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

I've no clue xD I'm just a 15 year old, but I guess I enjoy looking up realistic cars. At 19/20 btw and yes UK unfortunately

at 19/20 they should both be about £1-1.5k to insure depending on where you live is usually where most the cost comes from

My friends getting an FK2 Type R at 19 for just £900 to insure :P

 

Needs money for car parts :P

It has beautiful lines imo. Looks a bit like a F40 and less like a Beetle.

I really never liked the 930 much, but the slantnose makes it look beautiful.

From experience with the car being NA; any type of boost would be fine IMO. 

 

You'll always be able to make more power with a turbo over a supercharger but frankly I don't really care. 

 

Anything to fix the mid range on it... Car feels kinda dead In the middle
