Funny to see all the ricers calling each other ricers. Believe it or not though there was a local company here (off Schertz PKWY)years ago that had an electric supercharger that actually worked very well. It was a black Civic coupe that was fugly but they brought it out to the track and it ran low 14's high 13's in the quarter but it was a complicated mess and teh kit was super expensive and heavy as ****.

It just wasn't cost effective considering you could get a Greddy TK or JRSC for way cheaper. I always appreciated the ingenuity though.

I think this is a repost. However, it is still funny as hell. The kid installed the electric turbo backwards and swears it's on right lol. So much fail ftw.

Mike + John + Vin =
