Default Supercharged C4S picsb

Finally posted pics of the car, but had to use another webb site because the pictures were too big to fit (1.64mb). This is my first attempt to post pictures and I must say it wasn't easy. My son did all the work. SC is still running strong and the increase in milage is still amazing considering the right foot is so much heavier.

Just click on the link.

Will.

Man, a blown C4S in a state with no speed limit. I'm jealous, or is that Montana....

With good eyesight and my V1 it's almost as good as Montana. No problem hitting 150 now and then, but you didn't here it from me. Will

Just as a note that those aren't the Fikse FM5. Those are the Fikse Mach5.

The FM5 looks like this:

that's a sweet car will.

one thing i'm wondering: where's the source of outside air for the engine now? is there a new air box in one of the fenders or something?

The cylindrical air filter is far up in the right fender well, and will be very hard to get to for changing. I plan to have the installers do the filter each year with the belt change unless I get brave and try it myself. Will

If you don't mind my asking who did your install and how much did they charge? I've received a couple of quotes to SC my C4S and want to compare.

Thanks!

I had the install at Auto Sport Werks in Broomfield Co near Denver and they kept the cost to 1500 as we agreed but I dont think they would do the same for another C4S. They had to do several modifications to the kit. Talk to Doug. As for the filter location, Im afraid I would need a fiber optic camera to show you a picture, that is how far up into the right fender well it is located. As I said it is going to be a challenge to change it and the belt in a year but as anything else, it just takes time and expertise. The car continues to amaze me, and with our lousy 91 pump gas I got 37mpg at 80 mph on the highway yesterday and coming back with the air on 34mpg. I even checked the odometer on the highway markers to see if it was accurate. Todd should market this SC with Ralph Naders indorsement. Will

i plan to dyno the car with the first belt change and air cleaner but that is a way off. Porsche recommends removal of the front drive shaft for AWD cars which is a hassel and costs 95 more for the dyno. I am going to a DE with quater mile times June 19 in Co Springs but I will try to get GT pro times before then and post results. The CEL is off now and it is running great. Todd said he did another 02 C4S this week and I forgot to ask him if he did a dyno. Maybe he will post it. Will
