I was looking at the site below for a supercharger conversion for the Subaru & noticed they do centrifugal kits for bikes....

Imagine getting it wrong fitted a DIY turbo on a bike, boost coming in on a corner when on the limits already. Shit me that's a health and safety hazard right there.

Mk5 Golf
E46 M3
Current 5 GTT (Mongrel)
Current Seat Leon daily shit wagon
Current Golf 2.0 FSI
Really not sure what to do next, as I get older I find myself more attracted to older turbo cars but mainly jap stuff. I'm thinking I may import something mental like R32 or R34. I quite like certain JZX110s and even RX7s.
The more sensible me is considering C63AMG or E92 M3. (Luckily new role comes with a petrol card) Although I know you can't class 6.3 AMG as sensible.
Regardless I'll always keep my 5 as a toy/project. There is still a lot id like to do with it and also made aware on a daily basis that the Mrs wants a new house by next Summer.

I fitted 25hp of NOS to a CBR a good few years ago. I asked the guy "which gear can you full throttle it and keep the front end down" he said 5th, I said "good F##king luck!"

I'm not going to list my full history as 1)I cant be arsed and 2)I dont have the time. It's about a hundred or so, mostly Renault but some other shite in there too.
I'm happy with my current fleet, 21 Quadra, 9 Turbo, RS Clio 172, RS Clio V6 and Volvo S60.
Future changes - well. I see a Megane R26 in my future somewhere. And maybe a new daily smoker to replace Frank the Tank next year. Big resto's on the 9 and 21 too.
Thats about it

Compared to you lot I have a boring and short history of cars. I'm only counting the ones I've actually driven as I've bought a few for spares..
Old:
19 16v Chamade, -92 Black
19 16v Chamade, -92 Blue
21 Turbo Quadra, -92 Black
19 16v saloon, -93 Blue
Current:
Megane Grandtour GT dCI165, -14 (Boring safe family car)
19 16v Karmann cabriolet, -92 Black
Future:
Rebuild the engine for the blue -92 21 turbo quadra that sits in the garage.
I need to have something with lots of cylinders some time in the distant future. Probably a V8 Ferrari. Very distant future..
