electric supercharger

Pug gave me a ride in his car. I liked it alot. Plenty of power for the street IMHO. I'd be much more likely to spend $1500 on one of these than 3 times the amount on a turbo but that's just my opinion. The turbo will make more power but not worth the extra cash to me. I could get in more than enough trouble with this set up.
Thanks Pug. Good to meet you.

@jeffsides @Yruyur @Ninjin for helping me out today!

I probably owe Jeff a six pack or something with what happened but I appreciate it guys! Maybe we can do this shifter springs when my pulleys come in and there won't be any oil that's for sure!

I really like the design of the wheel. However, I think white would look awesome on a Firestorm. It might be old school but any time I see gold or bronze on a car I can't help but think of pimpmobile.

If you favor Enkei, have you considered Raijens? Gorgeous..Not in gold tho,altho Im not sure thats a bad thing.. I like black or white on a firestorm personally.. Bottom line tho is if you like those wheels, theyre good wheels, lightweight,& the frequent autocrossers choice.. Its your car,the wheels themselves are pretty well acclaimed..

Gold or bronze only belong on subie wrb. White looks great on red.

selling my never installed TRD door stablizers - I think I paid $250. Got them months ago and they've been sitting, figured I would refocus my modding. Asking $200

A big thanks to @Ninjin for throwing the deposit for the spring compressors.

I run RPF1's in SBC (polished). I personally love the wheels. However I am not much of a fan of the visual appearance o the 8" and smaller width. The spokes extrude past the face (flat part touchign the lip). 9+ inch the spokes and face are flat. The picture on tirerack is showing a flat face 9+inch wide wheel.
