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

Did a quick render in PS to see what my MR2 would look like with Enkei 92's (I also lowered the car about an inch):

 

Opinions? I really like the look of mesh wheels on this body shape. Thinking about getting new wheels next paycheck.

 

One word.

yes

Eh at least I managed to turn it into a win. And I should be back online in two or three days when the fancy router arrives. Tried to get the price on the fiber installation for my house down in price but the best they could do was $1100 (last quote was $2500 though)

At least it's an option to get that done. How many books do you have left to go through? :P

It won't raise his premium since it's a hit-and-run.

Depends on the State, pretty sure his premium will raise since he has Michigan tags on the car

This is Pathetic. Even I will have issues distinguishing this from the current model..

 

 

Subaru get your shit together. Seriously.

 

This is why I was upset of the death of the Evo as a Subaru guy. They have no competition at all and can get away with calling this a "refresh"

 

And with the Lancer now dead I bet a lot more of their cars will have this happen 

 

The STI isn't any better either

Found some concrete numbers! The Duramax vans are durned down in the power and torque department because in the vans, there is no room to put the Allison Transmission, so GM opted for the 4L80e which is stout, but not as strong as the Alison used in the trucks. In 06 the trucks were transitioning from the LLY code motors at 310 HP and  605 tourques to the LBZ which was 365 HP and 650 Touques. 

 

Meanwhile the vans were running 260 HP and 525 Torques. I think the vans were detuned their entire run but I dont know for sure. It really doesnt bother me and I need to talk to the speedshop guy about what that 4L80e can handle. I dont think I'll be doing much in the power department other than a Downpipe and maybe an exhaust. I have my list of things I want to do, mainly a police bumper, gauges, rear sway bar and poly bushings. Its gonna be legit. 

Transmission doesn't fit?

Lol, my bad. I just picked a pic of google images. I'm not super familiar seeing as we haven't had a Civic Type R stateside.
