The guy does seem like a scumball, but honestly, I wonder about this
kit...I haven't seen anyone else selling it, nor have I heard of it
before...but why would he crack up a car to try and sell a kit that
didn't exist?  He sells these, supposedly.  Maybe he had a kit on his
own car, or a customer did, and they got into an accident?  It's
pretty tough to tell from all the photos, including whether the
supercharger is actually -installed- or just sitting there
pretty-like on top of the engine in the blurry "close up" shot.  Belt
isn't connected, but other than that, I don't know enough about the
layout to judge.

Why is it so unbelievable that there would actually be a blower kit
for the 12v?  Sure would make it a hell of a lot more interesting, if
you didn't blow the tranny in the first 10 miles :-)
