That bodykit is one of the poorest fitted I've ever seen :? Notice they didnt mention anything about sorting the s/c turbo transition either.

1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time

Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Why does it say "de-supercharged" in the fast facts?

Coz he blew up the first engine while it was twin-charged. He binned the supercharger in the second build, chose a smaller turbo, and was going to twin-charge another 4A after he had it bored out to 1800cc etc. Article doesn't say if he ever got around to finishing the second twin charged motor.

Well spotted. When I saw it was twin charged I assumed it was still sc'd. You know what they say about assuming though.

I'll have a read of it when I'm not at work "working".
