    What vehicle do you drive?

    VW, Fiat, Mini, Subaru, BMW. America doesn't get a whole lot in the wagon department. If you're OK with used, the CTS-V wagon is badass, but insanely rare with a manual.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    A million people think they're gluten intolerant. That doesn't make them correct. I've lived the modded car scene for over 20 years now. If you want power, tune. If you want safety, tune. If you want simplicity and noise, don't tune. Just trying to offer sound advice and help some brothers out.

    Modding for power? Yes, tune. Modding for turbo whoosh and a tiny kick? Nah. I'd rather play it safe though.

    28mm Miniature Tabletop Wargaming Thread

    Would love to have an updated game system for Necromunda or Mordheim. Skirmish battles - to me - were a ton of fun and my favorite GW game was Gorka Morka, because of the progression and evolution of the characters you have in your party.

    I think you're going to be right, on a lightly modded car which - since this is much more common - has an ECU that adjusts AFR based on some factors like gas quality and altitude.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Adding intakes and headers/downpipe changes the air to fuel ratios and can lean out the motor in a very dangerous way. Products that don't require tunes also don't add any measurable power to speak of, which is why no tune is required to take advantage of said increase in air or exhaust. So, yes...

    You think he'll get that without a tune? Maybe VWs are safer, but all my previous cars needed tunes to be safe with downpipes/intakes/headers.

    And kill the warranty, if that matters. Heko is right, though; the cost to modify wouldn't be worth it.

    Shia LaBeouf protest of Trump

    Trump is what we call a Conservative (the Republican party generally are). Conservatives prefer to enact policies that allow people to protect what they've worked hard for, enable business to grow, and retain liberties and freedoms. Liberals like to take things away from those who work hard and...

    I eventually saw that information too. Hilarious that it's so compromised. It's turning into something that would be fun once in a while, instead of a great all-around car. Oh well!

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Yup, stock. I've never tracked it and probably won't until May or June and driving enthusiastically isn't the problem. I don't ride or slip the clutch either. It's just a weak point in the design due to the combination of - underrated - HP/TQ and weight. The team that is fixing it now is...

    Car Buying Help

    Bang for your buck, the base GTi will be a much better purchase than the R. At that price level, you could get a C6Z06 if you wanted speed and handling, or a Lexus LS if you wanted luxury. Otherwise, like others have stated, the VW brand has risen in cost with a few of their models, that isn't...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Hahaha, right on man. You're absolutely right about the model list though. Far too many to keep track of and I'm a car nut. If the Charger came with a manual, I'd have picked that in a heartbeat over the Challenger. I love the idea of a nasty 4 door that most people don't expect. If I can get...

    No need to have a HC, honestly. I did it for myself after a divorce and a move. Said "fuck it" to professional appearances (financial advisor and I roll up in a bright red noise machine with a license plate that says EVLKITY) and I just have fun. A Scat Pack is even too much for most, with...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The issue with mine - from what I've gathered from other owners - is the fact that it's a twin plate clutch and it ends up glazing the discs and then slipping. On hard launches, the car just spins so it's not such a big deal. But, when you add drag radials and hook up hard, the clutch becomes...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Awesome find. Every once in a while, people come across a gem like that. It may have only cost you $7k, but you ARE driving an expensive car (the CD changer is pretty funny though, these days). On the fence. It'll cost far too much and dealers will add crazy ADM over sticker. I don't really...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    It was originally designed for the Viper, which has less torque and weights about 1,000 pounds less as well. But, it was the strongest that Dodge had so, in it went. The fact that it's a warranty replacement helps, but for any serious driving I'll need something stronger. Normal cars definitely...

    I'll join the car repair party; new clutch being installed after 10,900 miles. This one will go out in about 8-9k miles too, but it's under warranty, so I'm ambivalent for now. I'll need to move up to a Tilton or RPS for the next one. I miss being able to tinker on my own cars, however. Times...

    Tried to do a multi-quote to save space....failed!! It's actually is Redline, but that was under some fairly bright pole lamps. Sepia interior - which I didn't want initially, but I wouldn't give up now - and sun roof - which I also didn't care about...but there it is and I like it. If I had to...

    Put away my leathers in 2006 and haven't seen them since. On the street, it was just too dangerous and I was certainly taking too many risks. I'll stick to dirt bikes if I need that fix.

    Yup. It's my daily driver, currently. Moved from So Cal to Houston in May and decided I needed a more 'Merican car. It's a lot of fun. Wow, that picture came out terrible on the forum.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I have. Obviously, it's not as common as a Miata. But, it's not hard at all. I'm just trying to set expectations about the car and it's potential. If you don't spend a lot of money on it, it'll be nothing more than a purpose built _______ and it'll show.

    Most Fox Body Mustangs are garbage and unless you want to spend 6 figures like Matt did, you won't be getting much to speak about. Now, if your goal is to go 10's in the quarter mile, you can do that in a Fox Body for under $10,000. If you want to rip up the road course or auto cross, you can do...

    The new Fords are really cool cars; Focus ST/RS, Fiesta ST, GT350, and GT are hot. I've never owned a Ford, but I've been trying to find a GT350R since they came out and still can't get one without a $15,000-$20,000 or more mark up. But, Porsche is also releasing the 991.2 GT3 with a manual, so.....

    Beast Master hawk, right? Regardless of how OP he is now, that'll change soon. There's far too much uproar about his current design for it to last long. And, it's unlikely he'll be playable for a tournament or Major for a while.

    Space Hulk: Deathwing

    Seems like a fairly easy patch, to make the AI more random? I dunno, but if the core mechanics are there (and multi-player is the draw anyway) then changing some scripting and coding to have the 'Nids trigger randomly, or not run at you in a straight line - instead, from all directions, like...
