lol i may get rid of the supercharger. I sent some pictures to someone who specializes in them to see what he can help me with. As far as the rockers, im just going to peel that stuff off and leave it alone.

Picky bastard with imperfections that face the firewall. grrr.








In other news, if I were an auto, I'd already be M90'd. Just sayin'. I'm rough on manuals in NA form apparently.
