Wow. Just wow. Excellent build!

Test fitting the bracket in the car and it clears the ABS pump just fine.



I then took the bracket and supercharger over to Accuracy Automotive, JParkr's & James Criv's shop and used his spare S50 to mock everything up on. I had to make a spacer that goes between the bracket and the lower alternator bolt.



spacer goes here


Then I made the spacer fur the longer 3/8" bolt that goes between the bracket and the supercharger.




All bolted up to the mock up S50, now I am just waiting for materials to come it to make the intake pipes and the idler pulleys so I can figure out the belt size.

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.

That thing looks great! ;)

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

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

+1 cool read!

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.

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!

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.
