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

Also, to any and all living in Sweden. The government has managed to screw us over yet again with the delightful 'chemical tax' which was put into effect yesterday (1st July). :D

Seriously. Our politicians seem to be seriously intent on killing local economies and limiting movement by taxing us out of cars before we can afford EV's

From what Iv been reading on Sweclockers, my impressions are that this has royally screwed over the tech market here. People are just going to go places like amazon.de.

@RevoltTrain Me and techswede can hook you up with overnight SWE parts fam. Seriously tho, sorry to here what happened. Hope it's nothing major and that the engine didn't make a window.

No more oil leaked on the flatbed than normal (small leak from pcv, super minor)

Then chances of it being seized are at least fairly low. 

Is it not cranking at all or is it cranking but not firing?

Honestly that's a pretty achievable goal to be honest.

 

There are plenty of vans / conversions out there that don't have to cost a years salary. If you get a solid base you can always add bits to it as funds become available.

 

 

Yeah i know. Aiming low is usually a way to hit your goals xD

 

But more important things need to come first. Like a winter car. And a place to store the cars i'm not using.

I drove my camaro one winter season. Not too keen on doing it again.

 If i'm not picky there are quite a few vans out there that need a bit of attention. My only real must have are the swiveling captains chairs.
