Driving around in 98 on 18s = Da Man...However NYCs streets got the best of my car, so I had to switch to 17s. The 18x7.5 MMPs were sold to my friend.
Well you get my drift on colors of the TE37. MMP is hard to come by, and harder to obtain.

-Peace
cool, that is what i thought, i told everyone who was with me that they were MMP but i wasnt to sure. At first i thought they were chrome but then i remembered something about MMP. Damn you had those in 98, must have been like the only set in the U.S., Hows the SC bracket deal going on, stillen still being a s sholes.

OT: what branch of service are you in. My dad is in the army..82nd airborne & 44th medical brigade.

18" x 7.5 ....16 pounds.

Not true, they weigh just under 20 lbs. like 19.9 or so.

Still fairly light for a 18" rim.

S/C Bracket is going on my car, and my car only.
I'm trying to get around it, and I can't, need that extra leverage towards the firewall, and there are no other places to mount it w/o making it look retarded. I'm gonna work on a CNC machines bracket, that will hopefully withstand the torque, and wear property of the blower.

wow that sucks about the guys arm.
That also sucks about the bracket also, hopefully you can figure something out. good luck with whatever you end up doing.

If I could do it over again, I wouldn't have got the Tantrums. There are scratch marks on my two driver side rims. It's my fault that the rims are scratched up though. However, I noticed the rims chip and scratch very easily. Oh well, the price was good, so I can't complain too much.

Probably blow myself to bits pushing 14PSi+.
Yup, cant let something like that keep ya down.

Well you do have a built tranny so, I think you should be alright. By the way, if the bracket and all the other SC stuff came together what would the price have been. Would it have been cheaper than stillens.

Yo its ok
Most drivers will take style over function.

A few drivers say screw style, and want wheels for the function of performance.
yeah my first set of rims were konigs, and they were to heavy, so i got these, they not only look good, they also light as crap

Matt...hell yeah it would've been cheaper. The prototype setup cost me $2200 to build, but I did all the labor myself. Production-wise we know exactly what to build to make it all work, the question is tranny, I'm not sure how it will fare on a stock or VB or VB/TC'd tranny.
The one thing I like about the Powerdyne Blower is that its half the sound of V2S from Vortech. [/B]
damn, that is cheap. Is there something about the powerdyne blower that puts more stress on the tranny than vortech's blower? 5sp owners would not have this problem, since they can take more abuse. Can you use BOV with the powerdyne. Oooooooh, sleeper effect, nice.
Well hey if you feel like making a couple more brackets maybe by next summer....:evil:..if not Stillen here i come.

Hmmmmm, interesting, i did not know that about the powerdyne blower. Seems like a good choice, maintenance and SC in the same sentence,

sounds like you researched this alot, lots of different options to choose from, i like it.

Alrighty no more questions from me, you dont need to say anything else.
