Been working getting the supercharger to sit perfectly in an E30 bay.

Great work. Did you make the SC bracket already? If you need help with let me know, I can make it for you.

I almost have the design finalized I am going to cut one out wood to make sure it fits and then find a place to have it cut out on a water jet or laser. Do you work at a machine shop?

Sounds good. I have a machine shop and can machine it. If I have the right size piece of aluminum in my scrap pile I will do it for free.
I see you use Autodesk, if you can generate an Inventor file or .sat/.step/.iges file, then thats all I would need.

That would be awesome it is approximately 10"x16" and can be 3/8" to 1/2" thick. it looks like I can export to IGES. I'm going to try and finish getting the design finalized this weekend.

Great thread!

I've been inspired by watching this car for sure. I'd like more info on your wheel and tire set up. Where did you source your 2 inch lips? What tire and size? What color are the centers (BBS Gold?) and where did you source the paint?

Needless to say I'm enamored with your setup. So much so that my stock BBS RM will be here Thursday to begin their transformation. :D

Thanks a bunch and major props for clean work!

Thanks man.

The wheels are RM's 0012 stock they are 15x6.5 et33 with .5" lips

I got the new 2" stepped lips from a seller in Germany, I think it was this guy

Now the wheels are 15x8 et15

And the tires are 205/50/15 Toyo R888

To paint them I think I just used Rustoleum 7270830 - Gold Rush. I know that Eastwood also started making a gold wheel paint that I would have probably used if it was available when I painted my wheels.

Big thanks to slippery for cutting my bracket out. I haven't had any time to install it yet but I did hold it up to the supercharger and it looks perfect, hopefully this weekend I will have some more time to mess with it.

This car is so clean! The bay is perfect in my opinion.

any chance you'll share a part file for that bracket? or do you plan on reproducing and selling it?
