I had a bug eyed Sprite once. Had a Judson Supercharger on it. Used
to blow the head gasket about twice a week if I remember right, but
a great little car and had lots of fun with it.


Very cool! The blower probably got it up to over 60 hp! Wheehaw!

I saw an article on someone who was running one of those at about 150
BHP recently. Can you imagine? It had suspension and brake upgrades
as well.

Some of these car guys have performed miracles with their cars. It's
uncanny the money and effort that goes into some of their projects.
I must have been born without the car gene. I think for me it was
airplanes from about age 6 on. Now THERE'S a way to save money!!!!

True, I like pretty much anything that goes, though"
