Default C3 blower pics please!

I'm starting a collection. Big632, Norval, Merlin (sorry you two for including Merlin in your class) all have cool setups that rotate through my wallpaper; I hope that some day TwinTurbo will grace us with an update of his project. Anyone running a blown C3 please post some pics for us to drool over!

Don't have updates myself, I'm lacking parts...especially those to set up my rear bearings ...the customs have had the package for 2 weeks now...ready to kill someone over there, this is rediculous.I bet they have my autometer gauges also.

Have you guys seen what happened to it? complete cage, backhalved, revised intake with a hige intercooler on the pass side and the ducting running through the firewall, up in front of the window? It's a race only car now...kind of a shame if you ask me.

I agree. A lot of the hard work Monty went through was to make sure that car would be streetable. IMO, it's a lot harder to make a very powerful streetable and stock appearing car than it is to make a very powerful all out race car. I think that's the part Monty took as the challenge.

The engine is basically the same apart from the induction....
I think they are running larger turbos now.
