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

But only 2 doors...

I love the new Golf though

There were 4 door versions in Europe IIRC

 

I like the 2 doors, it sets it off a bit, which is most of the reason I like the R32, you wouldn't think it's quick, but it's pretty damn fast

R32's are pretty fantastic cars. The dsg transmission they have is just amazing. I drove a friends r32 once and i would almost want it over an e46 m3.

Even the slapshift in Preludes isn't bad. But having seen what I have of the R32 and one of my favorite YouTubers owns one (AR12Gaming) I've fallen in love with it. Especially because of it's rarity

Thinking of something to post and remembered my dad and his friend bought a 1939 Buick Specialpost-31395-143138104496.jpg

(example pic)

 

It's not restored, but it's all there. Kind of a weird car with that front end and the suicide doors. It has an inline 8 making a whopping 100 horsies ;P

2008 Golf R32, seriously considering getting one. But, one thing, they're limited to 130MPH electronically. I'm assuming tuning would be the way to get rid of that, correct?

yes just change the onboard computer thing that does everything and you should be good to go

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!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

My 1999 Honda Accord EX V6 3.0L 

 

I know its a Honda but it was free and i love the J30a1, got it in near perfect condition too!

 

Too bad the 6th gen auto tyranny sucks! P2 Manual's have no problems and the swap will cost me less than a rebuild so ill be driving stick soon.

 

Just finished Throttle body spacer and Struts. Mishimoto rad, DC EXH Headers, Spark plugs/wires + distributor, and Invidia full Catback Exhaust are next

 

 

after that? im not sure. maybe just restore the exterior to factory new (replace fogged cracked lights, weather striping that's got dry rot, and paint cuz Honda paint sucks)

 

Any Honda people? (Btw this is the only pic i could find on my phone out of the 8000+. I can get more after some more things come in the mail!)

check insurance first. back when I sold cars, I had one on trade-in. I've lost countless deals on it because customers said their insurance said it would cost more than a corvette to insure. big v6 motor too close to impact points on the car and what not. your mileage may vary, so check - but definitely don't go into a purchase without checking on that car

Are you white? If so your originally from Europe.. It's a bonnet in English. A hood is something I wear on my head attached to a sweater or jacket ;)

Do you see the hood on a vehicle having stupid bows and dangly strings? Bonnet sounds ridiculous. Almost as much as a "boot." :P Besides, the English barely manage to speak their own language.
