Every year it looks a little bit crappier... thankfully, its fast or I dont know what I'd do with myself.

Still the same as the sig. I'm "only" running 10psi (210-ish WHP) right now, the timing at 12 is a little too crazy and the car doesnt like it. It needs a retune but i wont do it until my new exhaust gets made and the AC comes out next spring.

No... I never use it, whatever I gain back in freewheeling pulley loss will be negligible. I'll have a second car as of next week, so the civic is gonna be my toy.... there's no point keeping AC at that point. That damn compressor just takes up so much room in there, it'll be nice to have it out of the way.
