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

Actually Superformance got rights to produce limited runs licensed by Carrol Shelby himself and used actual “CSX8...” chassis numbers. They were mostly fiberglass bodied cars, and are very sought after. If you find an aluminum bodied Superformance it is basically the same thing as a CSX4... shelby cobra.

I’d buy one in a heart beat but there were some sold at limited run in the 200-250k price range.

Unless it was built in the 60s its still a kit car to me.Shelby did the same thing to another company to make new 67/68 Shelby mustangs.To me those are kit cars/clones to me even if shelby allowed its not old its new.

This makes me sad.

I mean while the parking job is shit, that really doesn't necessarily mean a person needs to go and spray paint along it. Tragic.

Over here the comfort food of choice would be some mac and cheese. Though my favorite would be a good big ol' bowl of beef combo pho. Literally so good on a nice day.

The S10 is making more noise. Today going to class it sounded like Moms car did whn it was missfiring real bad, felt sligtly lower on power and the lifter tick was louder. Ugh. 

LS swap, just find someone's truck with it in a parking lot and uh.. wrench away.

My comfort food is steak and beer. So is most of my other food for that matter.

I wanted to do a launch on my way home today but it was still ticking so i decided against it. Honestly if it were gonna take a shit I wish it would hurry up and get on with it or quit making noise. 

 

 

 

You know what would fix it? Another road trip. Another 10,000 miles. 

Except this time, the road trip will involve a boat ride to Europe? :P 

Custom pinewood case, Corsair CX 600W, Rampage 3 Extreme, i7 980x (@4.2ghz) with ML240 Cooler,  MSI GTX 970, 24gb DDR3, 240gb OCZ Tr150 SSD + 2Tb Seagate Baracuda. 

 

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