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 guess, but now since i have to go back to school soon, that might be a hassle, because i'm usually busy when school is in session. maybe i should've done it when i was on a 3 week break.

so guys, if you want your cars to drift better in fh3, then put on rally springs and just stiffen it to race levels, so you can get more angle, apparently.

I would. Despite what people try to pander, onboard audio blows IMO.

Having tried both id say the difference is in the level of static.  Audio quality not so much.  

So if there are bothersome levels of static a dgx is a relatively cheap fix.

Plus, it only cost 15 grand. For a manual V8 AWD sedan... God damn if that isn't a bargain.

That worked in Horizon 2. So it makes sense to work in Horizon 3. Cool that it's confirmed tho

ok but i don't get why the price is so fucking inflated in america. it costs upwards of 40 grand for that model. and of all the rs4 models that audi could've brought to america, they brought the worst looking one (that generation looked like shit imo)

I can't agree with you on the last part, but maybe it just didn't sell as well in the US, which makes it a little bit rarer, idk

Who on earth lets such a car (an M5) get so dirty and in such bad shape? It's so sad it hurts.

People who use them and dont have the money or time to fix them. People are busy. 

 

Its the same reason why there's a BMW Z3 convertable in my apartment complex that has the clearcoat peeling on it. He probably got it second hand and doesnt love it enough to justify repainting it. 

 

I agree with you, but, damn, it's a classic car... :|

I'm not saying that it shouldn't. In fact, I'd daily anything, as long as it didn't blew my wallet with maintenance and fuel bills.

Just look at the interior and all that green stuff on the bonnet... To me, looks like the owner didn't give a single fuck, or bought something else, and due to sentimental value, couldn't get rid of it / drive it...

Got some new shoes for the Fiesta ST courtesy of Sparco and General Altimax Arctics. They arrived just in time as well since we just got hit with a big snowstorm (8-12 inches of snow is a lot for the South)

I need new rear brake adjuster gears. Because mine are so bad I spent literally all afternoon and evening long tightening the rear adjusters 1/8th of a turn at a time, taking out the adjuster, repositioning it and hoping I got it right then turning it again. 

 

Finished and they still aren't tight enough lol

I think the brake size is perfectly fine for what it is and what I do with it. What I hate about them is the stupid system for adjusting the rear brakes.
