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 mean it'd be cool to have a clip that holds 100 rounds but a Garand only takes 8...

Not that disgruntled. I'm passively disgruntled, not actively disgruntled.

That's not a very helpful comparison because I don't know how much those are worth. :P

A good M3 will cost you about £10/11k ($13k)

About the same price as 996 Porsche's

@vetali about time..... I found my idle problem. 

 

It just took an autocross I guess to really show itself (tho it showed up this morning, idling in traffic)

 

I'm not sure why it's a specific cylinder either... and the engine makes tons of power otherwise so it's really only an idle problem... so weird
