Well it has been an interesting start to a new year. The good news is a few upgrades will soon be on the way, the downside is why the upgrades are happening.

A couple days ago, driving down the freeway my supercharger decided it wanted to make a nice loud squeal noise and start to emit white smoke. Quickly pulled off and killed the car, towed it back to the shop and we started to inspect it and SC fluid was all over the place and the rotrex unit was black (photo below). We imagine there must have been a leak in a line carrying all the SC fluid, dumped the fluid, and the rest is history.

So trying to turn a negative into a positive the car is going to be making the switch to e85 along with a new rotrex supercharger!
