I shake my head at a variety modifications, sometimes even my own.

But I especially dislike fake, stick-on vents, commonly seen placed along front fenders like so.

Swooping, batmobile-like lower bumper replacements. x2 if they include massive round "fog" lights. Terrible.

Anything "slammed." I do like when I see people bouncing off the roof after going over bumps though. Is funny.

Those stickon vent/intake/chrome things are the WORST as already stated.

Kamm-tail-additions.

For what purpose? If bikes, yes. Put a tow hitch on and have that kind. I hate them for the MPG loss. Every time I see a Prius with a roof rack whether used or not used I feel the strongest desire to punch the owner.

I also shake my head every time j1nNju1c3 won't sell his SE37 to me :(

First supercharged ge8 in usa! Video pics
I've finally done it. I got bored of turbo so I went for the next best thing. See the incredible awesomeness of a supercharged ge8:

WATCH HERE! Includes a walk-around followed by a test run. You really need sound to appreciate it

Warning: people may seem more excited than they really are.

***http://img148.imageshack.us/i/file20707.mp4 < test run

Did your mind explode... ?

Here's a 0-60 run:

***ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting<0-60

Please note that the ambient atomospheric pressure that day was reading 14.3 psi by the map sensor. You can see this when I do my pull without the blower. All of my pulls that night without the blower were recording 14.3 psi also. Even on my normal ideal SRI 14.3 psi. So boost indeed it was.

Did you watch it?

Stop that, spoilers are down here, watch it first, it's worth it!

It all started a few nights ago when I did this:

The tow hook holds the whole thing up.
That license plate on the front isn't even valid, but it keeps the police away. Maybe it'll come in handy one day.

Trigger is just a faux slipknot:



This way I don't have to drive around with it at full throttle. Just pull the cord to go full throtle, let it go to go back to idle.



just close the hood enought to catch on the safety latch. If I had more ducting I could have run it through the foglight void.



Thank you craftsman for your support in my quest to make .5 psi of boost and to shave .3 off my 0-60.

Soundz like one of those stories when a person asks his doctor what should a friend of mine take for herpes... but you won't give the doc the name of the person because you know the medicine would be for guess who?

I think I found one of his old homework assignments:


I was wondering what happened to that guy.

But seriously, is that shit for real? I want to start a pool on what will fail first.
