Went thru another's thread about this supercharger. Seems the Factory Strut Bar will not fit with this on. I believe the Strut Bar I have stands taller than the factory and I bought them as a set (front/rear) for $109 off ebay. I know some people say the front strut bar is not necessary but I personally would not run without it... just sayin...

Well maybe we can take yours off for a test fit :)

Yeah just the two spots on the door. They are going to knock it out.

works for me...

Looks Good Cornholio! I have also seen twin braces that go to the firewall from the stock strut mounting location. I dont remember if i have seen one for the 8 or not though.

My suspension should be in in the morning~!

You mean like my bar? or like what Missy has?

Not sure on the bar.... Ill post it when I come across it.

Anyway I added a Cob and GoodBox to my parts list. My goal is to only have one "gauge".

Missy has the Corksport 4 point... not sure if it will clear the SC though...

or maybe you are thinking of the GT Spec 6 point

Yeah that may have been it Mike. Not sure..... that thing looks nice! I wont have to worry about it getting in the way as my oil filter will be under my car soon :)

What size or model blower is used by the Hymee kit?
(I have heard it was a bigger blower, it could be the Autorotor equivalent of the Lysholm MX-420 or MX-422.)

Soooooooo....... Look what we got delivered today :)

WOW That looks Great 9k. Could you get a pic of the clutch disk... I have allways wondered what it looked like. Ha I can see all the boxes in the background. Sorry guys lol.

Not sure what unit it is off the top of my head. I knew at one time... Anyway it is 2.1L.

The clutch actually came mounted to the flywheel. I would have to disassemble. BTW, I saw the perfect tranny jack at harbor freight (hint hint) :lol:

Edited because I am retarded.

Sprintex S1-490 :ylsuper:

that is a good looking clutch and flywheel.
you will need to disassemble to mount it regardless because the flywheel gets bolted to the engine.

:lol: Duh. I haven't had my tacos this morning so I am a bit loopy.

Okay, got the wheels mounted :) 18 x 10 +45 Forgestars with 265/35-18 Nitto NT-05's

cutting no corners. this looks like one hell of a build in a short time

SARX baby :) That's how we roll. Next build thread will be mine :)

You are correct on one thing mscamp02. I will not be cutting any corners.

It looks like a quick build time but it really is not. I have been working toward an FI goal for many many months now but laying low. I was largely undecided about My FI of choice and even tried to make an appointment to see Corky Bell about doing a turbo kit for me. Then Tubingchamp's SC came up for sale and I could not pass on a chance to own that bad boy.

There are many more months to go before everything is ready and we are really going to take our time with the test and tune portion. EVERYTHING will be data logged, documented and done the right way.

I am still very undecided on what I am going to do with the exhaust, engine coolant solutions and maybe some trick coatings by Swain.

:O its only two more pounds then your set up and not bad for a 10" rim with 265s. Your build thread will be Epic 9k.

Yeah, not bad at all :) I just had to steal some of your thunder :lol:

Definitely not heavy for the tire/wheel sizes. Will there be any fitment issues or will you be able to avoid rubbing with that offset?

There should be Zero fitment issues. +42 is not aggressive. (was told by the Rishi that its actually = +38 to the stock size... something about the width. I did not really get it) I am also using 265's and they are just a little bit of a streach on a 10" rim.

I am also not going to go very low. My goal is about a half inch lower then it has been with the progressive springs. I also dont want more then -2.5* camber in the rear if I can at all help it.

Beautyfull....I remember the days when my parts were ready to be installed...I was all giddy with joy!!!


Enjoy the goodies sir!!!


:beer05: soon

I'm giddy about installing them and they are not even for my car :lol:
