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

Huh I also noticed value wise it seems a CX-9 from Mazda undercuts Chevy and Hyundai pricing for similar cars. (Equinox - Tucson)

Last night my friend who moved to Florida came back for two day and she's been dying to see my FoST. Having driven an FiST she noted the car was more fun to drive (though that wasnt Stage 3, so it's not stock for stock setups) She was fucking laughing every time the blow off valve went off and saying "I NEEEEED to get a turbo on my Miata SOBAD" (she owns a '99 i think)

I dont let a lot of people drive my car unless I know they know how to drive, so to watch someone get giddy behind the wheel was rare and so satisfying. Plus catching up over two years is always nice.

Meant CX-3 but too tiny I guess. So maybe 2015 or 2016 CX-5 GT depending on how much they are going for mid next year.

I'd also want to be making more money. Probably would look at becoming a pharmacy technician they would make enough to where I could go to a community college for generals. 

 

Looking at the CX-5 though it looks great. The 2015 and refreshed 2016 are pretty much the same to me but I guess they did some changes.

@terrytek besides the CX-5 probably being a more all around better car I think I know why you'd rather me get the Mazda over the Chev Equinox.

Naw. Wouldn't be worth it. I'd love to turn it into a drift car but really its in too good of shape. Found out its got 31,000 on it, but the odometer is only 5 digits. So it could be 31k or 331k. 

 

So for a drift car it would need a manual swap, but these never came in manual, so you'd be completly on your own. 

Not mine, its my grandads. Got it for a thousand. 

Just clean it up and enjoy it for what it is.

whats the story behind that one? people didn't expect cars to last very long back then? or some other reason?

I think those cars are best just restored to their original form. it was never meant to be a drift car and you'd have a hard time and would spend A LOT of money to make it one... so just don't .

Don't know if it runs, don't know if it needs a tranny

 

 

oh thats the other thing. New tranny fluid and filter. 

Pretty much the plan. Maybe an exhaust. Maybe a cam. Need to figure out why the drivers seat is all fucky. 

With that 472 i don't think you'll even need a cam.

Yeah. And its a convertable. So its not very ideal. 

 

Its also so much bigger than i thought it was. I knew it would be big but not quite as long as it is given that its a two door. 

Well yeah but it would be just like a little pepper on top. 

 

Although i would like to change it to a clutch fan. Instead of the dump truck fan on there now. Thats the one thing I don't like about it. 

Find out if it runs first xD
