    hi there nice motor kepp it going

    may i ask all that are reading this a question ?

    i would love to hear the whine of supercharger under my bonnet but im on a tight budget (i have a ABF running kjet). iv asked on the supercharge and turbocharge section and they all say megasquirt, but its money i still dont have. then i remembered turbo technics that also ran kjet. does anyone have any ideas how i could supercharge my car using the idea from turbo tech i.e 4 more injectors to increase the fueling (K star? am i correct)

    email me with any ideas save filling this thread up.

    sorry for the hijack mate. be interested in what sort of power it will produce look forward to reading next update.

    So, the car's been looking sorry for itself as of late and has been collecting dust for the last 4 months so it was about time i gave it a bit of tlc. Stripped the brakes and suspension. Everything was starting to rust so it was off to the platers for them. Picked them up during the week now sporting their new blue zinc coats.

    Fitted it all back up and now starting to mock up how i'm going to run the ducting front the bumper to the brake duct carriers.

    Brake brackets, brake duct carriers, ball joint extenders and trackrod ends:

    All back together:

    Managed to shred the other ball joint so can't finish the other side till i get a new one. Just got to work out how best to run the brake ducting. Anyone else fitted these yet??

    Keep it! Selling it would be a shame, but breaking it would be near criminal!

    Doesn't always mean that. Just means it's not been on the road since.

    Hello Higgy! Thanks for your patience. So here is your answer... Yes I still have the car! It hasnt been driven for 9 years but its still very much in one piece. I may have to sell it though as I now live in Melbourne and my parents want their garage back ????
