Well since I didn't have a lift, no impact gun and no cheater bars it took me forever. I also did the fronts and rears on different days. The fronts weren't too bad. From the time I broke out the tools till I put them away for the fronts was probably 3hrs. The rear atleast the same. All because of a couple of bastard bolts. Front Power Brace was easy, tools out till tools away probably 1hr 20min and that's because I take my time with everything.

I think I remember a post with a guy saying that pretty much the only aftermarket intercooler beside the stocker that would fit is the AMS Street Core.

the installs look great but it is much faster with a friend....me and my friend put them in about 2 and a half hours... and adjusting took another hour or so... the car must feel like a beast with that power and the trunk and rear seats out... good luck with her

yeah tell me about it. always good to have an extra hand. Since I stripped the trunk and the my heavy subbox and amp out I notice a difference. It got me thinking about some nice weight reduction.

$195.00 shipped from Z1 performance here on the boards. Kind of funny you mentioned it being so visible. I bought it more for looks than anything I guess "To each is own"

thanks again for the comments guys. I've been picking up some affordable parts until I'm ready for my HTA35R kit....and yes I'm on that bandwagon because I've experienced an HTA35r powered Evo and I'm addicted.
