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

+30HP to the wheels or crank? xD

 

 

Same. The thing is, the only Stagea spotted in Portugal had an R35 front end... And had UK plates... And importing cars to here is currently pretty hard, lots of taxes to pay. But, the EU has said that it's illegal for the government to make us pay that much to import cars. Lmao. Which makes something even worse, not gonna mention it, don't feel like rambling (more lmao) atm

Allways crank and blame the clutch if you dyno.

Ayyy dis place is empty, PM me some stuff i can put here, quote something some dude said or whatever (username of author/submitter will me tagged unless you dont want that)

@RevoltTrain I want to experience super low negative temps, having to shovel snow to get your car out the driveway, and all that nonsense. 

 

Ive literally never ever had to do that. So I just feel like it's something to put on the bucketlist lol

Man imagine super negative temps and you have to walk out in the forest to take a piss.

 

The bears and wolves concerned me more though.

yeah but in my area, they're the only choices if you want fast internet. god i wish i was living in san jose already, where they have fibre internet.

i'm sitting here with 3 down, and .7 up, and it's the best i can get in my area without getting satellite that's crazy expensive and has ridiculous data caps. (5-10GB)

It's not that bad. Your toes and fingers freeze before the willy does.

Bears hibernate during winter. So you're relatively safe unless you piss one of with your piss.

the only service i ever did was like in 7th grade, when i volunteered to help an afterschool program. i don't think any of it was relevant to this job field. all i did was help kids out with homework and keep them in line when they were out playing

Yeah well when it's February and you see a bear on an adjacent hill you become a bit concerned. It's probably hungry.

You should probably do more then, and vary it up a bit.

They usually dig up frozen berries.

Maybe it'll be glad that you cleared some snow for it.

It's been in the -20s here for a week now. 

I cringe every time I start the car. I can almost hear metal touching metal. In my head at least.

On a more serious note tho, I mean, each one to their own. They look good on that NB IMHO.
