Saw this on Jalopnik today! Awesome!

Very nice Spud, congrats on making to a limited group of Subi owners with custom S/C setup. Seeing your car makes me miss my setup. Good luck with it. Since I go to NH almost every other weekend, if your near Salem, NH let me know I love to see your beast in person.

Thanks

I live in Laconia, so I'm like an hour away from Salem, but if you come to NH every other week, I would assume you maybe come to the massive motorcycle rally we have every June? I know it's for motorcycles, but with 400,000+ people coming up it's a lot more than just bikes. I'll be here

and I'm still loving this Jalopnik thing, some of those comments have me LOL'ing all over the place

gryffinwings · 04-24-2009, 09:02 AM

Yeah but it's a flame fest over there, I like the comment that someone made about he could have put it somewhere else, I seriously doubt it, that thing is big. Oh yeah and the hood scoop comments get me ever time, where the hell are you going to get a hood scoop that would look good for that. Best leave it naked if you ask me.

Anyways this is a sick ass subie.

Spud,
When will your kits be ready for sale to the Subaru public? Sign me up!

Great project,
chrx

Spudchucker · 04-27-2009, 12:08 AM

Haha just come to NH and we'll make a weekend of it

Annnd update: I spent like 6 hours today prepping my beast, and another hour painting it. Best $7 I ever spent on spraypaint

I put it in the car tomorrow morning, will have pics!

**Skidd** · 04-27-2009, 06:11 AM

Nice Work.
That turned out good!
Looks almost factory and brand new now!

Spudchucker · 04-27-2009, 10:57 AM

Thanks Skidd

Painting this thing tells me that it could be a lucrative business buying, painting, and reselling these superchargers on ebay. It looks like it's worth a lot more money now, even though it's even more used than before

Believe it or not, I'm actually a HUGE, HUGE perfectionist when it comes time for me to want something looking good (I'm a professional portrait artist on the side, that's where it comes from) so this thing took me my entire day from noon to midnight on Sunday to do, with more little patches of tape here and there than any bodyshop would ever use haha. Now it's time to control my building ADD and get this Tactrix cable done!!! I sure hope I can solder individual copper strands to connection points that aren't much bigger themselves..

Annd more pics now

Spud, just buy one of the $20 Vag Com ebay cables rather than trying to repair your Tactrix cable.
