They were petty awesome, but I really wanted a full size lift in the garage, so I opted for a 2 post a couple months after.



It's been awesome to have, and has made quick work of all the cars that come through.

Awesome! You have me thinking about picking up a couple of quick jacks myself, pretty reasonable. Any downsides you notice while using them?

If you have some time, I really recommend reading this thread here. I have posted a ton of good information in there regarding the kit, including some track data.

When I first got the kit, I did a review on it. You can check that out here. It goes over a lot of what you are asking about.

In a nutshell, I was not happy with any of the kits I had personally installed up to this point. They all had some problems during installation (even a $8k Cosworth setup). After Edelbrock announced their kit, I started to follow the progress, and it became evident that it was going to be the kit for me. After installation, my suspicions were confirmed. The instructions were extremely detailed, everything fit exactly as intended (no cutting, welding, etc), and the support being one of the early kits was top notch.

So far, I have no complaints with this kit. I daily drive it, autocross it, track it, and it has met or exceeded just about every expectation I've had.

My end goal for the kit is 300+whp with a pulley on pump gas. And some more with flex fuel down the road.

I'll link you some videos in a bit.

I REALLY loved them over a traditional Jack and stands. They make lifting the car to jack stand height really easy, and they fit under my low car easily.

The only real downside is the hydraulic lines, which are a necessary evil. They are cumbersome when you're trying to move around in front of the car, as they go from the pump to each side of the Jack.

Even with that downside they are well worth it.

Do you have more photos of the center exhaust from a distance?

Oddly enough, just about every picture I have of it, its not visible becuase of the angle its at under the car. I will ask him to take a few for me today.

In the mean time, here are some pictures of another exhaust I did that came out of a Lotus diffuser. This one exits above the diffuser since it didn't have the hole that the other guys has in the middle of the diffuser itself. This is the rest of the exhaust that compliments the AVO turbo outlet and overpipe I posted earlier. Customer request was a single piece exhaust from the Overpipe-back, and must have 3" tips that exit 3.5" trim rings. It was an absolute mother to build, but came out pretty cool.

Tips I made:


The full bitch:


Installed (missing diffuser lol):


I will get some pics of both of them in the completed state here shortly.

The Exhaust Diffuser combo that made me cut my bumper. Looks great.

2 Questions
1. Do you have more detail pic of SSR GTV03? Looks like 17's, but iirc 17's they only make in 17x7 with 50 offset.
2. Where do I need to send the money, so you can make me a custom exhaust. Cuz seriously, you fab job is awesome!

Keep up the great work!

1) The SSR GTV03s are 18x8.5 +44 square with a 5mm spacer in the front and 10mm spacer in the rear.

2) I don't want to infringe on your vendor rules, but if you'd like to talk I wouldn't mind hearing what you had in mind for a design. I think you were up at 86fest at Summit Point this year, which means you probably aren't too terribly far away from me

Ah~ gotcha, I thought it was 17x7 ones and not the 17's. Thanks for the detail info.

As for the vendor rule goes on this, as long you don't make a continuously business out of it. Example, just say you did make a custom exhaust & say I posted the exhaust everywhere and you start getting crazy amount of request for custom exhaust. When you start making custom exhaust every wk or even a month and advertising it on the forum, THEN that'll be going against forum vendor rule.

If you just keep your work in member journal and not advertise it, I don't see anything wrong with it.

FYI 86Fest is in Cali & I missed this year's 86Fest. You mean 86EXPO? If that's the case, I flew there lol I have several friends up there

I'll PM you later more detail on the idea. For now, I'm hangry and I need to eat first.

I'm liking those fab jobs - great work. Also, it's also comforting for me as a newbie e-force owner that someone who works on cars and knows this stuff much better than i do chose the same supercharger after considering the other available options.
