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

definitely. but i'd think it's a better utility/fun car to drive. i'll leave my range rover to be a family car. and then maybe an rs7 as my daily.

 

probably me in 30 years

Best family car.

 

I actually have yet to see even the first gen Stagea up here... Seems the market for them isn't as hot as the R34 GTTs or R32 GTSTs.

It would only been worth it if it was a low mileage one. And me knowing SAAB's, none of them are. I'm guessing 250,000 km's, at the very least.

But some of their engines are actually quite nice.

 

Edit: And you made me look at SAAB's now. Laughed a bit at this ad. "Low mileage", my ass.

Its probably not low mileage. It is a commuter car that has been going from trollhättan to gothenburg. (Ironically to the volvo factory) every day for a few years now.

I know one guy swapped an SR20 for the B205E in an S13. (It was on Blocket a while ago)

So Toyota is half-assing the rebadging... Scion FR-S => Toyota FR-S.

 

Missed opportunities, but hey not you only need to swap one badge.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey guess what else is dead today! Kiss goodbye to the Cadillac ELR, aka a rebodied, "luxury" version of the Volt!

The only time I've seen one in person was at the annual auto show and it never really seemed like an enticing purchase. Lets hope that Cadillac has better luck with the upcoming CT6.

welp. my in car phone mount broke today. It was $5. served its purpose for a year of use.

 

Now I get to execute plan B. Autocross video. 

 

Now I got a wide angle lens for my phone in my amazon cart, now I just need a phone mount that will pass tech inspection so I can use it to film. Or even use something cool like Track Addict and get an overlay and stuff hehe. 

 

so what phone mount will be strong and pass inspection? Preferably Not too expensive, everything I do these days has cost savings in mind since I dont make much lol
