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

RIP to a BMX legend and a former Subaru rally driver.

Anyone know when the Nissan IDX is slated to go into production? It's a car I'm really excited for and it looks like it would be good competition for the BRZ (Also love them a ton)

dude, you're really late on that. the IDx has put on indefinite hold. Fucking Nissan.

if you scroll to an article in speedhunters labeled "What the Hell has Happened to Nissan?" it will say they cancelled it. Fucking nissan. Pretty soon they're gonna go down under.

well pretty soon they'll lose support from their enthusiasts that have stuck with them since the 80s because of the lack of fun models. the same could be said of toyota.

Welp, now that the deal is done I can officially say that the insurance payout on my old Focus was more than I paid for it 9 years ago. LOL

Harry's Lap Timer is really, really cool.

Hear lots of people complaining about it crashing all the time though.

I've always had a soft spot for wagons. Especially the WRX wagon. But a GTR wagon would be the dream

Might make a time lapse of my drive to Eugene today. 

(It looks a lot nicer in person than the camera does justice I guess. Polyurethane bushings, maybe a second sub going in. Dunno yet.

cool.

 

when are you posting a video demonstrating your sig?

Toyota won't because they are known to be the most reliable cars on the planet. Nissan, not so much. not saying they're bad cars, but they can't compare to Toyota reliability. plus, Toyota is coming out with fun models again. FR-S, S-FR, FT1?

Why am I looking at a video about pickup trucks? I don't even like trucks.

Edit: After getting through the video... They didn't even really review them, at least not properly in my eyes.
