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

It's not that much bigger, which is sad because the Blazer was made as an in between for the Bronco and a two door Jeep.

Depends which blazer you are referring to. There are the full size Blazers.

 

oh by the way @vinyldash303 you can get the 2500 Suburban/Yukon XL with a duramax.

Only full sized "Blazers" I've seen are TrailBlazers. Otherwise, only a Shitrolet version of the Bronco.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.

You have a c10 c1500 based blazer and a s10 based blazer.

Full sized:

The trailblazer is based on the Colorado frame and the last body on frame suv outside of the Tahoe lineup.

Man its been a while. This guy cuts a bunch up though. I've linked this video once or twice IIRC. I've always just bought AC Delco Pro filters for the S10, I put Motorcraft filters on Fords and Grandma's Lexus, and am going to run a Wix filter on the F350 once its got the BPD oil cooler on it.

I don't think it was that one, it was someone else with a website that looked out of the 90s.

@bcredeur97 @vinyldash303 Can one of you link the site you use for oil filter reviews? I can't find it.

it's neither of the videos @vinyldash303 posted... ive never seen those.

it was a site. Here it is: http://www.gmtruckcentral.com/articles/oilfilterstudy.html

 

and in there is a link to the images of what all the filter papers caught: http://www.gmtruckcentral.com/articles/oilfilter/comparison.html

(cleaner is better, it passed through the filter before landing on the paper shown)

 

and that's why I use Fram XG filters :P

Similar temps everywhere. Just happy i don't live further north.

 

Game screenshot. The depth is too artificial and everything is too clean.

Just noticed the buildings in the far background. Cities Skylines buildings are more realistic.

Looks real to me. plus I really doubt a game would feature an FD RX7 with an RX3 front end. Also, if you see in the reflection, you can see a prius. What sensible game would have a prius first of all?

I'm just waiting for the snow to come. I'm guessing that will be in a week or 2. 

 

The detail on the car is amazing though.

Its just a render of a kit that supposedly turns your Rx7 into an RX3 inspired thing.

Yeah, i didn't realize that until after. But it looked pretty realistic, like it looks like something you see straight off the street, and taken with a pretty ok camera lens.
