Sorry guys, forgot to list these here before I put them on eBay. Stock SMIC with shroud and stock CA coldpipe with rubber TB to pipe piece.

Reserves are low and I will combine items for shipping.

$35 for the intercooler and $20 for the coldpipe. I need $ more than I need these cluttering my garage floor. Just sucks that I paid $125 + shipping for those plus a stock hotpipe

I wanted to run a Supra SMIC but I didn't feel like having custom piping made at the time. I waited like a good little boy and I got an ARC M700 SMIC instead

Where did you get the ARC sidemount?

I know they are hard to get but you must release your source.

BoroBoroS13 sent me this guys email and $250 and 3 months later, a $900 SMIC was in the car. Sorry, but even if I had the guys email I wouldn't give it to you. He was the single worst person I have ever delt with online!!!! Keep your eyes on eBay. REMEMBER that the SR and CA use the same intercooler, so search for an SR one.

And I didn't choose it for "sleeper style". No blocked radiator air flow, small core means little to no pressure drop, bar and plate construction, aluminum so nice and light, and designed for 300rwhp on an SR so just right and the price was right.But yes, it is invisible, so I guess that makes me a sleeper? But I hate racing (in a straight line) so I guess I'm not a "sleeper"

i'm not into drag racing either, but the fact that you don't have a huge front mount with BLITZ or ARC on the front make you a sleeper.

I <3 my ARC side mount! I think I was gonna get the one you got Rico (its a CA one right? ) but the guy was taking FOREVER (months... and months)! so I asked for my money back and got one from Enjuku... They had a used SR one in stock at the time

Yeah, mine is a CA one. But there is no difference in the cores, just the piping for the SR one that bolts to the IC has a "hole" for the stock compressor bypass valve. Note: My stock IC would heat soak after a 5 minute drive on a warm day. The ARC M700 stays cool after a 30 minute flog in the summer. I rarely use my intercooler sprayer anymore.

Yeah Sean, prob same guy. Took just shy of 3.5 months to get the IC to me after payment. What are you gonna do for an international shipper who speaks broken engrish?

I think I've said this before, but you have a REALLY nice car.

If I play my cards right, I may luck into an S13 coupe in the next week or so. I'll be askin' you a lot of questions if I do, lol.

EDIT: Did you car come with the black stripping around the outside? Did you simply pull it off? It looks good, regardless.

Well, it came off nicely across the doors and fenders, but the rear bumper turned out to be a biotch. I am really shetto, so I pulled the stripes off and rattle-can'ed the bumper. Looks crappy, but better than the black striping! This summer should see a semi-full strip of the car and a paint job by me and my homies. That way, the new wheels that I hope to get, as well as the rivited on flares won't look silly on a crappy car. O the plans we weave...

BTW: Stock SMIC and shroud didn't sell, so it is still up for grabs!

Very very possibly. I still have my stock wheels that I can throw my Azenis RT-215 for daily, I am thinking either Starion wheels, polish the lip and PC the spokes blue or red and run 15mm spacers.

OR a set of Nismo LM GT-2 (if I can find the 16s I have seen before on eBay again) or a set of Black Racing/Watanabe RS-6s. Or a set of SSR anything.
