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

That's not what you should be focussed on ;)

So many things I could write here... things like this.

Yeah, it's not that appropriate so I blurred it a bit in photoshop.

That's cool. I was just caught off guard by the photoshop work. 

 

We can go back to talking about the cool Mercedes' in the pic now. :)

Anyone around here into Rat Rods? I bought a '49 dodge (mostly) with an inline 6 last xmas and have been working on it. Here is a couple pics:

It sucks that i can't like this twice^^ I love old pick up trucks. And tastefully done Rat Rods (No rust holes everywhere)

I'm guessing you've already seen this but i'll share it for the rest of the thread

 

I hope they keep the exterior looking at least a bit similar. (Or go with the muscle truck style of mismatched body panels)

Mechanical Stig bought a Nissan! This was posted on their FB a while ago, but it's still exciting. Hope they do some vids on it. The MX5 vs S2k thing is getting kinda stale...

God Turbo Yoda looked so pissed after the gramps build  :lol:

 

During the part where they turbo'd the Subaru, sometimes it would sound like Moog was asking a genuine question about turbos or intercoolers, but then it would turn into a "would you recommend this for a Honda?"question  :D

 

Turbo Yoda was so done after that

The sunbird passed away

I know. I wouldn't use the mudflap of a working car in a computer  :P I was just wondering if there were there any memorable moments you had with that car?

 

Almost all the cars I've had I remember at least one interesting story about. ie. How did it pass away?

I love the A4's. Is the 2008 the current or previous style?

 

 

It is the B7 style

If it's like that, it's a B8. The current one is the facelift aka B8.5.
