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

Idk, maybe cos ive done a lot with brakes on farm vehicles before, i find it pretty easy. I reckon its faster bleeding it with the "one person method... Just need some more brake fluid. And well as for getting it all over yourself, practice i guess lol.

 

I broke down and bought a pressure bleeder a few years ago. Now it's super easy with only one person lol. That is my favorite way to solve problems, simply throw money at them lol.

64 Mustang with a 351 windsor stroke to 427 with a V7 vortech supercharger.

Still retains the soldid axle but with a 4 link.

Coilovers for the fronts with good bushings and a solid body with nice patina to show its age.

Can't upload any pics but you get the point.

 

Datsun 240Z s30 ofcourse with coilovers and a S54 B32HP, or a 26B that would be amazing.

Most Datsun enthusiast will hate on it but S54 are incredible motors. 26b some mazda enthusiast or datsun will say it doesn't belong in a datsun but for a motor that special it does period.

Last is a BMW e38 with a S85 motor, mate up with a t56 trans and ITB just for show (its a baller)

Ofcourse it has to be on airrex good for show good for drifting and better at cruising.

How does it rack up so many miles like that?

We've put on about 60k miles in a year before. It's not hard.. you just need a job that's reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaally far away.

I was watching a /drive video about a BMW v8 swapped 1 series BMW.

I was excited to see a hatchback but it was a sedan. I've never a seen a 1 series sedan.

Since when was there a Civic wagon?

They have been around for quite a while. Not sure how popular they are though

Here is an MK2 wagon

The MK5 seems to have skipped the wagon.

I can see why. This is what came before

A RHD conversion is lame if it's to be driven in a LHD country.

Hearing the sound at 21:25 must've been annoying in the mornings if your neighbour had one

There's no point in being RHD if it's not 'JDM'

What if it was a JDM car that had both RHD and LHD variations, like say an RX-7 that was converted to RHD for sale in the States?

It's not converted to LHD though, it is manufactured as a LHD car.  Only "legit JDM" cars are RHD.  It's not a big deal, I just think it's cheesy.
