    Funny thing is, I WAS playing in traffic, and the police requested I post crap on these boards instead.

    I can't win.....

    I apologize in advance if this looks a little rushed; I'm typing this on my iphone, running back and forth across US 41, dodging rush hour traffic. A Miata just ran over my foot, but I think I'm ok.


    The Kotex SC is cheap, but remember, it must be replaced monthly, or you risk TSS (Toxic Supercharger Syndrome). It's easy to change though, just pull on the string, it pops right out. And it comes with a handy gentle glide applicator, which really makes replacement easy!

    But the nice thing is it comes in light, medium, or heavy duty, depending on application.

    You can find them pretty much at any convienent store, usually between the automotive and hygiene isles.

    Damnit, gotta run, just got clipped by a Hummer, that's going to be a trip to the ER...

    Because mine was only a trial version; I had to return it--I want to get in on a group buy!

    Besides, your sig says it all. You could have had this baby for just a fraction more than your Rotrex. I detect sour grapes....

    Just be glad you didn't get the Kotex SC. It has to be changed once per month.

    Oh yeah, and what day is today?

    Can I get mine with red accents? They're faster than the blue ones.:D

    You can get any color accents you want!

    All colors, (except for red), are available for an extra 90 bucks. Because red is faster, those cost $125.

    BTW, that gauge on the top is a special gauge never before seen. Better quality than AEM, that's for sure. It's a "Boost Shunt" Gauge (BS gauge for short). I think it could come in real handy!

    This is a car board, take your childish stupidity and go play in traffic instead of posting crap on the boards.

    LMAO!

    Like Nate said, it was an April fools joke, most got it, some didn't....

    I kind of saw what was coming on the whore-izon with the new supercharger, thought I'd make an April Fool's joke, and at the same time try to diffuse what I suspected was going to become another contentious showdown over forced induction, maybe get it lighthearted before the ever predictable rock slinging occurred, both here and on NAM. Didn't work, but what the hell,it was worth a try...

    Fairly certain cct1 has proved himself to anything but stupid, and having him play in traffic would certainly be a loss to the forums.

    LOL

    As for the super pump, ive already got more then i can handle... :ihih:

    Sorry for the noob question, but where can I get one of those Kotex superchargers? I want my car to go faster so I can drive flat out at the track. But I want something that will also give me good fuel economy, and those other superchargers are too expensive.

    Sounds like someone in this thread is suffering from TSS. Probably time for a Kotex upgrade. Zing.




    Alternatively, I was going to do a pretend rant about how this is a car messageboard and we deal with serious internet business. We are above childish antics on April 1st and for you to sully it with your stupid jokes is just a travesty. I am a very important person. Car messageboards are the pinnacle of class and seriousness. I drive a Dodge Stratus. Now, let us have a serious adult discussion about how much we hate common people with their shallow, disgusting sense of humor.
