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

Rather have a Stagea in all honesty. Don't have to pay GTR tax, put the front clip on. And wagon life.

Plus I honestly think it looks better than a R34 GTR (I know I'll get hate for that from someone)

 

If I can't get a Stagea I really want a R34 4 door

Don't get me wrong. The R34 GTR is a stunning car. But a Stagea with a R34 front clip just looks better to me. If it had the normal Stagea front clip, would be a different story

Man that's mint. I've really been getting into muscle cars recently. I want like a Duster or a Dart.

Now we're talking. I've been wanting a 67-72 dart (square body coupe) for quite a while now. 

fe92a598b5d38c09a5cc971fa76c531c--vader-

Most fun thing about it is that it weighs less and has more torque than a stock R34 GTR. With the measly 318. (I'd put a 440 or 455 in it)

So. Ready player one?

If we arranged a race where you could pick any car. Fictional or otherwise. What would you choose?

I can't for the life of me think of anything other than the Akira bike. That or a Death race riviera

Got my paint as smooth as glass with a clay bar and hard shell wax :)

 

Took a while, especially in this Texas heat but damn she's pretty.

Ah... The knight rider reboot.. If only they polished it.. A lot more. Could've been really decent. 

And if they toned down the cars transformation capabilities. A bit too transformer for me. 

But there have been rumblings about yet another reboot.

@terrytek Your windows is probably Education edition instead of home or pro, so lots of settings won't be available.

 

Make a live linux USB and see if you can boot to it. As for listening to music just use your phone (even if it's not allowed... how is it allowed if you can't use your phone or laptop?)

 

I might have a CD Walkman laying around... lol

using that turtle wax stuff on your car i see. i like it too and it really keeps it smooth and shiny. 

 

and please tell me you didn't wax it straight in the sun, at least pulled it into the garage or put a canopy over it or something.

on the underside, it says windows 10 pro, but for academic use. i mean it still has full windows 10 functionality, but the ITs have locked it down so hard.

Yeah in the garage, it's way too hot (105F right now) for me to be waxing my car in the sun.

 

Once you put in the light though :D

honestly when it comes to waxed down cars, black cars look spectacular. got myself a black corolla at home, waxed it, and it looks so freaking good, even in our garage.

i'd gladly take one of those, in a manual only, because those gated shifters are TO DIE FOR.

A Ghibli is just about the worst car investment ever. Not only is it gonna depreciate like hell, you also look like a cheapo lease that couldn't afford a Ferrari. Who would honestly buy one over the E Class AMG.

Yeah. Found out you can get a rear fog light on those kinda like how Volvo has.

 

You need the rear fog light, the euro tail lights, a pre 2012 build date, and euro headlight switch. Then I think, to program it in with vag com but I don't know for sure.

 

What I do know, is that they're sexy and I want  the one with the v10 in it. 


The V10 models also got all LED headlights. 

i don't see why i would really need a rear fog light, but hey if it fits, get it. and i think i'd put on a few bolt ons plus a couple tunes, maybe an akropovic exhaust for the r8 open it up a bit.
