The Red car - needs the engine and gearbox fitting, supercharger fitting and plumbing in as well as electrics and an end to end check to make sure it will stop. Oh yes - I need to fit seats and strip the interior too!

Things in the Pipeline

Well there are things afoot.


The Rapid now has a companion - A friend has just had my spare car and is fitting a supercharger to it. This will mean 2 Skoda Rapid's kicking about, One with a turbo and one with a supercharger.



My Rapid now has a turbo off a Saab 9000 - this is bigger than the Renault 5 one I had and is also in better condition. I have also fitted a throttle body from a 1.8 Freelander that should flow better and more reliably than th

My best time in the quarter is 13.9 at 100 mph. Low 14s are more common. It is still all stock and on street tires.
