Note the Depos they're new as well. Yes I know I have some paint work to do :lol:

This is the beginning of trying to make Harold look semi decent. Supercharger stuff to come as soon as some boxes arrive

Supercharger? As in.... on the Neon? How soon might these boxes arrive? That sounds like a very intriguing process. Wasn't there a guy that had one on at Carlisle last year? If I recall, his was more for talk than anything, I might remember him saying it ran like 3 or 4 pounds.

6sic6 is his name on neons.org, his car is okay just a lesson in how not to supercharge a 1gn, lots of unnecessary complication and poor engineering decisions. That being said props to him for having a supercharged 1gn while mine is currently some calculations and half finished cad drawings.

The boxes will be here soon enough :D

are you going with a roots style or centrifugal?

Roots with consideration for going to a Lysholm if I get to far past the ability of the M45, the M62 isnt all that much better and the M90 is way too heavy seeing as its going to be hanging off the front of the car. To really be able to hang with the huge names involved with this TT stuff everything has to be perfect.

This might be a dumb question, but by "hanging off the front of the car" do you just mean forward of the axle, or literally, off the front bumper? (which would lead me to wonder if there were better ways)

No where the ac compressor mounted, its at the very front of the engine, thankfully its on the passenger side so it will offset my fat ass a little :lol:

Hmm I think 2900 will not be enough to bring that thing back to something that you can call "Neon"...

Anybody else thinking about what that box can be used for?

That's right, the extremely super mega poor man's blow up doll! Oh yeah!
