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

Yesterday I revved the van engine trying to accelerate to 50, all the way to 5K rpm, on an ice cold engine. Of course only I would do something that heinous, right?

I do that most days, car gets about 2 mins driving before its redlined in third lmao

Needs money for car parts :P

Lol It took me a while to realise they were Porsche whees, but they look weirdly nice on them imo. Awsome engine though :) 2.5 Turbo, same as MK2 Focus ST, just detuned

having a nice engines doesnt mean they have to kill the suspension on it :P 

and actually the Focus has the C30 engine ... only tuned higher :D

Colour is a bit overkill imo, but they made it just work, thumbs up to that guy. Also a Laguna Wagon? I'd almost feel bad for him.... if I forgot I cannot drive yet :P
