I got challenged by a Juke, of all things, heading back from UCD tonight. Wait, I just looked at the picture I snapped with my Droid. That's Mrs. onzedge, that's our Juke. Oops.

Im new at this so forgive me if I dont follow proper etekut. My car is one like Gale Forces. I just had a supercharge kit installed and a nismo front face. It runs good most of the time but even with the oil cooler the oil temp is hitting 235 degrees in normal Houston traffic in the afternoon comming home from work. I am getting worried. Thats just take it easy driving. With the oil that hot there is no margin to really get on it and let the supercharger spool up. Anyway, nice talking to you all.

Yesterday got my car back from the shop after getting a bunch of stuff installed - Berk CBE (special order round extended tips for Nismo), Eibach sways bars, ACT clutch, Fidanza flywheel, and ZSpeed CSC.
The car feels and sounds completely different now, in a very good way! Exhaust note is awesome, takes turns fast with no body roll, and engine revs up super fast. There was some flywheel chatter at idle initially but tonight the chatter mysteriously went away, which is good since that chatter made it sound like there was something wrong with the car.
Starting out from 1st gear feels completely different and will take some practice and getting use to.
Anyway, I am very happy with the results and thanks to Z Car Garage in San Jose for the awesome work!

Hey, that car is noting like mine! I don't have a supercharger or Nismo bumper. kidding.

Sounds like a sweet setup. I would like to see more,

Hey no problem! Welcome to the group! Which supercharger did you go with, and how many rows is your oil cooler?
