...and no I didn't copy you! I've been planning these for several years now. ...but good recipes work!
I have a good friend of mine who has the original Spoon (Showa) coilovers and he has 12K front and 10K rear and I really like how his car rides and performs better than mine.

Haha I know, if anything, I'm copying you in terms of the supercharger kit, strut tower bar, custom piping etc.
Got my Cusco bar on finally, powdercoaters were backed up so it took me nearly 2 weeks to get the end plates back lol. Crazy amounts of clearance to the charge piping.
Looking great Kyle! Love the piping! On a small note...keep an eye on that silicone 90 attached to the blower and intake tube...when it gets hot it may start to collapse under high levels of vacuum. What are your piping diameters?
I'd also take a closer look at your cruise control cable. It seems to be touching the strut bar bracket. You may want to tweak the bracket that holds that cable such that it doesn't touch the bracket or over time it will rub through the outter jacket and cause the cable to fail.
I'm still trying to decide if I want to powder coat my end brackets on my Cusco strut bar black or silverstone...
...I'm also wondering when you'll start your OWN build thread?

I plan on remaking the intake pipe with all tubing. Initially I was going to build one like yours, but due to the thicker radiator & shroud, a 90 degree bend wasn't possible without making contact with the radiator shroud. My fabricator was pressed for time, so we just build this instead. I've since gotten a cast 90 elbow with a much tighter bend radius and will eventually have a new intake fabricated. The intake is 3.5"
Yeah I noticed the cable making contact with the bracket. I'll either put some kind of protective sleeve on the outside of the cable or tweak the bracket. I didn't really have the time yesterday to look into it further.
I was going to make my own build thread but it's similar enough to yours that it would be a waste of time. Just figured I'd add some stuff to this "official" TTS thread. I won't threadjack anymore though, sorry, lol.
