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

Just picked out an 05 Corolla for my mother-in-law to replace her POS sunfire (engine blew). These are the go-to car if reliability is most important. ;)

Okay, I'll look for corollas!!! Thank you!

I've got a bit of a dilemma about some new 19" rims I want to put on my Mazda6 (2014):

 

Either:

- RAYS 57 FXX

- Niche M130 Targa

 

The Rays have been done a lot on Mazdas since the 2014 release, but I basically want something that will look OK on a black Mazda6...

He seems OK. But it was a pretty hard hit :( 

He ran a 6.85 @ 199

i'm partial towards the rays wheels, i mean i like niche wheels, but rays probably look better on the 6.

Even though these are 20"s, I think these would look amazing. http://www.elementwheels.com/proddetail.asp?prod=2090fr1brz

I think Matt Farah reviewed that car. It's great, I kinda want one lol

 

It's a shame the NSX was so rare... but maybe thats a good thing too.
