I can appreciate the amount of time and money he must have spent on it.

Just out of curiosity, if I dug a massive hole and shovelled 2 skip-bins' worth of $5 notes into it, could you appreciate the amount of time and money I spent doing it?

Assuming you weren't allowed to go and dig it all up afterwards, of course.

No because thats just a waste of money.

This guy obviously has a different taste in modifying vehicles to what I do. He's spent a lot of time and money preparing the car to satisfy his tastes, which i can admire and respect even though his car doesn't particularly appeal to me, its plain to see he has put some effort into it.

Being a cockhead and throwing money away in a hole using a shovel is another matter entirely :P

How do you know that my hobby isn't burying treasure and living out my pirate fantasies? Or I'm a furry, and burying stuff is foreplay before I go shag my partner while we're both wearing dog costumes? Different tastes, etc....

All I'm saying is that appreciation can only go so far. I appreciate guys who build track-focused Integras, even though I don't like FWD. I appreciate people who are into hang gliding, even though I'd never strap myself to an oversized kite and jump off a cliff.

This, on the other hand....taking a reasonable car and a reasonable amount of cash and coming back with something unreasonable. He could have built a car like Shonen's. Instead, he built something that looks like a dog ate a paint box and then vomited all over it.

We could sit here and argue on technicalities all day, but that would be taking the thread off topic. Bottom line is its a subjective opinion, and neither of us are wrong because its all about personal perception of the situation.

PS. Fur-Fag... KAWAII!!! ^_^ kekekekekkeke desu desu desu desu desu desu desu let us continue this on /b/.

Hey its on fire...oh no its not :P

Seriously James it's ass and no just subjectively, technically as well. There is no cohesion at all, I cant figure out what the idea is...probably none. Roll cage and a big screen TV...WTF! 5inch taco yes taco mmmm mexican food, in the passenger footwell, yellow and black leather with matching yellow dash surrond with a 300k speedo :P . Man this thing is all over the place then top it of with the tail light swap and, what are they, GT-C Volks and the ghey flames. Man needed someone to tell him when he started to STOP! and have a think or buy a copy of option or hyper rev or HPI and "get on the trolley".

In the end it is his money and it is his expression so meh, just hope it doesnt park in my street

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By The Bogan · Posted

      HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
