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

What's the bs with "can't afford new rims" if you don't like my current rims and/or don't want to help me with my problem simply don't comment on it.

I have two set's of tires 18" and 16", the 18"s fit perfect, that's why dumb looking flares are not an option.

Just trying to come in with some suggestions. I know you like your current rims but the front brakes were a problem. I also know you were a bit iffy about the spacers.

Calm down.

If i had to pick a modern Porsche i'd have to go for the 987 Boxter Spyder

Unfortunately i'd have to spec it out completely to get all the stock boxter stuff back. It doesn't even come with door handles stock..

Just saw the new Espace driving by. My god, that thing is revolting. It looks like somebody took a normal people carrier and put something very heavy on top.

And what's with the big wheels!?. They look like they'd look huge even on a rolls royce.. 

And those rear lights are just going to be a nightmare if they break.

I was waiting for someone to post that. This is the first race i've ever watched and i can see why people watch this stuff. that focus seems fine though. It went hauling balls away. Is it still out or did they pull it in?

The timing shoes hes still moving out on track but he's down in P27. The leaders are having a heck of a time working through traffic.

Yeah. SVG did a monster first stint and qualified the thing 2:01.2, a new track record. He and a few of the other guys there are V8 Supercars regulars so they know Bathurst very well. Alvaro Parente, who is in it now, is a factory McLaren driver.

 

In other news GTR #1 is leading with Florian Straus in it WOOOOO.

Seems more like a case of a board wanting a car that did everything and had a designer work around it.

From that perspective the designer did one hell of a job. It could've looked good as a regular wagon

Also a possibility. I just feel sorry for the engineers who had to somehow make a driveable vehicle out of the drawings. I mean if they got home and got asked what they did that day, what could they say? "Well, I made a car that has better vomit inducing potential than salt water and a 35% chance to give its driver cancer"?

"I made ipecac on wheels" xD 

If i still had photoshop i could probably have fiddled with the proportions until it looked a bit better (In my eyes. Your mileage may vary) 

I like some of the design ques but the proportions feel off.

It's probably a reasonably amount considering a 650S GT3 costs $600K :P I'd guess somewhere around the price of a Lambo rotor.

 

What a move.

What baffles me, is that the buyer must have looked at an S-Max, which is better in every single way and still bought that stupid Espace. It even costs the same.

One of the demonstration guys at a company i represented a while back had an S-max that i got a few rides in. Seems like a good car.

He did regular trips from stockholm to gothenburg and karlstad (Pretty long journeys) in it and it never missed a beat^^
