The Clown is Back: Progress thread

I'd be interested to hear your take on a centrifugal supercharger. It certainly would be much easier to install than the ESS TS2

To be honest I'm not the most technical/automotive/science savvy dude. I had a 1998 VW GTI VR6 with a stg3 VF supercharger setup years ago and it was an amazing car. Great boost at 8-9psi, sounded wicked at WOT or idling, and got me a few speeding tickets. To me, I know VF. They've been around and are tried and true. I'm not super familiar with ESS but obviously they put out a product people like. The VF setup allows for easier maintenance and intall in my opinion. Aesthetically, it looks nicer to me and it definitely sounds better. Kinda let's people know something is going on under there if they know anything about cars.

I like this picture the best Jacob!

mmm boost.

I've hand waxed this car probably 3 times since I got it. Today, I went to my long time friends house and he walked me through the updated/modern ways of detailing a car. Products used:

Griots foaming wash
Auto scrub fine grade sponge
Sonax fallout cleaner
Sonax perfect finish
Menzerna heavy cut compound
Auto Finesse paint prep
Sonax carnuba wax


Three shots of the in progress and a shot of the hood. Man did my paint come back. Doing all of this in preparation for a show in Louisville KY called Eurodistrict. Haven't been to a euro show in a few years so it was a good excuse to clean the car up. Plus my younger siblings live in Louisville as well. I'll post a few pics up of the finished product from the show this weekend.
