Then getting a Vortech Supercharger kit :D!!

Iv seen some go really cheap on here 2nd hand, so if someone is selling theres, and is willing to post to the UK, im interested !!

Any comments appreciated

Cheers

Why would u recommend to avoid the Vortech supercharger? and go for a Jackson? i have heard nothing but good things about the vortech kits and bad things about the JR !! I want my car mainly as a track car tbh, dont really care about drag times!!

Do you have any more pics from the front drivers side angle?

Seriously, cool hatch. Quite the turnaround from the granny-cart that it was. I'm liking the interior a lot.

I thought maybe i'd seen it before. That'll be where, then.
