I know this is late notice but, Matt (ridinclean) is coming from Jacksonville to Fort Myers Friday night 2/24 for an overnight install of his Trilogy Supercharger. The install will start around 5PM and finish sometime before dawn. All are welcome to come by and hang out and show Matt some south FL hospitality. You don't have to stay till it's done but if you do, you'll see some late night burnouts!

I'll be there as well, a bit later. Oh and I'll bring the super homemade in car camera mount... maybe we'll catch Matt's first 'squeals' of joy on tape!

Been there, done that!... Wish I could do it again. It was one of the coolest days and most of a night I have ever experienced. The usual cast of characters will really show folks how intelligence and common sense can be paired to create a work of art. If you were to put tutus on these guys, it could be called, "Dance of the Trilogy in Seven Parts". Maybe I'm taking this a little too far...:rolleyes:

Yep. Matt's on his way to my house, then we head to Ft. Myers together. It looks like another night in the lab for Me, Carfixer, and Shakes_26. This will be Trilogy install #14 for Carfixer. People from near and far seem to never stop ringing his phone, or showing up on a Friday night for some major surgery. :cool:

All the pieces are in place, the guest suite is waiting, so if you're in the area, please stop by!:welcome:

I gotta tell ya, I never get tired of doing this...:up:

Now you got me all upset. # 120 is awaiting delivery and will likely be a week or two getting here and then a weekend job to install.

I'm gathering bits and pieces, thanks to Tallboy, and I'm gettin itchy.

Good luck with the install, wish I was there,

Still planning on Florida in mid April , unfortunately not with the MM.:alone:

Matt, When the guys are done and Claude takes you for the shake down cruise you will be astounded at what they have done to your baby. You will not believe the transformation. This kit is a lot more than just power. Off boost the change is as great as on. Amazing and astounding. Congrats and don't forget the locals are counting on you for the wonderful fried rubber smoke that envelops their neighborhood. " I think that was the last one, Dad" from the young gal down the street. The peak of their roof just showing over the smoke bank. Have a blast, had hoped to be there but no chance for that, tonight. Have fun in the lab, guys. Dennis:beer: PS. HI MOM! Pepperoni pizza and Yinglings.

Install is done! We fired it up right at midnight. We had me, Tallboy and Shakes26 working away all night. Visits from silver2004Marauder, KingFubar, and ThePackRat. We had a blast.
There are a few new sets of black stripes in front of the house.
Ridinclean has a permasmile on his face. He's gonna have a fun ride back to Jacksonville!

How do you guys do those installs so damn fast ? Ridinclean, I want to know, what was the feeling when you first went WOT. ???:burnout: :burnout:

Matt glad to hear everything went well as planned. Congrat's on your new Trilogy Kit. It's a big difference from stock.

Bobby, we have a team to do the installs. Tallboy does most the disassembly of the engine, Shakes26 does most of the electrical and boost guage installation. The day before the car arrives, I spend a good couple of hours preassembling the supercharger to the intercooler, opening all the boxes and laying out all the components in logical order, separating and sorting all of the hardware and laying out all of tools needed for the job before the car even arrives. Sometimes we let the owners or guests jump in and get their hands dirty.

BTW, we may be visiting NB this summer. Maybe I can put a day aside for an install in NS. :burnout:

Well, according to Donna, #120 should be on it's way to me on Monday. I figure it'll be a week or two by the time it gets to me(Customs etc.)

That'll get it here for the weekend of the 11th, and as luck will have it , I'm on my way to Nashville until the 15th.

Therefore, I'm hoping we will begin install on the 17th-18th and have the weekend to get it done.

You guys have been super with help so far and I really appreciate the "help=line " offer, we will likely need it.

I think I got all the extras, A-pillar mount, and thanks to Chuck, the relocation kit etc., so I'm ready to go.

My buddy has been in the business for over 20 years and has built several of his own machines, so I'm hopeful we can get the job done, but no way will it be as quick as you guys, that's amazing.

Thanks again for the help and the 411, like I said ,I'll be in the area,( Indian Rocks ), from the middle of April till the first of May, so I'd love to come and find you guys and say thanks in person. :burnout:

Bob.

Yeah, we make it look easy. But, that's with 2-3 guys working. Plus we've done over a dozen of them, and have developed a nice "rhythm" now. Carfixer and I rarely have to refer to the manual, and always know what the other is thinking. I'll see him doing so-snd-so and I know he is going to need this-and-that, so he turns around, I've got it ready to go. Make no mistake-I am the humble Igor to his Dr. Frankenstein.

[For you movie buffs, it's "Eye-gore" and Dr. "Frahnkunsteen"]

You guys are quite a pair of installers. I can't imagine the energy in the room as you perform your magic surgery.

Hats off to you guys,

Yup, complete professionalism with constant ballbusting humor. Good friends who work and play well with each other, these 3. Chuck is the Eye-gore with the abby normal. There are no better hands to be in. :D Dennis

First of all sorry for not posting sooner but yesterday i was busy marking up the streets of jacksonville with pretty burnout stripes. This freaking car is a monster. When me and Claude went for the test run i couldnt believe the power my car had when i first stepped on the go pedal!!! It is a completely different car now. One thing that I immediately noticed is that it shifts alot better now. Like many people have said before me this is the way this car should have come from the factory.

It was great meeting all of you guys and i greatly appreciate all of this. Im going to have some fun with this thing. Thanks everybody for stopping by. Chuck and claude really know their stuff and it showed with how everything went so smoothly.

A special thanks goes out to claudes family for being so hospitable, joshua thanks for letting me crash in your bed hahaha. what a cool family, everyone wears Godheads shirts!

Ive already taken my family and a couple of friends for a ride and they couldnt believe it...i love this car! I dont think my brand new tires are going to last all that long...is it bad that i have the urge to get into the boost all the time?

When me and Claude went for the test run i couldnt believe the power my car had when i first stepped on the go pedal!!! It is a completely different car now and i have no regrets. The car really shifts so much better and the whine of the blower is like a very addicting drug!! I love the sound of it.

Having been in a Trilogy MM before i knew that it would be a very powerful car. I was actually a bit scared in the passenger seat of one for the first time. But when its your own car and you stomp on it full throttle from a dead stop, the tires spin and it takes off like a rocket!! Alot of things were running through my head. It really started to hit me when i was sitting in the drivers seat and chuck yelled "fire in the hole" for the initial startup. Going wot though was the jaw dropping moment when i knew that this was money WELL spent on some serious power!

Yea I dont think my current ones will last that long. By the way nice burnout, you left a huge cloud of smoke over the street, we had to turn the lights out and go inside. :lol:
