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

The lupo is significantly lighter :P

There is a surprising lack of E110s for sale over here (With automatic gearboxes) 

And yet you see a lot of them around

Better to just leave it stock, unless you're planning to tune the car up with significant power gains.

I want to do full bolt ons, but I also have a slight oil leak (haven't figured out where from yet) but I've heard those pcv systems on these cars can cause slight leaks over time and as far as I know this cars pcv system has never been touched

Somehow people in California at least keep traffic moving because they understand merging, I don't believe people in Seattle understand this concept. :P

in my experience, LA is worse than SF.  Seattle is pretty bad, but generally not as bad as LA and SF.  although we do have our horrible days in Seattle too...  usually if there's some sort of event or strategically placed accident.  There are a couple places that will kill traffic for miles if an accident happens

Its called the 3L

from my dad's experience driving to the bay area every day, it's worse to be driving in sf than la. he drives to sf every day, but when he drives to la, we only drive there for  vacations and stuff, so we don't experience it as much. and there are times where even in a relatively quiet city like modesto, one big rig spill can jam up the freeway as well as local streets for the entire day.

I mean, I'm used to a much lower standard for merging so maybe that has something to do with it. :P In my experience Californian drivers let you over muuuuch more often than they do here.

@MEC-777 Wooooo more of our tax dollars down the drain! Granted, the new livery applies only to new busses and those getting rebuilt. The process is a mixture of painting some, and wrapping others.

Mine is a 5 speed manual.

 

 

Ps: i REALLY want a mid 70s limousine of some kind. (I could sell the e11, save every penny untill i turn 18 and then buy one of the Royal limos that come up for auction every two years but they are too new for my liking. One cool thing is that they are armoured tho)
