---- that if i could get a hold of a car that runs for 100 dollars i would put a 50 shot on it, drink a 20 pack of bud, and go offroading and if it got stuck id just piss on it and set it on fire.

thats what I was going to do but I went and drove it and the fucker is a great car. It gets a second gear scratch. Whats up with that. But then I figured why not put this leafblower thing on it and if it doesn't work then I can go get drunk, drive it off a cliff and then piss on it. Might even take a camara with me. I was also thinking about a third blower. mabey :-\

Maybe with two going at the same time you could get a couple pounds of boost but I doubt it.
Is this an electric or gas blower? If it electric you are going to need a long extension cord. If its gas what are you going to do, run the pull cord into the car and pull start it at stop lights before a race? Sounds like a pain in the ass to me for no good reason.


That woiuld be funny as hell to see someone pull up to you at a light and you get out of the car pop the hood and try ot pull start 2 blowers !! LMAO!!! just immagine what the other person thinks!!!

What motor is in that poor bastard? I might need parts after you run too much boost through those leaf blowers. You should consider doing the ultimate staged setup- use the corolla motor to turbo the blowers and the blowers to pressurize the corolla.

Do you understand that they are made out of plastic. They would melt. I haven't yet checked to see what the motor is but it runs good. The car is a little two door hatch. The back window looks like the 86 honda civic hatch back window. I think the only cool thing about htis car is that on the hood it is raised on one side. like a reverse hoodscoop without the scoop. :o
