... I’m not the MS3-driving OP that you first replied to, you illiterate twit...

Attempting to avoid association != hating lmao

I absolutely did. Rolling slowly through a stop is pretty much par for the course around the world, and quite frankly, as long as you’re following the spirit of the law, it’s an inconsequential difference unless you’re a representative of the forces of law and order at the end of the month. There has yet to be any…

REMEMBER, Right on Red is illegal as a blanket rule in three North American municipalities: Montreal, Mexico City, & New York. The rest have it legal, unless otherwise indicated at the light.

All that post showed was that you’ve got an ego complex about your MS6. The guy just said he avoided the loud/noticeable mods to avoid looking like the stereotypical douche MS3 owner (which I can fully sympathise with - my friend’s RSTi is rolling on stock WRX wheels, stock ride height, de-winged, and with a varex for…

Pretty much. Hell, my MR2 was at the garage last week regarding some clutch difficulties (intermittent slippage). Tech called me to discuss what they did, said he was going to test drive it. I straight up said “look, I need to know how the clutch is, go to a nearby empty road and try to launch it”. Sometimes you need…

Thanks for the nightmare material, Skay! :)

You haven’t experienced Quebec roads... Lets just say that I’ve been in “Third world” (Indonesia) and war-torn (Serbia) countries with better roads than my upper-middle-class suburban neighborhood.

Balljoints & wheel bearings, count on those being done with every timing belt under good circumstances, and sooner if you…

This is why we can’t have nice things...

As a guy in the aviation business, he phrased it properly. The heli can operate at a maximum of 14k ft in ideal conditions (minimal cargo), with a maximum of approximately 10k when fully loaded.

>We do know for sure the car is being co-developed with BMW. Both companies have worlds of experience with both turbochargers and V6s

Ford 302? I had one in my old 96 Eddie Bauer Explorer, and if there was one engine I could count on to start every morning (that isn’t my 4A MR2), it would have to be that loud and rumbly 302!

Isn’t there a 6-second manual DSM running around in the states? On my phone atm, but fairly certain I’ve seen the dude on 1320...

Can confirm, when I was dating my last gf, we started while I was between cars and cruised in an automatic E46. Then I got another AW11 as a daily, and we just shifted together! Not winning races that way, but it was cute and besides, owning an automatic MR2 would be like being hung, but fainting every time you get…

Depends where you’re starting. 200-205hp, doubt it, but if you’re looking at an old VW beetle, 40hp-45hp is ~11% bump!

Can confirm Canada housing prices can be expensive, while a nice house in suburban Montreal can be found for ~$500k, if you’re looking around Toronto or Vancouver, that number increases to ~$900k+. You can still technically get a house for more reasonable money, but only if you want to live in some bumblefuck town…

I know where you’re coming from on this. One of my AW11's is a mostly-stock supercharged making ~160 hp. The other is a former NA model that got a heart-transplant from a ‘91 Turbo, with some goodies added on, and was making 260-ish whp on the old block (currently under rebuild).

As much fun as I had with the swap (and…

Some people do.

Then there are people who buy the car, realise they have an image after 6 months, and say “fuck it, at this point I like it too much”

Only if you get off to the idea of building stuff and mining rocks! If you like pretty space explosions, on the other hand...
