Northern Virginia Roll Call

Your avatar makes me happy.

 

Did someone say supercharger?! I really want an STI as a daily though...

 

it blows me away when i see how much the sc is for one of these engines it costs as much as the engine does. a guy i know in cali has 1 on his 2.7 with cat back and cai and said it has more hp than a stock vd plus an ass load of torque

 

The superchargers were discontinued though, weren't they? Last time I remember looking, they were almost 4k plus the fit kit. If they made a factory sc taco, I would trade up. Would still love to put one on my current one though. Can't justify the cost right now.

 

Discontinued after 12. $4300 just for the kit I believe.

I would love the SC but that's just stupid money, especially if I have motorcycles to go fast. Plus you have to use 91+ octane with the TRD SC.

$4300? Ouch.

 

Probably When it was readily available..

 

Spacer will be fine for me. Wanted to go with a "nicer" suspension but couldn't justify the cost when I don't off road (read rock crawl) but for dirt roads, logging roads and a mud hole every now and then.

The bumper will definitely sag the front and put a lot of pressure on those springs. The guy I got it from said it dropped his front end an inch and a half. Maybe my front spacer lift will just even it out haha. @fatfurious2 did you say you were selling your OR springs? Do you know the spring rate on those? I assume it is a higher rate than SR5 but don't know that for sure...I would buy @spithead051 's OME set up but $300 is a little more than I am looking to spend right now.

That post was from 2011, but this is as good as time as any to get another meet up going!

 

I think smanz purchased his for way less than that back in the day, and did the install himself. IIRC only thing the dealership did was flash the ecu for him.

 

@FlyFishVA i dont have my stock off road coils anymore. I have OME nitrocharger struts and 885 springs, that I will be selling as soon as I get my Icons in. @Lots2Learn58 has his stock stuff still, not sure how many miles are on them.

 

On another note.. My bumper should be powdercoated today, and ready to be picked up tomorrow!!!!

 

Thank you sir, @Lots2Learn58 same question to you: do you know the spring rate of the OR spings?

 

My bumper should be done from powdercoat tomorrow! Too bad i am working this weekend. Anyone want to do a Thursday install?

EDIT: can anyone help on Labor Day? @Lots2Learn58 @TacoCat @90yota @TacoFMS

 

I believe it's 540#

 

If we can do a Thursday afternoon install for me too!

 

I work Thursday and already have plans labor day. Dates get booked quick so I need more than 6 days notice most of the time if you need assistance.

 

does installation include the use of jb wled?

 

I'm out of town this weekend and Thursday is my only afternoon free.

 

I can help you on Thursday, but I think im going to wait for @Lots2Learn58 on Monday
