Come on john, step over to the darkside.
I'm working on a simple and elegant solution now. I'm not going to go another year w/o track driving the NSX damn it! Def not willing to pull off the blower to do so.
I'll see what I can do for ya. I'm getting good at this...
They should be included FREE with S/C purchase. That'll get him to buy one. :smile:

I'm interested as well but the price has to be less than $8900 for the non targa
There's a good chance it will be
Guys I think it's only fair that when I negotiate the best deal I will ONLY provide it to people that have been serious and put their name on the list. If you want to sit out, and get a "deal" last second by jumping on the bandwagon without doing anything to actually help me negotiate a deal, then you don't deserve to be part of the deal. I'm doing everyone a favor, with no interest in this myself, I think the least someone can do is say "hey turbo, I will help you and everyone else by making a commitment, putting my name on the list so long as you hold up your end and come through for me". Whatever is on eBay, it will either not be legit or priced higher than what I will get. I'm not negotiating with a vendor. I'm negotiating with the MANUFACTURER. There is a big difference. You can only do that when you have a large quantity of interested buyers.
Jerminator, I hope you can understand where I'm coming from. I do understand where you are coming from. You don't want to be part of a group buy that offers you no better pricing than what you can just go out and get. I assure you, that will not be the case. So if you want to help me out and make a commitment by putting your name on the list, I promise to hold up my side of the bargain and getting you the best price possible

At 0.43-0.45 you can clearly hear the supercharger. I personally love the whine. Please note whine is ONLY there under load near maximum throttle. Otherwise it's pretty quiet.

That's a HUGE order! Shouldn't it be at least the price of the NOPI GB in the $7000-7500 range you think?

Good lord. I've had the car for barely six weeks and you guys post videos of this temptation. 
Let's not start speculating with random numbers. The NOPI GB took place during the breakup of Comptech machine and CT engineering. Plus, that was SEVEN years ago and parts costs aren't the same. Even then the targa kits went closer to 9. You have to understand Comptech has lowered their margins. The targa kit sold for $13,500 2 years ago.
One of the best things I've ever done to the car; Comptech Superharger!
This was a video Nero took. Perhaps he can attest to the loudness of the whine. I don't hear it over my exhaust and when I do it's rather soothing.

I'm not speculating with random numbers Dave-- I know the exact number and that info is accurate... Jus sayin' that was only like a 5-10 kit group buy. I think NOPI did get in trouble over the price being so low. I don't really have a dog in this fight bc I'm not a fan of superchargers and definitely won't spend $10k for one. Just don't let anyone push you around on the price and cite their margins or a sob story about feeding their kids, they'll be making more than ever on this deal if you have 20+ people signed up. Just my $.02!
HAHA! Ryu, that is the only reason I would consider one at a $7k price point (same as my future turbo)-- I think my exhaust can drown out the whine completely and then I'd get to keep my Messiah without having to listen to the damn thing!

The only problem... sounds like a cop siren so you'll never know if you're about to get popped! hahahha
I think comptech's reputation for standing behind their product is second to none. They didn't get to sell their products through Acura dealers by accident.

As I said before, that was 7 years ago, and that was during the breakup of Comptech into two entities. I paid $8600 for my targa kit, so I know what it cost. Also the number of sales was up there. I'm just trying to keep things realistic. No one is going to push me around. If the price isn't good enough for the guys that have signed up, then the GB doesn't happen. It's that simple. But obviously these are interested people, and there is power in numbers. It is a much better method than if individual tried to do this on their own. Both for them and for a manufacturer trying to build kits. Ill have more news soon.
Dave you've just set the expectations so high with your Advan GB
Please put me on the list. I'm in the process of making my dream comes true.
