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

Alright, I'll be the first to say. This looks fun as fuck

This. Is. Beautiful. Looks more like a sunday drive/show piece than a daily driver though

I wouldn't be able to stop humming the james bond theme if i had that. 

 

Yeah its too nice to sacrifice to the all consuming salt. And my savings are shot to hell.. I want it so bad though. It is absolutely gorgeous.

But its hard to help people on this site.. I type out a polite and helpful reply and by the time i press "Submit reply"

then someone else has already solved it, the thread is marked as solved and my reply is useless.

I've never been to Mesa afaik, Tucson doesn't get that much rain regularly. Only in the monsoon season.

 

Edit: Have been to Mesa, it's a forgettable city though.

I know. I posted in a few of them. It ended up with the forum feeling completely different.

I mean its the internet. So i only gave a hint of a fuck back then. But a hint of a fuck is a lot on the internet. 

Its harder with the people in this thread. There have been a few members that left and i actually felt a bit sad that they were gone.

But then i snap out of it since they are probably getting shit done.

I'm getting a set of these for my driver's seat.

1 1/4" drop of the seat will be soooooo nice. Maybe the steering wheel won't be in my lap anymore lol

 

And I love how he optimized it for people who are 6' which is my height. Couldn't have worked out better.
