I love the R&D that went into the fitment of that IC. Do you ever park this car in a parking lot? I hope you don't scrape the pipes off the thing. I'm not talking trash here either, you should get that thing sitting higher, or else be extreemly careful not so scrape that front end..
Found your other pics though, I do like your mani better than the star, and it looks like the fitment is a little better. Starr has shit for quality control..

I edited to the wiki!

what all was missing from the kit when u bought it or did it come with everything

Here's a link to the kit.

I personally am not a fan of how that intercooler looks, but everything else seems to be OK. I think they had another intercooler when they first came out with the kit and I liked that on better.

My friend just recently dealt with Treadstone and he wasn't too happy with the service. DSMCrazy3 here and on DSMTuners. He bought a manifold through them, great quality, but customer service kinda sucked.

they did have a different intercooler but i guess they were kinda small 6x18x2 no kits went out that way i have had quite a bit of email corespondance and it seem like a 1 guy operation aka jason stone


every thing he said was coming came but the piping was genaric so i had to but 45degree coupler a a stratit coupler and a few more tbolt clamps the fmic sits so low because i had some bracets fabed localy and the bumper wasnt on the car when it was done but the center bar on a standard tow truck clears it so im and i dont scrape any where in the street of my town can even get up some pretty steep driveways i not moving it any time soon i also had to get the down pipe welded it came with flanges and bends but had to get them welded and came with no fuel system but after all fab work and fuel system it has all cost about 2300 for a stage 2 kit then i got a few goodies i didnt need on top of that so im at about 2800 cheaper than hahn or star i believe

ps sorry no more pics ill post em later

By all accounts, it's a good buy. We're not downing that.

But I call a spade a spade, and no matter what anyone else calls that kit, i'll call it a STAR kit, because they're exactly the same.

I guess for the price you cant ask for something perfect but if I were you i would plan on moving the filter after it rips loose from the compressor housing.

the filter thet came with i did rip loose but i had an extra and heve been thinking about where i want to put it for a while

Agreed. Just looks half-assed to me. Doesnt fit the shape of the car. Sell it and buy a nice one that actually fits in the opening and doesnt stick down.

-Roman

I got my intercooler and piping for like 209 shipped on ebay. Looks and works great. I'm sure you could just find just an intercooler for even cheaper than that and it should look better.

I like the downpipe...Wish they'd sell that downpipe by itself, external wastegate is gettin on my nerves...not to mention the lack of flexpipe scares me

I <3 boost

'97 CBR 600 - Purple is a real man's color

did you install the kit yourself or did you have installed profressionally?

i only blew my 420a 0nce

Judging by all the scrapes on just his bumper, I am willing to bet that that intercooler pipe is gonna be ripped off in about a week or so

Just give up now and sell the car

That IC placement makes me cry...sniff...sniff.

Just an FYI I have a star fmic and piping for sale in the FS section if your intrested. The fit would be perfect for your kit judging by the mani. I do like what they did with your DP though, I keep meaning to take mine to the shop and get it done so I'm not torching my starter all the time, I'm just too damn lazy to do it though...

I edited to the wiki!

was the IC piping hard to installand the downpipe?
I also have the treadstone kit

i only blew my 420a 0nce

how much did they charge you to make the downpipe?
Also is there anyway that the IC can be moved up more to keep
that bottom pipe from sticking out of the bottom of the bumper?

you could probably get the downpipe done for under 100 and the intercooler could be moved because you have to make the bracket yourself and i also kept the stock bumper support accept for the little area i cut out so you could not see it when i cut the bumper cover and so the intercooler fit better

i only blew my 420a 0nce

Hey im planning to buy a treadstone kit in about a month so. I am just wondering if yours is still in once piece after a few months of driving hehe.

Congrats on being brave enough to try out a new company and saving $500 by fabricating all the extra parts missing from the kit yourself, looks like you did a good job with the exhaust. Keep us all updated on how it works out.

i will ad recomending replacing the hose that goes to the pcv valve with some higher quality hose because mine was sweating oil in a really wierd way. i stoped driving it this week i am taking the motor out for a biuld. i had 5XXX miles on the turbo when i started pulling the motor
