    So I picked up a genIII supercharger from the junkyard the other day to do a port and polish on to either...
    A) Put on my bros car as a birthday present (also needs lim job done so it would be done at said time)
    B) Finish the port and polish, paint it (or polish it), and then sell for profit
    Well I was so excited so I started pulling it apart without looking up any certain techniques of how to do so. Well lets just say that the snout came apart from the rotor (screw) assembly and supercharger oil started seeping out (as I didnt just yank it all apart). So as you can imagine I was rather dissapointed... partially because now I got fluid all over but more importantly it did not stink nearly as bad as you whiners (get it? supercharger joke) were making it sound.

    All I ever hear about the fluid is oh its the worst smell ever and blah blah blah. You want a bad car smell? Try 150,000 mile (or for that matter) brand new differential fluid....that stuff is nasty, not puke your guts out nasty but still gross. So seriously whats all the complaining about? I didnt even flinch at the smell so I wanna know what you yahoos think is so bad about it?

    End rant....

    Yeah if it didn't stink like burnt differential fluid mixed with rotten dog **** then it might have been either fresh fluid or not the right fluid.

    It was definitely not fresh fluid, but this morning I went out to my car and some how the smell made it in there (which is odd since I left the whole assembly in my garage) which is annoying since I'm taking this girl out tomorrow.

    Guess I'll be picking up some black ice today....

    It didn't really bother me either... But then again I work around nasty ass oils all day... You wanna talk about stink, we have some coils that come from Japan that are covered in some nasty ass fish oil... Stinky so bad they had to give us respirators.

    Well bad cats stink too!

    Mine has just been sitting for the past three months anyway so the supercharger oil smell is in my Intrepid with its cloth seats and such. But after a long night of it sitting with black ice air freshners and Auto Expressions Ozium spray, the smell is starting to disappear.
