Well, after a few hours DIY this afternoon i've got a 15% smaller supercharger pulley fitted and it's made such a difference! Noise and grunt are sooooo much better - whiiiiiiiiiining everywhere....

Wasn't really too difficult either - getting the belts on and off was a bit fiddly but the rest was relatively simple as I had borrowed and made the correct tools for the job. All in all the whole thing cost me £65 for the pulley, £15odd for the belt and £20 for the hire of the pulley tool from Hugo. £100 all in for about 30bhp increase in power.....

Cheers guys - I was shocked - busy talking to my wee boy when Mark and Darren shouted at me. Didn't realise I'd won at all! :lol:

Nice wee trophy it was too!

And I won a keyring in the raffle :1icon_colors: - great day once the sun came out and a great spot for a show. I'll lash up some pictures at some point.
