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

A few quick shots I took today

 

Alpine is a drag car making 1000+HP with a R35 GTR Engine :D

@terrytek i was refering to torque in that post. Im rated at 180 horsepower but the scangauge says more than that so i dont know what it makes. Should be about 240 or 260 tourque though. 

ah. but even still, van makes around 165 torque. still sad really.

I'm rated 178/205 from factory power wise. Not too bad I'd say

Got you beat at 240 or 260. 

yeah but you're almost 1.5x the displacement too. :P

 

but yours probably doesn't rev to 7k, and has a lot broader, lower torque curve.

well fucking great. i kicked my computer once, and one of the fans just started making a weird fucking buzz noise. it's not loud, but it's noticeable enough to be annoying af. it's like it's mentally retarded or some shit to just start making noise.

If you're buying a car 36 hours away, chances are you want it pretty bad. :P

@terrytek Btw that fan bearing was completely shot, I took it out and looked at it, it was several millimeters off of where it should have been, it's in some landfill now.

maybe for me it's just a label peeling off and hitting the case metal. that's what it mostly looks like. i need to take it out, but that's a pain, since it's sandwiched between the case and the hard drive cage.

so i just called mcdonalds back regarding my interview, and they told me that they haven't made their final decision yet, and they said if that i don't hear a phone call from them by the end of next week, then assume they've already hired all they needed. but i feel like it's bullshit, since they don't wanna hurt my feelings, but they don't need me for the job. but we'll see what happens at the end of next week, or sooner.

Pretty sure they don't give a damn about your feelings. Just being polite would be my guess.

What are feelings?

yeah that was the word i was looking for, being polite. maybe they are just trying to politely decline me. but i always heard from friends who worked previously at mcdonalds that they hire everybody.
