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

don't forget saab 9-5 wagons soon :D

 

fuck yeah come to cali we got all the good shit too

 

i suppose but to me, a miata's a miata. they're still lighter than the average car, and they still use the same drivetrain layout, so really.

 

bro i think your internet's fuckey.

I wanna head out to Cali to meet up with JSR Cars anyway in Temecula, they wanna get some footage of my car

 

Plus I wanna see the country. Will have to wait until next year at least. That way I can bank enough days off to get enough time off to do this

Unless I missed some big development in epoxy resins, that can't be real. Most of the resins I'm familiar with start breaking down about 700 degrees or so, I know this looks like its just the cold side, but still... I'm skeptical. 

Valtonen motorsport claims that they are in final testing stages.

Interesting, I'll have to try and find some technical info on what they're doing. Maybe I missed some new resin that has a much higher heat tolerance.

I don't know how the contractor managed this. But i'm guessing there is some cringing going on.

Whats the advantage of the carbon fiber housing?

Looks like it's on the cold side of the turbo. 

 

So I'm just guessing weight? Less heat transfer maybe?

@bcredeur97 nailed it. Lighter and a lower heat transfer coefficient than aluminum.

Well duh, because small country needs a small car.

Hasnt stopped a huge amount of people buying SUVs to take their kids to school and then go into town tho

I still dont understand why theyre so popular here

 

Also, the person complaining is the SQ5 owner, is she right?

I really want to go back to Canada at some point

 

I never realized how strong the Canada car scene was until I stumbled upon Lowcals last year. And I've wanted to head up for car things ever since

 

I wouldn't mind moving to Canada at some point in the future... idk

Meanwhile, a flight from the nearest airport to Calgary would take around 15h because the plane stops in Frankfurt first (wut, y u go Portugal -> Germany -> Canada?) and a shit ton of money.

so my high school gave us laptops to use this year, and i must say i'm quite disappointed. when i heard x360, i expected something pretty good. but this is a base model, not even a normal pavillion model. and they still have you connect directly to their domain, so that means THEY HAVE THE FUCKING NERVE TO BLOCK SPOTIFY. WHAT THE FLIPPITY FUCK. I don't care if some settings are disabled and you can't install programs but why the FUCK did you block spotify? i'm so fucking heated.

SoundCloud, YouTube...

There must be a way to bypass that...
