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

@terrytek despite what they say, assume workplaces will be biased toward other people. remember that's it not about you, it's about how can YOU benefit THEM. Sell yourself to them. Show heavy interest and make yourself valuable.

what's a good part or mod to do/get for the Accord for $50ish? I'm trying to save for college, so I don't want to spend more than that right now, but I have the itch to mod.

well like i have friends who work at this one place and i keep asking them if my app has been received or even looked at yet they never reply to me. it's kinda annoying tbh.

and i'm trying to specialize in the retail field since like it's probably a better place than a fast food place but like anything works at this point.

Just restaurants like that in general. Normal sit down places that aren't super high end

 

Girlfriend works at local Applebees and I work at the local IHOP

 

Love the job, just annoying at times

Discovery: one of the original XJ220S chassis from the old TWR days is currently in Toronto being restored by Grand Touring Autos for a private owner. Something like 900 hours being put in the body.

 

As seen at 6:30 from Heather Ballentine's latest vlog:

 

Note:

Camber kit. 

Poly sway bushings - moog - advance auto parts

Maybe i should get an Acura TL rear swaybar. they're supposed to improve the car's handling drastically.
