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

No it's not, just that my opinion of why it exists isn't very nice to some people who would end up buying it.

I just know people's opinions vary a lot so I usually just want to keep them to myself so I don't start a "discussion." xD

Lol better safe than sorry. Sometimes it's just better to wrap it up. All it takes is one slip and it's all down hill.

#37 Green Mazda 2. 

Saturday race was a dud because of the incidents. Think they got 7 laps in or something then the race was red flagged and ended early. 

Sunday race looks like he was having some fuel issues and didnt finish. 

Ah yes I'll have to see if I got any shots. Sat they recorded 9 laps but only half were green. Vaguely recall seeing the Mazda through T2 on Sunday.

The Camaro looks so out of place in that class, lol. 

 

Some great action though. ;) Wish I could have been there to watch it. 

 

The Camaro has ridiculous suspension travel compared to the field. Muscled from P5 to P2 down the straight. 

 

The two Toronto KTM Xbows were harassing the caymans throughout the weekend. Amazing action from both mantella cars. Unfortunately they didn't have the straight line speed to get past, which meant some bold moves through 3 and 4.

 

The Panoz did surprisingly well to hold off the maserati MC gt4. SIN R1 ran away with a double win, which is amazing when last year both cars failed to make it out of mid field.

What finishing products do you use on your vehicles? (e.g. compound, polish, wax, sealant..)

At first I read too quickly and skipped the "nature" part. I thought "dang he is a boss."

Finished installing my fender flares :)

 

No more rubbing, I think it looks pretty nice too. Gonna have to put my car on hold for a while though now that I need to save up before college in the fall. Will still do regular maintenance but other than that I won't be buying any new stuff for a while.

@byalexandr I like how you didn't need spacers to do that. It's awesome.

Just make sure your saving money! You'll need it later

 

too many people don't know how to save

 

you basically take a % each paycheck and put it to the side and mark it as "off limits" xD
