Dummy fitted my supercharger kit, worked out perfect. Off to get a warrent on Tuesday then home to fit it up for good. Just waiting on the belt and powercard to arrive from TRACKDOG. Should be up and running in a week or two :D :D :D :D

good idea getting wof before the charger. my wof ran out mid build so i had to wait and wait and wait for the cert plate to be fitted before i could get a wof. even though it passed its cert i HAD to have the plate fitted for wof.

Finally got the car out and onto the road after having been in storage for the past 6 months.

Thoroughly enjoyed blowing out the cob webs

I am going to try to get a WOF without it being complied. There are a few places around that would have no idea what it looks like under the bonnet of a 21 year old MX5
