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

I just got some Conti DWS06’s to replace the old Miata fronts. 

 

$97/ea I guess not to bad (new, of course)

 

also sticking with 195/50R16 instead of the stock 205/45R16 for ride quality reasons (and it helps with the speedo being off, but only a little)

 

ends up being a slight stretch but it’s no worse than an off the lot bmw so *shrug*

 

(and note these are just my everyday tires... my re71r’s for fun use are still ok)

Miffed that i didn't think to take a picture earlier. But the ice and frost had settled into this really beautiful and kinda mesmerizing floral pattern all over my car. I'll try to remember to take a proper pic next time. 

Maybe so i could use it for reference and possibly get it ghosted onto the car. Maybe on the roof of the Mini if i get one.

Eccleston was good. Tennant was better. Smith was the best. But that scene. That damn scene. 

 

Also, I love the scroll wheel on my G502.

Yeah, didn't help. But I think after the very last reinstall of it it may be working now.

Going back to whoever was talking about discord. 

The thread is cool for sharing car things and finding new people to talk to. But the thing with discord is that you can have actual conversations, talk about whatver you want, and generally not care as much about what get stuff gets left on be internet.

Advocate for used/older hardware. Also one of the resident petrol heads.

Discord is supported by Comcast, just so you know. They also log the chats.

Way happier with the new grille over the old one. Tho it required some modifying of the bumper to fit20171125_081438.thumb.jpg.67d67a317ea6638caa5cec339b28612d.jpg20171125_090934.thumb.jpg.ea7070e5133e723b9b8f673cd8ddf2e5.jpg

Also found out at some point my car was in an accident

That bar is meant to be straight and that solid plastic bit in the middle that goes over it is meant to be all the way over

The way I've always explained it is Eccleston that gets you interested, Tennant becomes your best friend, and Smith is the one you fall in love with
