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 wanted to do that on my navara. But the beds rust so quickly on them that i'd need to do the outside as well...

Yeah living here is kind of nice because vehicles really don't rust at all. Eventually I'll get the entire undercarriage linex'd too.

It is amazing what something so simple as salt can do to steel

That's a poorly done Legacy L that was spray canned and I'd bet it was RHD converted.

There's no point buying an RHDjust for the same of it. You'd be virtually blind taking left turns...

The one I posted was a rare turbo legacy that don't pop up often

Left turns aren't too bad. But overtaking is really difficult.. Not to mention having to either reverse through a drive thru or reach through the passenger window from the drivers seat to grab your food.

I haven't been through a drive through even though 'Murrica

You'd know what I'm talking about when you have to take a left turn at a busy intersection where there are no turn signals and there's a car directly in front of you making oncoming traffic impossible to see. Taking left turns like that are already dangerous but... You have to take a huge gamble and turn before you even see cars coming the other way.

Ah.. did not think about intersections. (Trollhättan mostly has roundabouts and good visibility)

People in major cities being unable to drive is usually the case.

Personally i'm more used to this level of traffic

A Finnish city with 10 000 people in an area the size of Turku(for those who know).

So not much traffic at all. This city even has one pair of streetlights in total. No roundabouts either. And one drive-thru.

Stock coolers - The sound of bare minimum

A good way of doing it for free is to put it in between the headrest and the seat^^
