CTSC Man you are not gonna believe this!!

So you guys remember all the problems I had with the belt and pullies......

So I'm driving on RT9 today getting ready to race a GT when my car
shuts off WTF!?!?!? I push my car on the side of the road and pop my hood.
The supercharger belt is half way off the pullies!!! it's thunder storming
and I have nooooooo tools!! anywho I call a friend he comes over with his
van and we get the belt back on (in the rain ofcourse) so I get in the
car and start it back up and there is this loooooud vacuum sound WTF?!?!?
AFR jumps to 30.somthing so I shut the car off and take off the carbon fiber thing thing
and alllllllll 3 top bolts are missing off the blower!!! are you freaking kidding me!! my mechanic is a guy that does LS/vtec swaps and turbo kits daily!!! how can he forget to tighten the 3 top bolts on my charger!! and also forget to put the M8x70 bolt on the bracket!! sooo now i gotta go home tonight and
take this thing apart an do it myself. The only reason why I didn't install the charger my self was because I had NST pullies on my car and didn't want to go through the trouble of taking them off and putting the fact pullies back on I kinda wish I did do it myself.

Sorry for the rant...just had to share my horror story with you guys.

well I found the bolts laying on the supercharger....so we put them
back on and the leak was gone. I drove it home with no problem
so I'm just gonna go over it myself so I can avoid anymore problems.

Your car breaking is God or fate's response for street racing.
