$5500 or so. I wonder what type of blower it is? I'm guessing centrifugal, but I can't tell for sure from the pics.

It's coming down to the wire on superchargers it seems. This one, Hymee's, Pettit's, Rotormaster's, AFE's, and I think I missed one. Competition is good though, keeps the prices down. :)

Where's the blower?

have a look at the radiator it's sloping the wrong way! looks like they are setting up for a V mount intercooler :)

I like the front lip.

i believe its underneath the strut bar, with the silver part at the front of the engine compartment being the top of the intercooler.

Yeah I really like that front lip too. I think it might be the best one I've seen so far.

If I remember correctly it is centrifugal.

You are correct on the intercooler placement.

The reverse direct radiator? Dunno... I think it might be their oil cooler (JDM cars only come with one).

Power output, etc? Haven't seen anything...

I take it it's an electric drive supercharger?

If the blower's up under the strut bar I can't imagine how they'd get a drive belt to it.

I am loving that body kit. What is it?

I'm would assume that the body kit would also be from the same company, but I don't know for sure. I will definitely watch our for it because is looks really, really nice.

yep looks very goooooood

Not exactly the best place for the intercooler though. For those of you who have removed the stock intake box, there is only a small hole for air to pass into the box. I dont think its nearly enough air to be really effective.

what wing is that?

the blower is belt driven it sits between the engine and intake next to the altinator.

they have moved the radiator so cold air should be able to reach the intercooler in a fairly direct path. it might not be ideal at the moment but I suspect we will see a much more efficient setup down the track.

Someone needs to PhotoChop that front plate off of there right away :eek:

yea i want that kit now lol.

ask and ye shall receive :D

everything on that car is Knight sports, except the wheels, which are Advan RS's

oh so sexy :)

i really like the spoiler.. ESPECIALLY that little cf lip thing in the back... kinda how the MS has one..

The finest front bar Ive ever seen !!! :cool: ....Or the whole kit for that matter

Like to see my intercooler through it though :p ( the front bar ..that is :cool: )

Ciao

THX :D

I really like the way the 'sponsors' on the side of the door are ghost. It doesn't intrude on the colour nor lines of the car.

I didn't even notice them until you just said something. That kit is really nice though! Wonder if it will fit for those of us in the US. :rolleyes:

The front bumper is about $850. Then add $2000 in shipping :P
