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

@byalexandr I like how you didn't need spacers to do that. It's awesome. 

 

 

Enjoy the car!

Yeah the wheels are already zero offset so they stick out quite far. Normally the car has like 40mm of inward offset.

It's screaming for a Buddy Club front lip... :P

Yeah I know.... xD

 

But it's really expensive, costs nearly $400 to have it at my door. Plus it comes white so I have to paint it and all. I will definitely do it, but it will have to wait for now.

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.

 

Owner confirmed this was the original spec of the car:

Do NOT like that colour, nor the painted rims. Don't like the wing either.

Never liked them even from childhood. Same thing with mustard. (Honey mustard and dijon mustard is fine tho) 

 

They are basically the only foods I don't like

I never liked shrooms as a child but today I love them.

Onions I hate, always have, same with brussel sprouts, and cooked cauliflower(white) and broccoli(green), but raw I can eat it.

I do not do pickles on food, but I dont mind eating them separately. Liver I never have, never will. Or heart.

Holy cow my ECU that shipped out today is supposed to be here Thursday by 6 (the tracking shows that anyway)

 

2 day shipping fro Nottingham, UK and that's with paying for the slowest service from TNT. Whod'a thunk it?!

Yeah its pretty random, sometimes shit from China takes 2 months, other times 2 weeks. I think it depends on the shipping price, from the true shipping price to the yingyang s/h price where its subsidized into the price of the item

That's my issue with mushrooms and pickles. They're so strong. And the texture is bleh

I bought a pair of in-ear headphones from Canada earlier. I think it took two days for them to arrive in Sweden, maybe three.

 

Also, a random thought I got when I was watching a video. What's with the bad driving etiquette drivers have in the US? Why would anyone hog the leftmost (passing lane) on a 4-lane freeway?

Well, yeah I already knew that. This video exposed that even more. Hes still not as cringy as some youtubers that talk about mechanics and the inner workings of a car when its obvious they read a marketing pamphlet.
