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

Your story reminds me, I really don't know what these wrenches are for. I know they are for tight spaces, but I can't think of a time where I've wanted one.

Leave the center dash one stock, might not be able to hook it up. Pioneer sub and head unit, pioneer mono amp for sub? 

I currently don't have my center dash speaker, and its $70 for a single oem replacement. 

 

Would I be able to do that all within the stock housing? Don't want a box and everything because I want to be able to camp out in the Saab if need be for some reason

is the stock sub a standard size, like 8, 10, or 12 inches? you might be able to stick an aftermarket sub in the stock housing, or if space is an issue, i say try an under-the-seat shallow enclosure.

The only times I have been to California (San Deigo and L.A.) have been during the early spring and fall, even then it was high 70s. I just don't get how people enjoy that kind of weather.  

ok high 70s is kinda uncomfortable, but really high 60s to mid 70s is perfect weather. it just feels great really. you don't feel too hot, you don't feel cold.

Chances are its not mounted standard size. At least in the Tahoes and Burbans if you're putting something in the factory spot you have to buy an aftermarket box thing that takes up the same spot and it gets expensive quick.

damn. i thought it would be like a standard sized subwoofer, not including the factory box.

You would. It took me at least 14 years to get used to working outside in the 98 degree 90% humidity weather during the summer for longer than 20 minutes...

@RevoltTrain I want to experience super low negative temps, having to shovel snow to get your car out the driveway, and all that nonsense. 

 

Ive literally never ever had to do that. So I just feel like it's something to put on the bucketlist lol

cons: shoveling driveway

 

pros: slow motion drifting

hey, rain works just as well as snow for drifting without absolutely roasting your tires ;) but i kinda want it to snow here tbh. then i can slide any car i want really.

no it doesn't. In mexico it doesnt get enough grip to spin it around when it rains. In the snow, its just right.

 

Of course, more power would help too

ok, but it's probably easier on your tires because there's less friction, so technically it's easier to slide than dry roads, but snow still works best.

because i can replenish stacks of clothing quickly and i can keep the stacks neatly in an efficient manner. Plus, whenever a customer asks for assistance, i try to accomplish their requests as quickly and accurately as humanly possible.

 

 

did i try too hard?

Same. The thing is, the only Stagea spotted in Portugal had an R35 front end... And had UK plates... And importing cars to here is currently pretty hard, lots of taxes to pay. But, the EU has said that it's illegal for the government to make us pay that much to import cars. Lmao. Which makes something even worse, not gonna mention it, don't feel like rambling (more lmao) atm
