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

..... you guys need to lay off for a while... 8VY1Iem.png

This is after one day out skiing. When I was here yesterday we were on page 62 -_-

 

 

Wasn't the Corrola (AE86) made popular by InitialD (at least to the west)?

Yea, I think the InitialD tofu delivery AE86 is what made the AE86 so popular. I prefer the KE70, though

 

Got 55 Notifications so here's a 55

-snip-

 

Going to have to agree on that one.

 

The sidewall is stretched a bit. Personally i spent months trying to find a good tire,rim size combination.

-snip

 

That's almost perfectly straight down^^ But without much tire wall flex. 

You might also notice the negative camber on the rear tire. That is stock :P

This car comes from the factory with a slight understeer setup. So the front tires start to slide slightly when you are getting near the limit. 
If you have the 16v locking rear diff that means you can feel it slide a bit, Give it a bootfull and the rear will come around :)

 

That's already part of the "General discussion"  :P

Hah, 55 notifications.. peasant  :P

 

I run 235s on a wheel that's 245.. not optimal but hey, I got a pair of barely used Hakkapeliittas for $100, so I ain't complaining.

 

Definitely the Beemer. But check insurance in your area on that Beemer. For some reason, an insurance quote for an Integra is higher than an EVO. U WOT M8

If you talking bout the cars, it's Bimmer. Motorcycles are Beemer/Beamer

Current car and dream car in one picture (from google)

 

Currently drive a 1995 BMW E34 525i

But I'm on the lookout for a good E60 :)

 

Nice! Another 525 owner!

 

Question though, why choose E60? Is there something in specific you like about it?

215 notifications xD That must've been fun

 

Meh. Saving money is saving money. (Unless it becomes unsafe. Then it's stupid)

BTW, my next project:

 

--snip--

Clean that interior right away. And some black plastic paint on the bumpers. Maybe even plasti-dip 

Please tell me it's  going to be a work van.. Not a free candy one..

I would actually really like to own an old Corolla

My dream car...

_origin_BMW-E34-3.jpg

 

What I really would want is e34 touring with S62(e39 M5 engine) and with 6spd manual ofc... Might end with either e34 540i if really lucky or e39 540i + LPG because it's like 2 times cheaper than driving with petrol

Do you and @JoaoPRSousa know each other? You would be good friends :P You both share a very large interest in E34s... 

 

How bout an E39 touring with an S85? Now that's something I would want  :D

I'd like a KE70 or TE31

But before i buy one i want to make sure i've got everything i need to bring the internals up to modern standards. At least 130bhp and modern brakes. But keeping the outside stock.

Might consider getting one now. This might just beat the sunny coupé on my next project car list
