The clutched variation ?? or is this a standard pully ???
Supercharging the 1.8L and 2012 Cruze LS restoration
So welcome to my build log, this is sort of a build log slash restoration log, I'll make a list of things I want to do and things I've done. My goal is to restore this car as I can with better upgraded parts and eventually install a supercharger. I'm open to any and every comment or suggestions! I also want to thank all my sponsors, I really appreciate the support!
