Default Some new JDM mods done - No 56k Behrman Blitz

Just got back from the body shop, car was a bit dirty from sitting in the shop for a couple of weeks. Too cold to wash her, December in England

Blitz front grill + de chromed top piece
Behrman Roof Spoiler
Berhman trunk spoiler
And Berhman front fenders

Fit on the fenders was not 100% so required a fair bit of prep to get right. But im pretty happy with the end result

Wow, that is one badass ride, you have everything.

I saw a new Blitz super charger selling on Yahoo Japan for around $9k, you should get it as well.

BTW, check the pressure of you front tires, they look a little low. Put at least 40 psi to protect your rims.

The discount price is still outrageous, imho.
If I read that ad correctly, the SC430 will gain only 20-30 hp from the Blitz supercharger.

Yep I was thinking 40hp max but should see 400 lbs tq, but even so soon get bored with that.

Will probs get the MVP camshafts / valve springs and piggy back 80-100hp maybe, 100 shot of nos and some forged internals.. hate to go pop.

Hopefully just my B&M cooler should be fine on the transmission side.

All the Behrman parts I got from http://www.takakaira.co.jp

Their prices are very good but shipping is pricey plus all the Behrman stuff is packaged in huge boxes. Of course shipping is based on the size of the box

And then I got hit for tax when it was delivered

Looks great Aqua if I had a black SC it would look like that lol. What issues did you have with the fenders? I have mine sitting in the garage been waiting to put them on but since my car is white I have to respray the whole car. I bought a 545 with the economy going to the dumps everyone is unloading there v8s. I have no money for the sc anymore it just sits in the garage for the winter

A great time to buy at the moment, brand new cars pilling up by the 1000's.

Mines just a garage queen, if she see's daylight once a week she's happy

Most of the fixing holes had to be reworked and its a really tricky job fitting them. Ideally you need to remove the doors which I did'nt want to, if the doors dont go back 100% fitment then I would be forever pissed. Due to that they had to fit the fenders and then spray them after they where fitted.

Being fibre glass their very flimsy. I have a bit of a rub up front and instead of that nice heavy metallic sound as it resonates through the steel fenders its a very nasty tinny sound.. will take some getting used to
