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 really like the look of the newer one we can't have in the US because CUV everything.

right it's so annoying

 

also dammit now I'm looking at Chevrolet Prizms again

 

 

Might not be ideal for moving but I'm sure I could fit a lot in the back seats up to the window sills and trunk. I'm not taking any furniture. Just me, my clothes and some rabbits.
the largest thing I might take might be a bed in a box and my tv.
The PC and Monitor don't need too much space. I'm rocking a Cooler Master Silencio 352 for the case lol but for a 1,000 mile move

Considering I had the suspension before I had the car I can finally say I got it installed.  Hoping it will settle another little bit but I'm happy with it.

I have the same shocks and springs on the focus. It definitely took a bit to settle, so it should get a bit lower with time. This was right after install, it's selled about 1/4" (6mm) since then.

what about F22 M2 bumper?

I already edited my post. On widebody cars they both can look good, but on non M cars (I've seen an E46 Compact with a 1M replica front bumper and holy shit was that ugly) it just doesn't look good... A lot of people throw 1M replica bumpers on their 1 series here, and without the wider fenders, it looks so fucking bad.

Sadly that V10 is being used, and it would make for a really ugly swap. That's not exactly a sexy V10.

Little later than that. I posted it on August 6 if that helps, you'll see the wrinkle red valve cover.

Just got the new clutch in the Corolla today, and now we're putting everything back together. Does anybody know what kind of differential fluid I need to get, because I'm having trouble finding any real answers online.

So I just "bought" (contingent on the guy finding the title) a 2003 Mitsu Eclipse GTS for 100$

Current owner doesn't know when the timing belt (3.0L V6) was last changed, so that's a first order of business.

Anyone know how much of a PITA it is to change it in your driveway? Or is such a thing best left to a real mechanic?
