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

you mean acura legend coupe ls? because every time i google acura ls, i end up with the integra ls, which is a 2001 model, or the legend ls. i think you meant the legend ls. but still, pretty strong v6 motor, yet i don't understand why it's front wheel drive when the engine is longitudinally placed. it could have been a great car to have some great fun in.

Yeah, Acura Legend Coupe LS.  1993.  For a first car, I don't mind.  At least it isn't a Corolla, or even a entry Cobalt.

 

I think it's going to be awesome despite that flaw.  Seems like a pretty good car by what I've read.  Going to see if I can test drive it this weekend.  All it needs is CV replacements.

man, everybody's posting pics of their animals, and here i am sitting at my pc, turning green with envy. i wish i had a dog, preferrably golden lab or corgi.

There's a stray dog around this area who is super friendly to pretty much only me. Every time I go out for a walk he just runs up and trots by my side. Happiest motherfucker I've ever seen.

You are like the stereotypical billionare, classics cars, exotic pets, interests in aviation and a little poke in the direction of expensive hobbies. :P

Yeah, those rear wheels should be tucked in so that they barely clear the arches, finnegan's chevy is a Great example of how i want my gassers to look, only things is i like the nose to be a little higher and i would also go for some crazy metallic flake paint instead of a full matte black. 

cb712fc62ba8560288bc31964e53d627.jpg

This is more what i want, the rear end needs to sit lower though and it lacks a MASSIVE blower with dual carbs and velocity stacks at the top.

(Exhaust should be routed out behind the fender too)

Shawn "Obishawn" Crosby's del Sol and 350z.

I know we should all be respectfull to other people's cars but what the actual fuck? Obiously this man has spent countless hours on building these cars and i respect that (some parts of them are c(3p)ool like the weathering and "rough" styling but why the fuck would you do this to some slightly rare and fun cars?) If only he had taken his mom's honda shuttle instead of a 350z and his grandma's dying mercedes instead of a delsol it would have been so much better.

 

Ps: delsol isnt super sporty but with some work it is a blast to drive!

I have seen two, one convertible and one hardtop, never seen any for sale and before anyone asks, i have NEVER seen a delsol, irl or for sale.

(Z's tend to be pricey here too, in general the taxations tend to lie around 100k nok for one in good condition and ones wich will need some wrenching are around 75k (source: norwegian car magasines) and delsols werent really popular over here)
