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
Nope, maintenance is pretty much the same - covered 4000 miles since the conversion and no problems (yet) ha.

Thank you for all of the kind words smile

Oh and I also have been meaning to fit a front strut brace to it...haven't got around to it yet! Should make a difference - not that handling has been a problem!

What a great, little B-road blaster! Good work OP!

TTS seem to be doing some really good quality supercharger conversions!

I like reading about stuff like this. A great little car that must be an absolute hoot to drive.

Tracked it? I'm sure that will be a laugh! I want some in car footage anyway.

Bet you surprise a few people with that?

Are there forged internals avaliable for this engine? They much only be 3/4 the price of a 4 cylinder set! smile

Hello - have been busy lately!

Car is in for a service and MOT at the moment. Will update the thread shortly - and add a video soon hopefully!

I really doubt that there are forged internals for the engine on this. Worth a look into possibly but unlikely...!

GLWS. I would love to buy it!

Judging by your swaps in the advert I would recommend a Hawkeye WRX Wagon smile

Shame you have to sell, but I'm another who would love to buy it. What a fun car this must be. Love it.

Would be a cracking car to strip out and turn into a track day machine. smile

Changed my mind about selling. Decided to keep it.

Minor update, i've had a couple of rear bearings fitted (has made a MASSIVE difference to the ride as they were completely knackered) and I have a new set of wheels to be fitted next week - they look much better than the Yaris ones, and they're a bit smaller. smile
