    Advice and opinions needed

    I thought there was a 2 week rule for insurance claims outside this it's very difficult to prove either way due to possible tampering with the damage. The law states a time limit for making claims check out your policy.. you might be surprised !

    Electric supercharger

    Ha Ha Yes but with one of these the figures that are quoted are pretty good. It will only produce 6.6 Psig of boost for a start so not like turbo boost but it's more useable with no lag so at low down speeds the pick up will be better, so in theory you will get better power from the engine =...
