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

Satansjävlafitthövedragkrok is something i might end up saying if i walk into one. A bunch of swedish  words crammed together into the span of three or four seconds.

-tow hitch snip-

We used to keep one on the suburban all the time... Even though we like never towed anything. 

Problem was the suburban BARELY fits in the garage and every inch counts... so we took it off. 

Best thing ever... I never hit it anymore LOL.. pretty much everytime my mom would come home with a gigantic load of groceries I'd hit at some point walking back/forth unloading the car LOL

how high off the ground did it sit? in my case, i feel like with a tall SUV, i'd probably crack my balls trying to unload groceries if there was a hitch there. literally i haven't gone a single day without swearing bc of it.

Nothing special. Just a near-mint celica liftback. Which is sarcasm of course. 

I wonder if they just wanted something old to play off as a "crap car" Or if they wanted to hint at the character that owns it is a car enthusiast. 

To be fair. It's a crap car in the eyes of the general public. Only those who knows about it will care.

i've always thought europeans were shorter than americans for some reason lol. and being asian, who are typically pretty short, i'm way above average, normally average is like 5'3.

 

edit: i is wrong. asian men are actually much taller than anticipated. they're more my heigh, so i'm average. poo.

Ah, that explains it.

my balls are only like 2 feet up, so any high mounted trailer hitch can possibly shred them.

the RS2 is so rare, that you could easily get a V10 RS6 before the RS2 xD 

 

Welcome to Portugal, where you can find 2 RS2's for almost 40k (each) and ONE RS6 V10 for 50k+

(for sale, I think that RS6's are far more common than RS2's anyway)

it's so clean. I want it and i want to V6 swap it. 

 

It looks clean. God knows what's going on in the interior and engine bay xD

Why a V6 tho? 3S-GTE boiii (jk, a Honda V6 is probably way cheaper and easier to source than a 3S)

because a toyota V6 of the same era is a stupid easy swap, and they have TRD superchargers for 'em.

Oh. Don't know much about Toyota's V6 from that era, that's why I said "Honda V6".
