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

Okay, so I am back again with car questions.

 

I want to put a cold air intake into my base Subaru Impreza, but I really can't find any designed specifically for my car. How hard is it to build a custom cold air intake for my car? 

 

Thanks

 

no no no. You need a hot air intake. They are wayyy better :P jk/

M2 because manual transmission. Alfa has no manual, TTRS same reason, and cayman just looks ugly.

I see nothing wrong with that. My 2010 corolla is worth about 9 grand on KBB, 10 grand seems reasonable for a sonic.

The Chevy spark someone was trying to get 10k for on bookface

xD depends on age and mileage as well. Still, I would only buy it new for that price @terrytekLS400 is nice, my grandad's friend bought a slightly riced out one off of a college student a few years back nad it looks stupid. It's an 80 year old guy cruising with an otherwise beautiful LS400 with massive 22 inch chrome rims xD , but I was thinking about it and it's an ancient yacht so surely the gearbox isn't up to much. Still V8 lexus's are a delicacy in the UK and pretty damn nice. Dad had 3 in a row and then switched to hybrid tech.

I'd take one that is a 98 or newer, because 5 speed transmission and better looks. Also still v8 for under 5 grand, most of them are around 3-4 grand in good condition, about the price for a normal protege.

So a lexus SC400? I kinda like the look of the front when they're dropped a few inches.

Completely agree. man the new one is such monster. I had the new TTS for a few weeks and honestly having driven a few R8's I'd buy the TT over them, its stupidly epic! !

400hp and 480nm with AWD in the small TT body ... and the sweet sweet 5cylinder soundtrack :D 

i'd take the TTRS over an R8 anyday ...
