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

Why not FC?

But honestly, if you drive a Civic here, you're gonna get sooo much hate. Pretty much every civic driven here has been riced to hell and back

That's why you sleeper it.. And FC is so pricey.. I would rather have a gen1 or 2 with a swap.. Not a v8 tho probably like 1jz (inline sounds sex), and yea if you gonna keep them stock.. Best find a spare engine..

Mauals, keys, ease of fixing, full sized spares, sexy steering wheels, rust, t-tops, weight and my all time favorite pop up head lights (winky and sleepy eyes are so dope)

Seriously so sexy..

I think this thread has already gone of those a few times before.

 

They're ridiculous and pointless, just use the space to put headlights and smooth it out for aerodynamics.

I agree with everything except  4, 5, and 8.

4. I honestly can't drive a car without creature comforts. I just can't. It's gotta have A/C, radio, cruise, and power steering (though it's gotta be hydraulic, not electric)

5. I honestly like keys like the MS6 where you can leave it in your pocket to unlock everything but you still have a knob to actually start the car, not a button. i quite like it.

8. The steering wheels of times past to me are just too plain. i like a bit of complexity in a steering wheel.

I don't think you understand what "simple interiors" means. You can have creature comforts in an interior that's designed simply.

Looks are more important on a drift car lol ;) as they already have more than enough power to give aerodynamics the middle finger [emoji14]

FSX is pretty anti-wagons and anti-pop up headlights. There really isn't any point talking about it with him  :P

Big fat touch screens... *shurgs*

 

That's truly one thing I hate about newer cars. I like being able to know what I'm doing without having to look at it.

I like them because I wouldn't have to stick something to my dash for gps or weather reports.. but aside from that I would miss being able to use something from muscle memory.

Yup.
