So, every time you put your foot down in that thing to you scream out "WWWEEEEEEeeeeee" or just think it?
In all seriousness, do you find your car feeling slower to YOU personally with time? As in, do you get used to the speed/power and find yourself always wanting and needing more?
I ask because this is a feeling I get with all powerful cars I've owned. They start to feel, slow?, to me but every time people get in its a thrill and a rush for them.
Great numbers. Hows the drivability... do you daily drive/weekend... I really am looking to upgrade but I don't want to always be having to fix minor stuff you know what I mean. I know that's the price you gotta pay to play I don't want to keep fixing things.

These cars run like the blower came from the factory. Ive got 30000km on mine and daily it. Had to replace some pulleys and idlers recently.
Congratulations that's very fast. great time n trap.
Thanks mate.

I do find it slower on the street but that could be because I don't give it on the road, you can't. It just frys tyres everytime you try and open it up. That is why I choose to race, it brings that thrill and rush back.

I am a bit cautious on blowing something internally. No reduction. Not sure how much difference taking out some headrests and floor mats will do on an 1800kg car. Even still have the original steel bonnet.

Are you going to give the 60mm pulley a go?
Thanks mate, sure is moving. I am actually a little disappointed tbh. I thought it would go quicker with better rubber. I think the heat wasn't on our side. I am a little worried about going 60mm, don't know how much more stress the stock internals can take. I am going to put it on the market and try and sell it, if I can't in a few months ill go back in our winter when the weather is more favourable and see what it does on a cold night.

What Merc said. These cars feel like they came from the factory with the blower. Very smooth and refined. Driving it daily like a granny and you wouldnt know what it was capable of.
The car is my daily and touch wood I have never had anything to fix. I have had a blower on my car for 2 years + with probably 25,000km on it and not an issue. Jump in, and drive. I empty the oil/air separator once a month, change the oil occasionally and fill it up with fuel.
I know some people have had issues with supercharged cars, but I believe all the original issues have been ironed out. Take car of it, maintain it, don't bounce off the limiter or keep it there for a long time and you will not have an issue.
