Hehe yeah i added that about a month ago.
Gonna help the 'sleeper' look of it once the supercharger is all set up properly.
I'm thinking of getting some whitewall tyres too... just to be that little bit more wanky

good thing you lost the jun bl then if your trying to have the sleeper look. When you do the s/c conversion you might want to have a decent sized exhaust but paint it black and make it end about 1ft from the end of the car then weld a crappy 1/2" tailpipe onto it.

The pipe is 1 3/4 inch.
Not exactly SMALL but not too big as to lose the power.
Needs a certain amount of backpressure in the system (NA) and 1 3/4 is said to be the best size for performance.

Incorrect.
The carburettor is setup in a 'suck-through' system.
