Is your car supercharged John?

Matt.

It certainly is !! With the exception of the air feed and pulley size its a
straight copy of Jim Nowaks system ( hence the transmogrification of Jims
surname into a verb ) 290 BHP at the rear wheels with the tyres slipping is
great fun to put it mildly, however my favourite mod on the car is a Nathan
Goodlet exhaust (Flowmaster 70 with straight through 2.25 pipes) it makes
the car sound stunning ( just remember to remove right foot from "go" pedal
when coppers are sighted ).Other changes: First gear start (the best money
I`ve ever spent, if you`re reading this without one, get one!), in deference
to Eddy from Californias weight reduction fetish I`ve completely removed the
air con system ( generally superfluous here in England anyway, on really hot
days I can open the windows, on really, really hot days I can stop the car
at a pub and have a nice warm glass of beer  ), my car has navy blue leather
which to my mind did not go at all well with the rather dark, sombre walnut
M-B is so fond of so I had an ex RR veneer tech change all the wood over to
a (in my mind) much nicer, warmer honey coloured birdseye maple ( looks a
bit like a german Jag ).
All the best, John  `90 560SEC ( Nowaked, Goodletted and partially Eddied )
