Had the clogged catalytic converters removed yesterday and replaced with mandrel bent pipes. Car is now twice as loud. Some stock rear scuba tank mufflers are going back in once I source some heat shields for them.

wtf am I reading?

After a pair of these. Don't mind if they're a bit bent as long as they can be re-straightened.

would agree on the decpetively quick, heaps of tourque that gets you moving from very low down the rev range, compared to a M3 or a turbo car that has nothing down low and then all of a sudden comes on the power and back in the seat you go. Comparing to my mates Lancer Evo, and another mates S15 Silvia, both of those cars are 2L DOHC Turbos at around 1200kg, my beast at just under 1900kg, and Im easily a few car lengths in front before they come on the power and then pass me doing about 100km/h or so. But they have no low down torque, but a lot more power. funny how it all works

Saw a brand new black m3 driven by an Asian dude today. Looks awesome, rear guards are huge. I actually cried when I saw it 10 mins later at the gas station and he filled it up.... With 91 octane.

Replaced the fuel filters this arvo and the difference was night and day. Idle improved, fuel consumption improved and the smell of unburnt fuel seems to be less. Didn't get a chance to drive it for long but it definitely seemed significantly better.

Seems a worthwhile project to tinker with and give yourself a better understanding. I don't have any experience bolting superchargers to anything but being the resourceful type (ie: cheap) I've had bits and pieces fab'd up from templates I've made for multiple other uses - That part can't be too hard, grab your ruler and drill and fab up something sketchy that'll have it sitting in the right place. I've used odd scrap laying around in the past - bits of 4-5mm acrylic/polycarb, Plywood, thin gauge steel, nuts/bolts/washers to get things mounted right, and taken all measurements from my rudimentary mount and designed in Adobe Illustrator for laser cutting/water cutting in ali/plywood or whatever I'd needed. The clutched drive sounds interesting. I've always been fond of that Scene in MadMax when Gibson pulls the trigger on the B&M shifter to engage the charger on the XB Interceptor..

Hookers and booze.
