Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Sadly Volvo didn't paint the centre of the underside bonnet:

I have to go home next week, dreading it.

Silver lining is that I'll have time to work on the mini I guess.

I bought a turbo for it already and was planning on that into a single glasspack but now I'm thinking about supercharging it instead and wondering what that will change in the exhaust department. Will a straight pipe to glasspack provide enough back pressure or do supercharged systems need the same amount of back pressure as N/A engines?

I've got the Corky Bell book if you want to borrow it?

I've got the Corky Bell book if you love conjecture and want to be left more confused than before you started reading

Looks like a giant turbocharged zit.

Nice number plate on the turd, are you on the E30zone?

3.0 JPS must have been fun in the wet, I had mine nine years it was a stage three 2.0 GT [David Vizard book] last two years with a re jetted granada V6 carb :D

If you don't want your number plate on here then you should go back and look at the others you've posted recently.

Very shiny.

I didn't blur it, Jim the chap who cleaned it did - he's posted it on a Volvo forum and was taking care not to expose it, I don't really mind.

Here's some (horrifying) before and (much nicer) after if anyone is interested:

You prob should park the ovlov in the garage and leave the Porsche outside
