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

Only car that I have ever owned that I truly missMX5.thumb.jpg.76a3aacb9be17c60ef6efdeaa18b9802.jpg

Yep this is why I’ve decided to never sell mine.

 

its like all the older guys who miss their triumph’s and MG’s and now they are a bit harder to get or require a lot of work.
 

so I just fix every little thing on mine and keep it. Just hopefully no one crashes into me lol

I had to sell it when my first kid was about to arrive, apparently it wasn't a family car according to my wife. I had no place to have it so it had to go.

I think your wife is right, even I feel like I need 2 cars and can't only have a miata. it's more of a toy, though it worked well as a commuter in college. My other car is a 4 door civic (for now)


By the way guys the $2k civic actually made it to it's registration renewal(2years). Never thought it would get that far lol

Two different Toyota with two different bent steel wheels. This 17 Camry wheel is just way out. Inner lip of the rim has like 1/8th inch runout and the balancer is asking for 3.5oz.
