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

Oh I don't know if you saw but next set of tires I'm gonna lower the s10 an inch and a half with factory equipment. 

Really? I can't wait to see how that would look. Only thing I could think of that would make that S10 work would maybe be C4 Corvette wheels. They really look great on all cars as far as I've seen.

Conclusion for the Mazda exchange. 

 

Short of it, I couldn't pull the trigger. The Mazda3 that they showed me was nice, and no doubt was a nice drive, I already became attached to mine. Though financially it makes little sense to stay my hand,  I just couldn't do it. The interior, the exterior, the electronics, and controls, even the transmission stick was just too different than what I'd grown used to. 

 

Transitioning from the Volvo was easy enough as it was on deaths door and had little option. But sitting in the driver's seat of this one felt completely wrong to me. In the end, I chose to keep the Mazda3 I originally purchased. 

 

I do feel rather horrible for wasting the salesperson's time, however, I am grateful they went through this trouble. 

Never feel bad for wasting a sales persons time

I prefer the type SH wheels. The base model ones aren't bad, but if I wanted sawblades I'd go for C4 Corvette wheels, the owner Ian actually put that in my mind

 

Here's with the C4 wheels:

Also here we go with some Cobra wheels which I also really like:

idk. to me, the m5 looks way better, especially with halo lights, it's much more fun to drive, plus its a lot more comfy, being a bmw. and i know the cost to maintain it is high, but i'm willing to dump a bit more money to maintain it.

I'm not saying don't go for an M5 at all, but at a young age you're much more likely to total a car, and I'd personally rather total a 3K car instead of a 15ishK car.

 

I think you'd be better off with the cheaper fun car at a young age, just to be safe.

It's part of the zq8 rpo code. Lots of s10s had it. It's just different coils and leafs. It came with an additional frame brace, faster steering box and a lowering kit essentially. Engineers figured it would make it corner better so I'm gonna get the coils from Oriley because I've heard good things about them and see about finding the leafs. And I'll still have room to spare with 90% of curbs so it's gonna be amazing.

Ooh, I'm really hyped to see how that turns out looking :D

i mean we have the protege, and that's still a really fun car for under 3 grand with its tight steering feel and direct suspension. i mean i'll drive that for a while, then when i got the money, i'll upgrade to an m5. or, if it's not within range, i'll get a b7 audi s4 avant. i saw a nice one for sale.http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/5650761868.html

idk why, it's just me i guess, but i just hate cloth cars. they're an absolute bitch to clean if something gets on it, and i just want to try a leather car for once. plus cloth to me is ugly.

Is there an online shop for ProCharger that actually sells the kits? I checked their catalogs but found nothing. Only store within 4 hours of here doesn't have a website. :/

should I get some?

do they make some kind of film to achieve that effect? i always thought that was a natural thing with the headlights, like over time it might cause that.

You can get the leather seats for one. They were sold in Canada with them, you can buy them online.

I see where you're coming from. I personally prefer cloth,  but you could always turn the cloth seats into PC chairs (What I'll do if I ever buy bucket seats) or sell them. But I do understand

i'd honestly rather take an e39 m5 or an e46 m3 seat off ebay and use that as a pc chair. and i need one soon. this one i'm sitting on has lost all support for my ass and back. it's seriously flat as hell.

i actually kinda like the stickers and the lights, but like everybody else said, not worth 5 grand. maybe 4 if he was ambitious.
