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

Looks like Toyota is ruining the Supra?

Good news is it'll probably be cheaper than expected. Bad news is it won't be all that great? Lol

Holy crap that thing is hideous.

Meh I disagree. May be a bit overstyled but better looking than a lot of new cars that have almost no distinctive styling.

that one says there's a shot solenoid. but trust me those are not the proteges you want. you want something 2001+ MY, 5 speed stick is best, in es trim. those can be had for about 2 grand for one around 130k miles and with decent features.

What's loctite really but thermoset plastic.

Maybe not optimal for gluing anything.
