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

i mean i'd like to look for some new rims if i get a truck, and i'd get something at least one size larger to give it a bigger appearance. i mean i feel like it might give the same effect larger rims on a car would give compared to stock sized.

 

i wanna get a speedhunters banner on my car (wish i'd do it for my e39 m5, but there's a sensor at the top of the windshield preventing it.

Could put it on the bottom. That's what I'll have to do if I ever have a car that's fitting for. Being 6'5" I need all the space I can get at the top of the windshield.

Some background on the camry, it was on a ship at the docks in Oslo and the weather was so bad that it got sprayed with salt water while uploading, because car + salt water = rust, the insurance company and Toyota dealership agreed to giving the cars to schools for students to practice on. Because of this the chassis has to get crushed (we can pick it clean and sell all the parts but not the shell itsself) so yea.... SHIT SUCKS MASSIVE DONG.

In the school i went to we had engines donated straight from volvo. Which we could technically put in another car and use.

But by the time i'd gotten there they had been re-built thousands and thousands of times. Its a wonder they even ran at all.

All the actual cars we worked on were from people that went to the school to have stuff fixed.

Got into my car today and picked up a new keyboard.

Just decided to grab a cheapish mechanical keyboard that caught my eye.

Ended up with a Turtle beach Impact 600. Cherry mx brown

Getting used to it will take a while but at least i can type again :D 

 

Red backlight though.. All my other things have blue backlight... Dang it.

When the car finally stops he just looks around like

"Okay.. All my bits are intact. Stuff is broken on the car.. Better get my phone and get out then" 

You can see that he is in chock. But still. Amazingly calm
