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

Anyone off to Croft at the week-end to watch the BTCC? (I'll be there on Sunday :) ) 

Nope, will be going to Rockingham in August.

Going Silverstone to watch the British GT instead :P

Needs money for car parts :P

Japan has only won the Le Mans once, and that was with the 4-Rotor Mazda. That was 26 years ago now.

But does the engine technically count as 'old' technology if a successor/replacement was never created?...

Think i've settled on ride height now that i've seen this. It has the wheels i want too

camp_1001_01+2001_intimidator_ss_camaros

Going to have to get real creative with the exhaust in order to make sure everything is tucked in real well under the car though. Since i live in speedbump central..

But lowering it will come after the engine swap.

Me thinks you might be doing something in the interview if they're suddenly uninterested after that.

i'm doing the typical stuff, answering all the questions as truthfully as I can, all with a smile, and just looking as good as I can towards the manager. this fucking sucks.

Are you maybe being too truthful? If you get denied again, kindly ask them why. Might seem hard but they could give useful feedback.

@Mister2010 Does the Aero have a different intercooler than my car? 

 

Spent yesterday getting the TD04 out, that was a pain in the ass. Gonna hopefully swap it in this week? 

 

Also. All my friends are at gridlife right now. And I'm at work. This sucks. 

AFAIK it has the same intercooler

get an aftermarket one thats what i always could find stuff on :P

Actually been looking into a do88 kit. Just wanted to check if the one out of the parts car was worth putting in my car or not. It's already out too.
