yeah I contacted Fensport as well and it wasnt available. But speedfactory is usually good about changing the status.

Oh no... please don't do the tS giant wang...! haha

I do love the BRZ set up and the performance package is amazing. Just gotta find some slotted rotors which will fit it. Oh and the STI kit on yellow just pops! I have a few STI dress up bits I'm gonna get. Gotta pay off my down payment first, so early next year hopefully the fun can begin.

Haha oh.... I don't know

Yeah man! My suggestion is to find some good light weight two piece rotors. I run the DBA 4000s and they're good, but heavy with the caliper and all that.

I've been looking at the AP racing endurance kit lately. I bet that would look great on the series.yellow too!

When you putting the cozzy on the new car?

I'll look into the DBA rotors as I had those on my FRS. They are good for sure. The AP racing endurance kit is cool but I'd get the sprint. Though since I daily my car, I'd need dust boots. Though the Brembos aren't bad tbh.

The cossie kit... well... it got taken into consideration with my trade in. So... no more supercharger. But at some point I'll get another one for sure! My favorite kit behind the Harrop.

Ah man... no boost. Well hey you'll get back to it. Are you planning on going Harrop?

I'm debating it. Though I did read one thing which really bugs me. And that's having to tap a wire in the fuse box. Though maybe I read that wrong. But in all honesty, I'd probably go Cosworth again. The difference between the two isn't much after tuning and shipping. I think somewhere around $500.

No boost though means I can appreciate the little things in life. Like little amounts of torque!

Oh man... the fuse box deal is a pain in the ass! It looks nice and clean but that literally took us an hour to do just cuz we could t pull the whole thing out of the housing. Other than that... superb kit. Check out the owners thread I've started if you haven't already!

I have! haha I read over it occasionally to compare the two kits. But my question I didn't see was about the water reservoir for the intercoolers in the manifold. Is there a pump or anything you need to refill? The Cosworth is conveniently located up top by the battery.

The reservoir fills from the top of the manifold and has a small built in bleeder in the intercooler that allows you to fully charge the system. Literally it was the most simple process to fill that I have seen. The pump simply fills as part of the system and you're good.

One thing I'm curious about is if Harrop tested the strain of the engine with the supercharger and came with a solid power/ torque output which was safe. I don't care about insane numbers, just reliability and longevity*.

The power/torque output and design etc. is all very similar to the Edelbrock, which as you know comes with their unprecedented warranty so I think that means something. You are right tho... FI does reduce engine lifespan regardless.

Nice cars! Just curious, why'd you get another?

A few reasons. after having all of the transmission issues I was a little bummed. And then when the Series.Yellow was announced I was hooked. So when I got a decent deal, I went for it. Though I really wish I had kept my supercharger :/
