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

Yeah cause I was thinking that's a lot of effort over someone getting your model wrong. xD

Made me laugh way harder than it should have though

My car is equivalent as far as torque goes, little down on hp (About 20hp)

 

I prefer the supercharged model, it's not everyday you find a factory Supercharged 4 cylinder with a stick attached. Plus I already have a turbo car. Yeah the turbo ones are nice. But if I bought James' it would be cheap, He got it at 80K for about $5200 IIRC, now that it's just past 100K and he's had it for about 2 years he'd be willing to let it go a bit cheaper

I think it was an 07-09 car. 2.2 diesel. And from what i've heard it hasn't had any major issues. And they pull a horse trailer with it.

And either way i wouldn't swap in a 5.7 hemi without making sure the car itself was solid. 

I don't think they offered that engine here in the states. At least I was unaware of its existence

I just spent the last half hour pulling my ECU just to get a picture of the immobilizer code on it. Always fun.

When someone calls my 9-5 a 9-3

Did you get a new keyboard that you wanted an excuse to abuse, or is that person a poor, hapless victim that you singled out for his ignorance?

 

Of course, the hapless victim should feel honored you spent so much time on that long rant.

There are reasons why there are laws about hogging the left-most/passing lane.

On highways when theres a sign, not anywhere else tho.

I obey the law, sorry, deal with it.

It's more unique then the standard turbo 4 cars. Rare to see a supercharged 4. Thats 4 sure.

That's what really draws me to his SS, that and the great color it is, along with the fact that he has a pair of wheels from a TC model and his stock SC wheels

Most likely, someone just bought a new keyboard then. One would have to be pretty obsessive to make such a reply.

Those texture handles are great up until you gash your hands open because fuck you.

 

That's a lot.

it's not a lot, it's kept away on shelves and in a shed, which takes up part of the garage so you actually can't get out of a car from the passenger side. it was a shoddily built like "shed" that has plywood as doors.
