It must bucket fuel in??

(Out of interest). This weekend full to empty I got 296miles to 'beep' out of my C1. What would you get??
MPG is the same (obviously if you thrash it it'll drop a lot)

Excellent!

Install looks top notch, the kit looks great.

However, as much as I salute your lunacy, and don't want to be the naysayer on such an awesome little project, I can't help but think that the power claims are a little optimistic. Over double stock power from a supercharger kit just seems a little generous. Did they dyno the car on their rollers beforehand as well?

Like I say, I think it's ace, and I personally wouldn't care what it was putting out as I suspect it drives brilliantly, smile
I've used a TTS Rotrex supercharger kit and it doubled the bhp on my car.

^ Will be going to more meets at a later date...very busy at the moment!

Hopefully will get the car finished up by the new year, it's mainly just the fitting of the new seats and a couple of other bits to be fixed - covered 1400 miles since getting it back and has been great. smile

Well the car is 99% finished now.

New clutch fitted
Fitting of Sparco seats
Rear seats retrimmed in matching Sparco material
Rear arches folded to prevent wheel rubbing.
And a general clean.











All works carried out by Fullbridge Restoration smile

Fantastic. I approve.

Quite a serious amount of investment must have gone into it, though.

125 bhp to 210 bhp on my 106 Rallye. There's a blog on here somewhere. That car was a hoot, imagine this is fantastic fun.

Indeed! Covered 2700 miles since having the car supercharged - very engaging and enjoyable. I feel it has been worth it. smile

Updated the OP with the spec and finished pictures. smile

Awesome Aygo! I have a Citroen C1 so I have really enjoyed reading about your project. I was just wondering what it's like to live with day to day and whether it has needed any extra maintenance to keep the charger running correctly?

All the best with the car
