I bought one of these for my NA as well.
There are a few extras on the CD like wiring diagrams, stereo pin-outs, reviews etc. Well worth it and very quick delivery.

The Jackson Racing kit is only US$2200 and you could add the boost upgrade for another US$400. That should give you 170 - 190 hp for a few dollars less.

I'm already running water/methanol injection and have a JR knock sensor fitted. I might wait untill the weather warms up a bit and do some temperature measurements to see what sort of heat is produced and if an intercooler is going to fix it.

JR supercharger upgrade

What's a good method of geting a bunch more hp out of a 1600 NA with a Jackson Racing supercharger? Should I reduce pulley size for more boost, fit an intercooler, change to an after-market ecu, get rid of the flappy air meter thingy, or some combinantion of the lot? What have other people done? tha...

I'm thinking of replacing the standard ones on my NA.

My NA has a Momo Corse which is 350mm dia.
It's a nice chunky wheel and looks great.

There was an overseas option, it just wasn't very obvious ;-) I just ordered some direct from http://www.directpartsconnection.com USD$10.82 for a pair + freight.

I've just bought a red 1989 1.6 with a Sebring Supercharger. Has water injection and a knock sensor for when the boost gets too good (or the fuel quality gets too low) It has an LSD and adjustable Konis all round. Sits on 15" TSW mags with 205/50R15 Michelins.
