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 my Bora has suffered a similar fate as Techswede's old Golf.

One of the springymathings is broken in half.

I have a  green Mazda 2 (1.3L 3-door 2010 model) went in for it's MOT and service earlier this year, it's developed an annoying squeak noise when I accelerate in 1st/2nd gear. It only seems to happen when I accelerate away from a standing start, such as lights, or moving in slow traffic or slowly navigating a car park looking for a space, where I'm constantly changing from 1st/2nd/1st etc. The faster I accelerate, the louder the squeak. If pull away in a nice smooth and slow motion, it doesn't squeak. When it goes in for it's MOT and service next year, I might get the garage to take a look.

 

Also, it sounds like I have a leaf or something stuck inside my vents. Just ticking away when my fans are on. I've tried to blast it out and left my fans on constantly high for ages and it's still there! It's starting to drive me crazy!

I wonder what kind of bad steel they used for the springs. I've never seen that happen on cars this new.

Still. Pairing it with white seats and a brown instrument cluster.. The 70's were a wild time..

And that stereo is about as period correct as this

green also doesn't age well. Really makes an interior look shabby when everything gets old.

So this morning I woke up this harshly and suddenly due to a painful cramp in my lower right calf. It hurt so bad! I had to cover my mouth with a pillow so I could yell without waking everyone up lol

 

..then my alarm went off literally 2 minutes later. 

 

so how was everyone else's morning?

Must be something between WWII Japanese steel and Chinese pot metal.

Y'all are really against a green interior.

To be fair.. I'd take an interior made out of sharpened spikes over my ex..
