Standard Stainless Steel Header & Exhaust 0.00
Sport Brake Package 985.00
Aluminum 2-way Adjustable Dampers 2,330.00
Standard Steering Rack 0.00
15" Front and Rear - Style A - Silver 594.00
Bridgestone Potenza S-03 - 195/50WR/15 Front & Rear 595.00
Racing Roll-Over Bar 1,080.00

2" Standard 4 Point Belts 0.00

Locking Fuel Cap 173.00
Seat Anti-Slip Insert Pad 175.00
Self-Assembly Kit 150.00
TOTAL 48,917.00



Yeah I picked the ecotec. the K series doesn't pass emissions in CA and it's 5K more than the ecotec. Plus the ecotec has 60ft/lb more torque.

I hope to place the order end of this year. I also hope to fly to Brammo and test drive it a few weeks before I order. Time to save up the pennies :hs:

rick you so crazy. i know there are 2 new atoms in socal with k-series, but not sure if they pass smog or not. might just be because they are honda guys. i saw pictures of one of those that wrecked due to cold tires, cold ground and cold brakes, it actually held up pretty well. good luck on it man, at least you wont have to wax to much on it h:

thanks airon. the car will be a sunny day/autox car 95% of the time. I might take it to work on those special rare occasions.

I just got an e-mail from them saying that they are only able to make 9 more with the Honda engine in it due to high want.

I wish I had $43000 for one. They are friggin awesome...imagine pulling up to PB, OB, or MB in one of those.... :drool:
