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

IKR? :wub:

 

I would rather have my "shopping cart" wheels, as my brother calls them, from our E60.

 

 

 

16" bruh.

 

Those came on an E60?

Yep.

They are not the factory ones though :(

According to the VIN decoder, it came with 17" wheels, not sure about what model they were, but when we bought it, it had this 16" ones. They do not look that bad and provide extra comfort since they are smaller :)

This is the best thread on the whole forums. Technical and mechanical experience would be easily assimilated from here!

 

What mostly intrigues my attention about this tiny rally version car, its wittiness is able to rev between 7000 up to 9000 rpm by 198 NM torque and 209 bhp respectively which is quite electrifying.

How is that possible? It is quite rare to see a '01 Focus RS nowadays.

 

Yesterday I saw 2. :P

I know but it would be sympathetic if they put the classics on production once again!

 

Car show today. Should be fun. Get to try out my new lens for my camera.

 

Hey, post some photos when you finish capturing them. Thank you! :)

-saxo and golf-

That's a lovely clean saxo right there. I'm keen to test one as well; how does it drive and handle?

 

By the way, I was a passenger in my friend's saxo, it was quite tiny and I couldn't fit or sit comfortably. ^^

VW is a brilliant piece of machinery when it comes to economy and efficiency especially the Golf. :P

 

Your car looks well tuned; I like the body and the rims paint. They fit very well! ^^
