LOL not really, of this thread.

The blower requires 225 engine HP to operate, so I'm trying to bring the non-assisted LSJ up to that spec, it'll be tight but it'll make it, then I just have to try not to demonstrate how to blow the motor with boost surge. Be a little bit before I get the new blower together.

Ill be sure to tell Powell that when I order the rear. "Ah yes, I'd like the titty blue rear tow hook and do you have a harness bar to match it?" lawls

That is something I should look into doing when I get the chance, something to obsess over while waiting a few months for parts. Excellent execution though, very clean, watched one my guys back in Virginia plaid out his whole SRT-4, beastly 450whp deserves to look funky. You seem to know what your doing though he struggled lol!

Thanks I wanted to be a little different.

Took a few tries and a bit of patience. Hoping the door panels won't be too tough. And I need to find some black seats. Either some tc or sparco r100 will do nicely I think.

Corbeau's are affordable and they sell the mounting plates, have heated seat switches, and sell harnesses all the same, can even get a reclining seat. I like Corbeau more from a more practical $$$ point. Bride's are really nice but I don't have the money for em. Looking at getting some CR1's. Never spent much time with the Recaro (which has tried valiantly to take my ***** a few times) and Sparco.

Ill have to look into that. Powell sells the brackets for the sparco seats so thats why I'd go that route.

I can see it looking good if you do the door panels and do some black an d white seats otherwise idk if i can stand behind you on this route haha. Either way the stock seats gotta go

Your plugging the bitch ear holes right

Marlboro reds ftw
