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

So... I'm back.

I was 50 pages late. I started skimming through them, after the first five I was like, phucc it.

Anything important I missed other than @bcredeur97 talking about his broken Miata, @terrytek complaining about his computer or about not having money, @RevoltTrain being all hyped about modding the SAAB or @chaozbandit posting things from Horizon 3 that I will never achieve? xD

You forgot @vinyldash303 blabbering on about S10s/trucks, but besides that nope, you pretty much summarized it all. And @Killa Wall intruded. xD

well my corolla started misfiring. don't know what's happening. maybe we might need to go to the toyota dealer and have them fix it. i thought it was the egr valve, so i kept searching and come to find out this car has none.

if anyone is ever curious what a transmission cooler looks like inside of a radiator; here you go:
 

100_1515.jpg

It's smaller tube inside of a larger tube that the coolant flows around. Pretty simple. Less to it than I thought....

 

@vinyldash303 explains why aftermarket transmission coolers are so effective lol

Chrysler LDP systems are a pain, but my money is on a fuel soaked canister from topping off the fuel tank.

@vinyldash303 not reallly grabber blue, but as close I could get to it. Imagine the sun hit it at the wrong angle.:P 

@RevoltTrain couldn't get the wheels to look good in white (sorry) but here's the car lower and tinted. If you're thinking of getting any other wheels, just shoot me a message.

I got a job, first paycheck is going towards my new ECU (Honestly more for increased MPG than the power. Adulting sucks)

 

I have a performance Bypass Valve on the way and new vacuum hoses coming in currently

 

May either get my windows tinted, or do my AC when I get paid also, probably AC

P sure that's the type of oil cooler my car has stock

 

What's odd is that my rad, intercooler, and A/C Condenser are all sandwiched together. Part of the reason I want a new intercooler, because it's sandwiched in the middle
