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

I seriously can't believe that I really want to look for a 1997 Toyota Previa.

Guess I'm adding that to the list of cars that I might buy in the future.

Lmfao that was my mums car

But did you get any offers of swaps for a 360 and a pair of used condoms for it?

£3.50 and a twix m8

Funny enough, one of my aunts owned a Previa. It was a later year model (in America, it was marketed for the 1991-1997 model years; we got the Sienna starting in 1998) that I'm pretty sure was supercharged and had the AWD system.

Apparently it was wrecked by one of the aunt's daughters. Sucks because I would've LOVED to buy that one.

Did better than I expected for my first time

They dont have a full 1/4 mile track? That sucks.  Nevermind ET is End time. Derp.

 

Only ever went to a drag strip once (a few months after I bought the car) I ran about the same times (14.2-14.5)

I'm narrowing down the choices for the next car I'd want and welp, it's the most me list that I could think of.

Kia Spectra5

Mazda Protege5

2001-2006 Mazda MPV

Plymouth Voyager or Grand Voyager

Plymouth Neon

2000 Chevrolet Venture Warner Bros. Edition or Oldsmobile Silhouette Premiere

I'd get the Protege. Are there any specific things you're looking for in a car?

Those were the days.

The leylands I liked back then was the Mini GT, MGB GT and the Dolomite Sprint.

 

I consider my Subaru BRZ to be the modern version of the MGB GT.

I learned the Caprice PPVs are rated at a 13.6 ET in the quarter. I feel like proper tires and a Camaro diff swap would be able to maybe get it into the 12s

 

(Caprice has a 2.91 rear gear, a 5th Gen Camaro diff bolts right in, could either go with a 3.27 or a 3.45 diff swap)

Frankly, I just want something comfortable enough for me and whatever I'd need if I needed it to move things.

And for some reason either 5 door hatchbacks or minivans are appealing to me.

I reckon with an LSD itd run in the 13s

It was beating my mates 330hp FK2 until 2/3rds down the strip. It gets off the line alright but it needs more power up the top really. Should be sorted once I start working at Jag and can afford to sort her a Kpro ECU

Needs money for car parts :P

Mazda Protege5 sounds like the best option imo .... but look out for rust ... they love to rust... at least in places that have some other kind of weather than dry and hot

Thought I'd take a little test ride on the bike, the snow is gone and the sun is out. A nice 15c in the air too with no wind. 

 

Took one look at the road outside the house and gave up my dreams, it's covered in tiny gravel that makes you slide :(

 

Hope they come clean it up and that we get another nice day like this soon so I can do a shakedown before inspection at least

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

That's why they tell people not to run bonnet bras either :( Depends how bad it is behind the window seal...

being the truck has a new frame... it's probably worth fixing  with new metal if I'm honest as much work as it would be...
