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

Living on your own sucks. Not having your parents paying all the shit must be hard...

Living on my own is great. But yeah that second part is a bummer.. 

That said i do have more say in how i spend my money now. Which is nice.

Buuut. I have to be boring things.. Like reasonable and budget minded..

I meant living on your own sucks because of that. As you said, living on your own is great.

whatever an engine rebuild will cost you and whatever other little things that it needs. 


He said knock so it could be rod knock. Don't want a rod to break on you. Then you need a new block :(

As much as I love the Z32, they are not cheap to keep reliable.  They can be a very reliable car as long as you keep up with PM.  Not an ideal DD though, it'll suck your account dry and demand more.

Looks like a Mercedes. 

If thats the direction they are talking to "re brand" i am not a fan. I liked this design much better.
