The *Other Car

I'm surprised I never posted this little bad boy on here yet. We acquired it over a year ago and the supercharger installation was done by Alpine developments in 2012. It's been trouble free and reliable and gives around 115wkw at RBTS's dyno. Given the weight and the short 6 speed box its quite a nippy little thing. Not quite M3 quick but in many ways more fun to drive in and around town.

Firstly some pics...

Mom and SO been using it almost exclusively and even then maybe once a week hence only doing around 2000kms over the last year and a bit.

Everything works 100% and ive serviced it with shell helix ultra. Changed the fuel lines and the belt as the belt started perishing with age. Also changed the charger fluid which a smaller rotrex boosting 7psi on a cool day. I have spare fluid for it as well.

Where did you get charger fluid from and how much? I have been looking to replace the fluid in the merc's charger while it out. I could only find from agents at a shocking price. If I remember correctly R1500 for 500ml

You could use atf dex 2 but I use rotrax oil from my other charger I had or mobil jet 2 aka jet engine oil. I think they rebrand the mobil jet 2 or are very similar. I get the oil for cheaper at our hangar. 100us per qt.
