Do you have any info on them or links?

I use the DCI more than the brake pedal in my car lol. It is the best mod, if you have changed the headunit.

Ferrari,
im looking at that head unit ...
Does it fit behind the stock audio "door"?

From what i could tell the 9800BT is a US version isnt it (9850BT for Aus)?, does it work fine in Australia (years ago there was problems with spacing of FM stations)

The wired DCI is listed as working with that head unit. Any particular reason i should think of for going to the IR version?

cheers
Drew

I was worried it wouldnt fit, behind radio door, but it does. No reason why you should go wireless if it can take wired. Mine functions on FM just not AM stations.

Mod: Mugen Carbon Intake

Price: $1300 New

Performance: 5/5 Picks up cold air from the front of vehicle and has a ram effect as well due to the design of the intake kit.

Install: 2/5 Very hard to install. Takes a few hours. Bonnet needs to be cut out and also plastic cover between front bumper and radiator support for cold air intake.

Overall: You can really feel the difference across the whole rev range with this CAI and response has improved as well.

Mod: HKS Racing Suction "Reloaded"

Price: 850 New

Performance: 4/5, Picks up cold air from driver fender air guide and HKS air guide.

Install: 4/5, Took 30 minutes, easy install. Just need to remove stock airbox and fit the HKS intake.

Overall: Very Loud Intake (close to ITB noise) with more butt gain from mid to high rpm.

Mod: ASM SPL Header 07

Price: $2000++

Performance: 5/5, Looks awesome when new and it does not discolored after installing, retaining the goldish look. Gives more mid and high rpm gain.

Install: 5/5, same difficuly like any other header, nothing special.

Overall: Very Impressed with the build quality, one of the best or the best from all header for s2000 that I've seen plus it gives good hp gain.

The problem is with AM stations. The US uses 10Khz separations, we use 9.

Not sure how often you listen to AM stations but I wouldn't let it stop me buying a head unit from the US.

Any of you guys tried T1R this brand?made in Japan developed by AJ Racing in Canada...Quite famous in North America...They are specialized in Honda tuning parts. Got lots of awesome goodies from engine to cosmetic.
