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

yah good luck with that, I usually cut my hair once every 1-2 years and I just had that hair cut like a month ago

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

how about downloading the picture to your PC and then uploading it yourself? If the file size is to big just use paint.net to reduce the quality

Hmm... favorite year... thats a hard one. I would say maybe 65-75 maybe? Thats when the C10 and the 74 dodge charger was produced, which by the way I WILL have both in my driveway some day. That and a 60s mustang that won't be in my driveway, but will be in my parent's driveway. (Made a deal with my parents that if I restored them a 60s softtop mustang I could use there barn for any of my own personal restoration projects)

Is it bad that my dream setup only costs a few thousand not counting the obutto?

Why 74? Because if you get a first gen Charger, i've heard it's the 69 Charger.

they are LED, and I don't like them enough to spend money on them. they don't look like an upgrade to me - just different /shrug personal opinion

 

they're about ~$250, I'd rather spend it on something else

ok, that's cool. maybe later when you feel like you want some more spice

 

 

this probably sounds so dumb, but have you done any engine mods to it?

Because the 74 is believed to be the one from burn notice, and I REALLY like how the 74 looks. But the 69 looks amazing too... I just like the earlier chargers compared to the ugly new ones. :P

I used a two foot breaker bar. The problem is the cap that I used to put on it didn't have enough metal where the socket was supposed to go, so it would push off the filter and not have enough contact and would pop right off when I started to twist it. Trying to remove the socket so the cap could go all the way on would pop the breaker bar off the cap when twisting.

 

 

This long. Just got up half an hour ago so it's all fucked up too.
