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

Can it take the really high heat of a manifold? If so I might use it. I really don't want that plug coming it, as soon as it does my car sounds awful and stupid loud.

Red 271 is good up to 500F.

Alberta isn't nearly as bad as BC. While their provincial economy is still strugging, they're still cashing in on oil money. Vancouver has exotics year round because so much chinese investment is there.

I always have my CC set set to defrost and footwell. Which works out because the dashcam i got has vents on it all over the place so it runs cooler, the defrost will help with that. :) 

I've always liked having footwells for the most part, if it's summer just open the windows. That's my thought anyway

When i had the golf i had to use front defrost and footwell at the same time at all times. Otherwise my legs would be cold. 

Never had that happen before. Most other cars warm up completely. But in the golf it somehow just never warmed up in the footwell if you had those vents turned off.

I like having it on all three when it's really cold. During the summer though I just set it for the dash vents.

Probably a lack of insulation.

Probably. Since my upper body would be nice and toasty. But my feet would be experiencing temperatures below absolute zero

Just had to share this guys, the greatest driver of all time, for someone to be able to tame a car like that in the dry or the socking wet, a car that didn't have that much effective downforce, weighed the same as a kitchen table with a monstrous 1200Hp engine, to go that insanely fast in a track with no run offs at all and is ringed with nothing but walls, i'm sorry, but i wouldn't be able to do that even in a video game, RESPECT Senna, no i see why F1 is so boring, because when senna died, it died with him.

Think I'll go with a glowshift boost gauge, I like the fact that I can set it to 7 different colors and can wire it to my dimmer switch to dim the lighting. Plus all the reviews I've seen of all their gauges have been nothing but great

Never cared for the Levin cars really. Almost never care for non pop-up versions of cars that had a pop-up version

I really like the one Quentyn of More Skids has, but most I don't like. I don't like S13 coupes though, or the S14, or the S15 for that matter..

 

S12 and S13 all day
