Is the aftermarket going to have performance parts available in the next few months? Has Comptech or AEM already started working on it? Development shouldn't be too long, with so much K20 work already done, but there are other factors, too. The supension is all new (and quite a bit different, too), so there isn't any carry-over from the RSX, etc. Are you getting any direct help from Honda?
I just can't imagine a TOV project car showing up stock, with some freaky show-car paint job and a stereo. Good luck with the project, it'll be an interesting challenge.

yeah, it's going to be interesting since we essentially have 6 weeks to do the car. and most of the aftermarket companies just got their car yesterday too, so development work is going to be very hurried. Originally we thought we would be getting the car at the end of July but there just weren't enough Si's around to be delivering the project cars at that point. So now our schedule is extremely compressed.
