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

A couple weeks ago my faithful S60 gave its life protecting me from a particularly spiteful deer... That was a sad day.

This is a happy day. This is a 335i xDrive M-Sport.

Why B2? Id be down with a B5.5 W8, but would always pick the b5 rs4/s4 Audi instead....

the ones with the 3.0T (with the supercharger) and the ZF 8 speed or manual aren't too bad. just heavy.

Any Mazda nerds here? I just noticed a sticker on the hood, I don't know what authorized modifications could have been needed to been done, any help? I have no idea on any of the service history, though lots of parts have newer dates than the car was made.
