    Thumbs up Mods getting done...

    Finally getting around to having some mods installed...

    Getting my new brake setup in place for the supercharger!

    Also getting RedLine Water wetter in, some new lights to replace th parking lights, Energy Swaybars bushings, Rear Door Popper, and getting all my autometer gauges hooked up!

    Will pick her up tonight when my bud is all finished!!!

    Then this weekend will get the Supercharger installed.

    Should be fun.

    -Dave

    All torn down like that, I would have thought you were putting the turbo intercooler.

    Sounds like fun Cyrk. Hope it all works out! Let me know how the S/C treats ya. I want one bad, but with 8 t\years left on a factory warranty, I can't take the leap.

    Thumbs up

    Almost done, she was getting the full treatment, nice glossy red paint, polished cone, fuel rails etc...

    Should have her back tomorrow or Wed.

    Also just ordered the upgraded 5 psi pulley for it.

    Gonna drive it with the 4 psi pulley for a week or so then switch it out so I can notice the difference.

    Tone say the new pulley is good for 10 to 15 more HP.

    Looks Good!

    Well, it's about time you got those brake parts installed! We want a full report on the function of the slotted rotors.

    Remember to always check for the fuzz, before flooring it off the light

    Talking

    may I suggest upgrading to an Optima Red Top Battery!....LOL.

    I would think that one of the Hot Shot Intakes would look great too...I know that you can't get them anymore but I'm sure one could be had for the right price!

    Perhaps some red air horns too!

    Looks great...keep up the good work.

    The Hot Shot Intake will no longer work with the Supercharger (intake is relocated to the rear, extending to the front). Hey Dave... one word: SWEET!

    I may have to order that 5 lb pulley myself!

    Yea about the brakes, as some might remember N1 got me Stainless lines and pads form overseas... got the rotors from Powerslot over here...

    Pads fits great, Front lines great, Back lines were a no go as I think that the Jap spec might have drum rears? also was missing the feeder hose from the frame to the rear axle.

    So placed a order to Darlington Performance for my Rear Stainless Steel Braided Brake lines!

    Can't wait to see the improvement in stopping (I hope).

    Also I have the HotShot intake I might try to hack it up to fit the S/C we will see.

    Does any one else have the 5 psi pulley besides Tone?

    If so nice difference in the butt dyno?

    Will have some updated pics tonight, Should be getting her after work!!

    John we need to race to see what the S/C is compared to a some what stock VX.

    Hey Dave,

    For sure! I want to see what happens before and after my own SC and brake install. You may have an issue with the ABS with those steel breaklines. I've heard that they overpower the ABS because they don't have the line flex that is anticipated by the component.

    Man, I remember bringing up a 5psi pulley before, and people chimed in stating it would void the warranty and what not (before I understood that mine did NOT come with a warranty in the first place).

    Anyway, anything else need to be upgraded for the smaller pulley? How much is it going for?

    Got it from Tone... 95 bucks

    Have not got it in my hands should have it tomorrow.

    From Tone:
    Install is not bad with the right tool to pull it off the shaft and then push the new on one.

    Lookin' good Cyrk. Hope she treats ya well.

    If ya dont mind me asking, is your Isuzu/dealer factory warranty up now? Wondering how you came to the decision to jump in on the S/C install. I sure wish my warranty was not a concern, otherwise I would have one.
