barneybrendan Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 They look awesome mate, can't wait to get mine it does look good ,will be better with the skirts Hey Barney, I have my M90 here doing not a lot and was just waiting to get the time to remove the bracket from the block of my red car before sticking them both in the for sale section. It did suffer a snapped shaft that I then repaired by having a custom coupler machined up for it, but if your snout is in tact you may be able to hybridise? I believe it is in good nick and I replaced the coupler and seals from a kit a bought from the states. have sent you pm shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth does this work? Does not look like many moving parts inside there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 There are only two main moving parts inside. Here's a Mercedes SL55 AMG one with innards removed that's for sale (Thanks Barney). http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/C55-E55-S55-SL55-CL55-CLS55-CLK55-AMG-SUPERCHARGER-/290552698110?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43a64a54fe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barneybrendan Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 fitted the charger today only to find it is knackerd.rattling like mad and make a terrible clunk when the engine is shut off.Plus the car was running like a bag of crap.Would the map of been lost on the emu due to there being no battery in the car for a fiew weeks.Just about had enough of the thing now.Wont get any joy from the seller now as i won it on the 31'st of march,dont even think ebay will do anything now either.

bradleyh_15 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Not good mate! Chin up! If I were you I would at least contact the seller and eBay just in case! If no luck I agree with Jamie P and go v8 and sell what you don't need to fund it! Good luck with what you decide though mate you deserve some better luck!
