Group buy on ALSC Aus$ 680 got front seats, rears seats, all four head rests, centre console pad, handbrake cover, arm rests and enough material to do the rear shelf.

I have the factory Toyota air bags with after market adjustment so I can ride at any height I want. - Need it up to get into my garage!

lxsv8, you have to excuse some of my brother here stateside..They have so many comments. Most are "posers" and I think they don't even own a car. I guess if you are not rocking an Eaton you can't have a supercharger.

Looking mean Brett, not a fan of the hood scoop though.

I will give you a call next time I am coming down to the Gold Coast and catch up with you..

I love the hood scoop but each to their own I guess. I was looking for a meaner/tuffer stance and it also allows a lot of colder air into the engine bay and gives the hotter air an escape route (hot air rises!)

Catch up soon Paul!

Red Phoenix have you been getting my replies Ok?

Very nice ride...I like your attention to detail, and the centrifugal SC is awesome

I always like to see a fellow SC/Soarer brother take the V8 and make the commitment to "Power it Up". You have obviously committed to your project, and your dedication is quite evident.

The 18's look great, and the high boost is sweet...

I have moved the battery to the rear and intend to run the air intake over where the battery was. Engine Bay needs a good tidy up!
The Kit is Origin front and Vertex side and rear.

There are 2 tail pipes on each side it just can not be seen in the picture.

Wheels are Japanese Godfathers in a shadow chrome and they are already spaced at rear although may need a little more yet.

with this said, did you have to move the battery to the back? The guys over here are running the supercharger on the other side. I was trying to get an idea if it was mandatory to move the battery.
