Luv the Supercharger
Just need to sort out the fuel build up when stopped at the lights, at the moment I find a couple of blips of the throttle before I take off seems to burn off the excess fuel and prevents the engine from bogging down .


Hey Mona Vale Road...

Doing some design work down that way at the moment.. Not for RMS(RTA) though..

Almost got the new clutch in, just gotta bolt up all the bits that had to come off to get access and it should be right to go again.

Moved it to the front yard.
Installed a new downpipe on the new carport.
Moved it back under cover.
Went to the other side of the house and started on the patio finishing jobs.
:(
So basically 20 seconds of driving and no jobs...

Cut out the wheel well. Made a template to replace, decided 1.2mm is probably too thick... mainly cause its a pain to cut cleanly. Looking for alternative.
