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

lol LTT has spoiled us with the good ui. I think jays forum feels like most forums did years ago.

yeah, ive been posting a bit there if you haven't already seen :lol:

Yeah, I saw your "post desktop" thread :D

 

It's so hard from going from smooth LTT to rough forums. I'm not really a follower of Jay enough to be active  :D

Probably gonna go back when it's smoother

I think it's missing A LOT of key features that makes is still kinda unusable for me. The biggest being no onsite notification. The email rape is real  :o

Plus no rep system and no tagging people is tough too.

 

You got the "Speedy" username though  :D

It's definitely a WIP. Really rough around the edges...

I mean, they weren't sophisticated, but the UI flow was at least much easier.

I think oils is the one thing with engines I won't screw around with..

I always double-check with the certifying body to confirm the performance of the lubricant. Besides, SK Lubricants (maker of ZIC) supplies the base oil and blend components (and sometimes even the completed product) to the more visible makers. They actually dominate in the refining/production of VHVI / VHVI+ base oils.

What oil filter do you use?

I use Wix, but I hear Fram makes some pretty good ones too

or toilet paper :P

I use Fleetguard, Baldwin or Wix for the most part. Supposedly Purolator is good too.

The higher end Napa, Bosch, Fram, etc. filters are alright. Their entry level models are worse than OE imo.

It is true that if you replace the filter regularly and on schedule, most would be just fine (even the budget FRAMs). Aside from being more durable and having working anti-drainback designs, good filters tend to either trap finer contaminants and/or take in more contaminants before they clog.

I personally would have like the see the 5.8L out of the new GT500's in the GT, but oh well. The Ecoboost is a great engine, and I'm willing to bet that some will be over 1000whp very soon.

This is the most underrated car of 2014/2015...

 

Škoda's are great... might be a bit biased as I own one :P

Not the Octavia VRS though but I'd like to.

Honda cars are alright. First gen civics are cool. And honda enthusiasts are alright. The honda fanboys are the most toxic part of any car community though.

Liquid Blue Metallic is too sexy <3

 

Third favorite blue on the E39, which is actually saying quite a bit, judging by the fact that E39's has A LOT of colors, especially blue

This is just sad. I think the Hellcat variants of the Charger and the Challenger are the right halo cars for Dodge.
