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

I remember when it hit $4.50 a gallon years back. Those were dark days

gas in cali a few years back was especially sucky. paying over 4.85 a gallon, even for the cheapest quality fuel here was super no bueno. but back then we only had 2 cars to deal with.  and that was like the first year of the recession too.

Same, yet I still can't put on weight.

That I'm jealous of. If I eat two small meals a day and drink just water I lose about a pound a week or so. But that's hard to keep up

It's not all that fun though, if I don't eat pretty regularly my blood sugar drops like a rock and I feel like absolute shit. It's like all the fun of diabetes without the diabetes.

I weighed myself yesterday and I'm 6'1" and 180. I'm going to start running I think. I'd like to get most of my gut off. Not that theres much of one but I figure I'd be better off keeping it at bay than having to loose it once it forms. 

I want to drop another almost 60lbs worth of fat. Like I said, I'm down about 65 lbs since last January. But still progress needs to be made

So far, my computer's just being a bitch. it seems like the BCD has fucked itself over, and i've tried to fix it, but i think now the issue is beyond my knowledge, so i've given up (for now) and contacted my cousin about this issue, and maybe wait till i get a reply and see what he says. i'm hoping he doesn't tell me that my computer is absolutely fucked.

Oh and btw Matt does weird/sketchy things with his truck

 

The leveling thing (the black bracket on the top of the strut) didn't fit unless he cut the end of the OE strut studs off so instead of doing that he put nuts in between the shock mount and the spacer to push it a little further lol.... I told him I guess if it works... but it'll probably make noise at some point. 

 

Also btw his suspension settled a ton so even with the extra .25in of height those nuts add, his truck is perfectly level front to back.
