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

Absolutely in love with this TTRS

It had a 2000cc engine, my brother told me it was the TCR engine, but it sounded like a 5 cylinder to me. We both then agreed it wasn't a four pot xD

My brother is also a car guy, more than me in some aspects, but convincing him it was a 5 cylinder just made me feel good xD

Slicks for everyone

V10 noises are yum

Ginetta with Ford's 3.7L V6. Sounded pretty good. Again, I told my brother it sounded like a V6, he thought it was a V8. I was right, he was wrong. Tough luck xD

308 TCR vs R8 V10, lmao

I think this one caught fire in the engine bay early on the race...

LS3 beast. Crashed early on as well. They did repair it and it went back to the track apparently.

Here in Portugal, C2 VTS's are about double of the 106's and Saxo's. 6 grand... :|

 

 

520d. My brother wants to trade it for a 530d or something like that, he just hates the 4 cylinder. My father on the other hand, I don't think he wants to get rid of it...

 

 

5000€ get me a 1.8T.

S4's are almost inexistent here, and if one does appear, it would probably cost more than 12k...

 

 

Like the looks, absolutely hate the wheels.

 

 

Never sold LFA's? WTF?!

 

 

E36 M3 Sedan. I want one.

 

 

Corvette engine on a Mustang. Hate when people swap engines from "rival" manufacturers.

 

 

Just came back from the usual family vacation down in Algarve. And before that I went camping for 10 days for a summer music festival. Heard some pretty nice bands live. Foals, BadBadNotGood (they are absolutely amazing live), HO99O9 is amazing for the moshpits and such. Pretty neat.

 

 

I am moving to the UK in a few years, or at least I hope I get a job offer from up there. I so want to live there because Japan imports, and car scene and car modding is so much better than the Portuguese... :|

 

 

Noticed that on Forza Horizon 3. At first I thought the game was bugged or something like that, but then I googled it and saw those fins... Weird.

 

 

Rear engine, rear wheel drive hatchback. The short wheel base makes it a bit bad for drifting, but should be plenty fun.

 

 

I say 1700.

 

 

IDK, most people here go straight to the paddocks. 5€ entry is almost nothing.

 

 

Same here xD

 

 

On the other side of the freaking globe son.

 

 

Will be posting some pics of the 24h cars and some cars I spotted outside the track (beautiful 2nd gen Eclipse, very well done, not ricy at all) and such.

Sorry about the notification rape. This won't be the last one. I'm going "off the grid" again. Camping on the mountains, and then, another music festival xD

Ah my mom had a N52 530 (2006) and my dad still has a 2001 325i that I use sometimes. That's why I'm such a BMW fanboy. :P
