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

SOMEBODY STOP ME.

 

Other than the slightly sketch ad posting, this is very tempting. $140 CAD is definitely below market rate but there are no other pics or confirmation whether this is the AutoArt or Bburago cast. Sent an email, but dont know if I want ot pick it up or not. Still need to set aside $300 for the Ebbro GTR I really want.

My Isp has shipped the router today. And my dryer arrived a few hours ago. Getting it inside wasn't easy as it weighs 60kg's 

Also kind of stings to look at the damn thing.. Could've been a rear axle instead.. Or LQ4 

But the worst part is that my smoking cessation spray thing is peppermint flavored and burns like 100 proof moonshine.. I hate peppermint..

996 isn't my fave but definitely a neat find. But Euro to CAD and then shipped, I could get a newer AutoArt 997 RSR from the states for the same price.

Someone in Calgary built a full scale cockpit in their basement for what looks like FSX. $25,000 CAD and a lot of time is quite a lot for a hobby, but it's something us sim racers can relate to.

You gotta be really really dedicated to one airframe to do that. Pretty neat setup though.

Man I've seen a couple of these before and I'm always really jealous about them. xD If I had all the money in the world I'd build one, set it up on a motion simulator, then get those fancy VR gloves so you have hands that appear in games and just do the entire thing in VR touching all the buttons and the like.

Or build more. :ph34r: Most people I've talked to a pretty dedicated to one specific plane so I can see it.

Let me guess, 12 out of those 10 are from Kimi.

 

Well, I was wrong.

 

None are from Kimi, but a lot are from Seb. :P

 

Loving how vocal he is at Ferrari compared to RBR.
