The F20C is over 4 inches taller though!

Looks fantastic, sc should help a lot you maybe surprised it suits the character and delivery well, that vx220 will be toast once you fit that based on the above video.

Thanks

The linearity of the torque is the reason I went for a centrifugal charger, I absolutely wanted to retain the same delivery and ethos with the car. I don't expect to have issues putting the power down, but with a turbo or LSx conversion I would really be struggling to drive it really hard.

Last time out at Cadwell we were a good 2 seconds quicker than when we chased the VX220 so I think with the charger it would be an ever shrinking spec in the mirror! Those pesky R500s and GT3 RS' however....

Ohh nice car, F20c and an mx5 would be an epic combo! Should be a demon once supercharged! I had the first set of 949racing wheels in the UK on my mx5 a few years ago.. until I crashed it!
