Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Ok, fuck everyone up and post an engine photo and explain which end is which LOL.

 

Sure thing! 

 

The engine is a 2.1l i4 mounted reversed longitudinal, placing the transmission to the far right in this picture. 

 

It's a front wheel driven car.

Bah. I just installed my oil drain valve...

 

Pro tip: Install the oil drain valve BEFORE installing the skid plate, next time.

 

I'm glad I will (hopefully) never have to take the dang thing off ever again.

How much do one of these things cost in the UK? I've always been surprised at the cost of cars in the UK, they seem pretty cheap.

 

Also, I LOVE the color of the leather in that car, and it seems to be in really great condition too.

That ones advertised for just shy of £18k. 89k miles on it with a full history. They've also got an estoril blue one with black leather for £17k

Brown>Black>=Cream (though I'm a bit biased towards the last one). IMO. 

The blue is nice enough to skew me, though.

Laptop: ThinkPad T580 (i5, iGPU, FHD, 16GB RAM, 256 SSD+1TB HDD). Used with both the regular and extended-run batteries (RIP power bridge).

cream should have never been a color and brown usually just looks like you shit allover your seat 😅

black or white are the best imo

IDK, I really like the cream interiors on my grandfather's '96 Accord and E39. I've also been in s60s with cream-ish interiors and I didn't think they were half bad. 

White can look really cool, but it stains easy. Black is boring IMO, while I think brown keeps a nice and classy look while being a bit more interesting. Just my thoughts, I'd love to own a green car with a brown interior and bronze rims one day lol

And black even if its boring, it just is the best option for keeping a clean looking interior

Can't disagree there, though I'll always love brown interiors.
