Not saying this is you but businesses get massive amounts of BS emails from dreamers and time wasters looking for free information. If you really want to know something the most reliable way to get it is to pick up the phone.

Thats just part of business, I don't know what supercharging costs so I ask. If I think it's a good price I buy it, if not I say no thanks. Thats not being a dreamer or a time waster, thats making an inquiry. I have been in business and yes it can be very frustrating, for every 5 quotes you do you would be lucky to get 1 job. But if you don't do any quotes you get no jobs.

Of course if the price was on their website they could at least eliminate emails regarding that. :wink:

Im just a guy with a welder and a shed and I at LEAST half an hour a day answering questions like this.

As a full time legitimate business I couldnt answer them.

To think it all started with "how much". A simple question I thought :lol:

FYI Michael has replied to my email advising me to call him. Which I will do when I get back from NZ.

Neil, what are your thoughts after having a few days to get used to the supercharger.

The car has performed flawlessly so far and I can't wipe the smile off. It is generally a much much better sports car now, in terms of performance, sound and overall drivability. I will be getting a new clutch and rubber soon, then hitting the track to see what time it's capable of. But until then I have to watch that right foot of mine :) Looking forward to the weekend!

I also gave a quick impression of Tim's car on page 3 of this thread.

Guy and I took the SC for a little squirt. We loved it :)
I had to take it easy around the bends as the road was quite wet and my old tyres were spinning in 1st, 2nd and sometimes 3rd!

Just spent the afternoon trying to work out the best price I can get for my kids, how I can sell a kidney or how I can win lotto this week. MAN that was a blast.... it seriously hauls. IF I had money, it would be first on my list. I was in Neil's car in Gosford today next to a V8 Statesman thinking "I'm not even going to bother" - if it was a Boxter I would have had a go, I think Neil's car is faster than my old 2.7 was.
