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

My special lady is almost two thousand miles away.

 

Family friend is needing her new yard done, everyone here is over quoting her so we're helping. I'm doing all the heavy work.

 

Currently they're in Lowe's looking at tiles for outside, so I'm sitting here watching stuff and waiting to see if I'm loading up tiles tonight. 700 lbs of rock tomorrow. Go me.

Honestly I've not got much to do tonight.

 

Although I found out the shop teacher has alignment tools so I might be cranking the camber on the front of the S10 soon...

 

Hope to get 2* degrees out of it.

I've been staring at shacks. Also took a look at my front suspension, was hearing noises pulling in here, dunno if it was me or the van in front of me though.

i'm really bored. like i finished all my hw, i don't have anything to study for (other than a document based question tomorrow about the new deal, which really is more of an essay), and i already watched everything on my  youtube feed. i might just crash around on automation: the car company tycoon game. it's seriously my go to game, because you can literally fine tune everything around a car, from the engine, to the car, to how it looks, to the driving dynamics.

Actually you know what would be fucking amazing for getting that brake dust off? that green roluc disk thing on a die grinder.

Or copious amounts of acid.

I'm going to attempt to do two of the wheels in white (I'm not holding my breath for it holding up though) and attempt to re clean them too ;-; and do the two hash marks on the fender.

White looks great on the wheels of the generation before, what do your wheels look like again?

 

Like the wheels on this. This would be my dream S10 if it was a V6. Same blue as Justins was

That would be the mustang without mufflers. It also has the world's loudest blower, good god I can hear the blower whine across this parking lot at idle.
