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

Here's a teaser!

 

Finally! Everything's done! 

 

Took me a while to gather and resort the audio. I didnt exactly use a scientific method of recording the audio, but I mean hey, it works. I didnt get any drive by audio because I didnt want to leave my laptop on the side of the road. Also, as advertised, NO DRONE at highway speeds. Good Job COBB!

The catback has a month and a half of use on it so it's sound is matured. If you want to skip the "before" audio clips, skip to @2:00

No waste gate noise. And it seems a bit more pleasant to drive. I dig it.

Today I'm gonna spend 40 minutes trying to get a brake rotor off of an Audi

 

- said no one ever

 

 

 

His pads are complete toast btw. I don't think the people that "replaced the pads" after the car was sold to my dad actually replaced the pads. Just the electric wear sensors which they left hanging lol

 

oh well. At least he'll have slotted rotors... but only in the front for now lol

i need to replace the rear brakes on the protege soon. those duralast pads are really shit and cake on dust like nobody's problem, and they seem to last shorter than the front duralast gold pads. but i want to try my hand at some ebc brakes soon though.

Couple of months ago. I didnt stay stopped at a stop sign long enough at a shit intersection with poor visibility and t boned a Camery. I was doing ~7 and she was doing ~25. Everybody drove away and I was found at 70% fault because she didnt try to avoid the accident and I didn't see her til she was right in front of me. 

oh shit man. how bad was the damage for both cars?

E36 is my favorite, followed by the E30

e36 interior is quite dated to me, so i'd go e46, even though i'm not so crazy for it.

It was just really off to see the announcement of the GT2 RS at E3 of all places. I wonder how much money Microsoft threw at Porsche to get that.

 

And hard for me to get excited about this new version of the Xbox. "Xbox One X".

Finished one side of the Audi. Only took 5 hours. Pfft

 

that and I'm absolutely filthy.... covered in head to toe in brake dust and road grime. 

 

Sigh

 

 not to mention the stupid bolt I was tightening in an odd position and my hand slipped and I punched myself in the mouth and cut the inside of my lip

-_-

 

i have like an entire week to do the other side so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I figured it was a GT3 they were gonna show off or something lol. 

 

I don't think they've shown a single live rendered game yet. But yeah bad name. Shoulda just called it xbox one 4k.

It discharged or is the compressor clutch just not working anymore?

No idea but it's 30C and raining all week, I CBA to check it out today. I'm thinking the system needs to be recharged but I'm also due for an oil change soon so might get it all over with in one go.

(If waste gate and blow off valve are the same) then in fact there is that satisfying pssshhh sound if you listen close enough! Might be hard to hear if you dont have headphones :)
