Yes

They are centrifugal superchargers - the casings look alot like turbos but
they are belt driven.

Pretty massive car that my friend Thordur has, a true monster.

And one from when I installed the UUC lightweight flywheel:

It sounds a bit different now with the superchargers & BOV,
need to make a new soundsample file

Oh my God! That exhaust sound is insane!

can you start without actually burning the clutch or the tires?

As Bjarni(bjahja) has said.... be careful what you promise. Beer is crazy
expensive over here

Launching the car is difficult because of all the torque, almost on/off clutch
and low profile tires (19").

Atleast 10$ here too!

what does the police say about that? here you probably would lost your license as soon as those wheels slips!

Restrict speeding to the track:

**Blue Thunder** · 07-14-2008, 10:03 AM

Just got some new rear tires and decided to scrub them before
street use....

**UnderPAR** · 07-14-2008, 10:39 AM

OMG

I bet you go through rear tires faster than a tank of gas..which is hard to believe

**speedminded** · 07-14-2008, 11:20 AM

ah, I remember seeing this car when I was researching the movit brake kit a couple years ago. I love the throttle response/sound with the lightened flywheel!

**5mall5nail5** · 07-14-2008, 11:31 AM

should have gone with exhaust driven compressors

Still can...and keep the superchargers

nah no point - cf blowers achieve maximum displacement at redline, and have no boost early on. Any decent size turbo (or even slightly small) for that application would easily outflow the supercharger that would be in the way!

**AlpineCI** · 07-14-2008, 12:00 PM

beautiful car man...

what kind of power are you putting down with that monster? i bet hearing that car start makes other ppl want to back off from having a go with you haha

You obviously haven´t driven this car

It already has more low down power than I can use - doesn´t need any
more.

Also - as far as I know there are no cars running with a working S62
turbo setup, only SCd.

AlpineCI - The car is putting out 600+ hp and 700+ Nm.
