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

What does everyone here think of Volvo? Classic and modern? As long as I can remember, my family has had a Volvo S60, we're on our third one now (2014 T5) that I steal a couple times a week to get around. From what I've seen, they're not the most well built cars, but the engines are fairly reliable and they are very nice to drive. I'm slowly looking for a car, and I was thinking maybe a C30? Then there's also the classic P1800 that I think would make for a fantastic EV conversion down the line when I can afford it.

9 hours can be a pain as well. 8 hours of my working hours are allocated to me sleeping in the on call room. But i hate sleeping at work.. The bed is too soft.

Well if you work weekends they may as well be calm weekends.

did the studs give out?

Yup. Body squatted down onto the tyres and that sheared the studs clean off. 

At least that's what it looks like.

dude 300hp is more than fine, you wouldn't need to supercharge it. is this a v6 or a v8?

ok it's a boat, but i'm sure 300hp should be more than enough.
