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

Ok so they numbed my ear with lidocaine and cut out the cyst. It was a sebaceous cyst (as I figured from my research).

 

it was gross. But oh my gosh I'm so happy it's gone lol. 

 

The he doctor knew exactly what it was and brought me to a room to cut it out as soon as he saw me lol

 

but yeah he had to cut out the little waxy bit in the middle so it won't come back. Glad he did that rather than just draining it

sounds gross and intriguing... glad you got it out

yay the bronco and ranger are confirmed! http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/new-ford-ranger-and-bronco-confrmed/ (sorry if this was kinda late) i kinda want to see the new bronco, because early in my life, my dad actually had a bronco, but rebuilt the engine, and then later sold it off.

@MEC-777 Footage released of that "big" crash on the 401WB over the weekend. Whiteout conditions and people generally not paying attention. 30 seconds was the difference between stopping safely and not getting driven over by a jack-knifed semi.

it kinda annoys me because subarus were kinda known for that UEL header burble.

1uz  + a roots supercharger = best time ever.

so 7 inches to mm is about 177, so i say try to get some 185s. though idk what kinda performance tires are available for such skinny wheels.

ok, you are right there, but that burble is too smooth for my liking. i liked it in the previous gens, when it was more defined, and you can hear the pulses from the header back.

doubt you'd even need a SC. the 1UZ NA would be enough with such a light car.

Not when you read the amount of hype the local news agencys built it up to be. People want to know what lead up to it. Stuff like that doesnt happen often on the 401, where one section is essentially shut down for 3+ hours

i'd still supercharge it because that whine is godly. and plus, wouldn't hurt to be able to roast tires once in a while.

Almost forgot the pic of the inside. There isn't much. An ECU that probably doesn't work if I had to guess but other than that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It has a steering column but he pulled it out for whatever reason
