LoveFab (Cody), AEM & BBSC
As some of you know, I'm an "early adopter" of the BBSC. I was one of the original 50 installs in May of 2002. To say I've gone through a lot of tribulations over the last 5 years and 30,000 miles is an understatement. I have a OBDII NSX(1999) and after two Split Second boxes and numerous tuners, no one could get it to run well on the street. It did OK on the track but the drive to and from the track was less then desirable and sometimes downright miserable. Two years ago, I had to change injectors, disconnect the supercharger to pass emissions here locally. Then of course I had to re-install the injectors and supercharger to get my horsepower fix. Last fall I had just about decided to go back to stock (another emission test was coming up) when I read about the new AEM FIC. I tried to read as much as I could about it but I've learned to always be a little skeptical of what one reads on the internet. I finally called and spoke with Cody. He had first hand knowledge of the unit and pretty much convinced me that my car would run like stock after the unit was installed. One of the biggest problems all of the tuners couldn't over-come was the drive-by-wire issues. Well I'm here to tell you that I picked up my car about 7 hours ago and after 175 miles, I'm still smiling. My car now runs like it is completely stock...right up to the point that the supercharger kicks in. I'm sure if Mark Basch had access to this box when he started, he'd still be selling superchargers (at least to OBDII owners). I can't say enough about Cody and how comfortable I felt after talking with him. He's a young man who takes pride in his work and cares about his customers (now if we could only get him a little closer to civilization). The point of all this is CODY IS THE MAN!!!. Also, if you have an OBDII car and you can pick up a BBSC, purchase an AEM FIC and drop your car off at Cody's place, you won't be disappointed. On the other hand, if you have a need for crazy horsepower, have Cody build one of those turbos he's so famous for, install and AEM FIC and have a blast. Either way you can't go wrong.

. As expected (but still apprehensive), I plugged the States emissions testing unit into my NSX's OBDII port and waited for the inspector to give me my result. Came back as "Congratulations this vehicle meets Illinois emissions standards". Not only does my car run as good as the day I bought it but it keeps the environment clean. I just can't thank Cody from LoveFab enough for the installation and setup. Oh yea, the one difference in my car from the day that I bought it is...it's way faster.
