BAB Terminator Update (Ported Blower / BBS)

[CobraTerritory]

First off sorry for the cell phone pics but anyways just a little update on my 1 of 0 Terminator. Was not really thinking of throwing parts at the car just yet but a buddy told me he had a Staggy stage 4 ported blower just sitting at his shop so i thought "why the hell not." Anyways as we all know that sparked a series of parts that had to be ordered. Actually started with Lethal Performance having a sale on Magnaflow so i decided to pick up an x-pipe. Just incase anyone else was wondering it WILL fit an 03 cobra. Lethal lists the pipe as 99-01 cobra only. Even when i called i was told it will not fit. I even called Magnaflow and they also told me it would not fit. At the same time a buddy called me and asked if i was interested in a set of staggered BBS RKs so i also picked those up. They were polished and needed a bit of work since they were extremely dirty which sent my OCD through the roof. Took the wheels to 2 different shops just to make sure they were good (no wobbles). So once i got the OK the weapon of choice was abrasive Scotch Bright pads. The wheels cleaned up real good. Its down to a brushed type finish (ready for gunmetal powdercoat). The finish on the blower is also not perfect or good enough for me to just put on the car so i'm debating what color to paint the blower. Parts that i'm waiting on are...

- Afco pro series heat exchanger (polished)
- Accufab single blade throttle body and plenum (polished)
- Billet Flow 2.76 and 4 piece idlers
- Kenne Bell Boost-a-pump

Anyways here are some crappy cell phone pics

You can see the ported blower on the top left of the pic too

Condition of rims when i picked them up. Barrels filthy, had to clean off a thin layer of plastidip, etc.

After!!! Ready to be powdercoated Gunmetal

Looking good JR :coolman:

I see your back in the RK club :rockon:

I have a friend who does custom powder coating for a living. If you want his contact info lmk. He does amazing work out of Fremont. I'm going to have him do my RK's soon here in an AutoCharcoal Gray with clear and flake. He does such good work he doesn't even advertise, lol and gives great deals too.

Yeah plans for a Hellion single or Whipple are on hold as of right now. Have to get my priorities straight and buy a house first. I hope this simple setup makes atleast 500HP?

F you...lol

Seriously jealus you just stumbled apon a set of staggered BBS RKs...lol you already have a sick car with sick wheels, now you gotta take a set of RKs off the market!

I think a silver like they are now would look better on BAB than a gunmetal

Yeah I just bought my first home in Feb and felt great to do so. Best of luck and with the supporting mods you should see 500-510 on pump (93).
