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

Work your way up to become an engineer for one of these companies and try to make some stuff more idiot proof. :P

Engineering... meh not my thing. I like to fix problems, not create them.

Well it's not that hard to tell someone who designed something that they did it wrong, and why.

 

ie: sideways fucking drain plug

It is when it isn't transversely mounted.

But that would require making two oil pans

Throw in another 1k and get a 1070.

Of course the free beach ball is tempting. Who wouldn't want one?

Please don't go full hipster. I get enough of them already considering I live in hipster central in Stockholm. 

But then i'd be over the price of the 580..

Wait for vega? Or just get the rx580 instead then. 

I kinda want one too but my GTX460 is doing fine for now (+I'm too cheap to pay for games anyways so I don't need anything). 

Unrelated: Tempted to shoot an email to the EA office here asking if I can visit a day or two/a week just to see if that field would actually interest me.

Ok this is getting to the point of insanity. I don't care what it is but asking 6 figures for a Toyota is just way too much (yes ik, LFA, but that doesn't count).

We must shut off all connections to the outside world to prevent the bad juju from leaking out.

I'll start by replaying Fallout 2.

Pardon the rookie question, but what is this bad juju everyone speaks of?

Sadly true. And around town I'm waaay faster on my bike than a car could ever be (if you were racing from one side to another or something like that). 

You're also waaaaayyyy more dangerous than any teen in an a-traktor

It's basically bad luck regarding vehicles, that is circling around our little community.

I can't remember all the juju sightings, or who even coined the term because I've got holes for a brain.

But that's the basic idea, if you're not too impatient I'm sure someone with a better memory will come and explain further.

Stock coolers - The sound of bare minimum

There's bad luck surrounding this thread. My differential starting leaking, @techswede's starting to eat itself, @vinyldash303 got in to an accident, @MadyTehWolfie got in to an accident, etc. The list keeps going.
