Bape Culture posted:Yeah because no oem car is actually good I remember speaking to a friend many many years ago, when I was newly-apprenticed as a mechanic. I said something along the lines of "those Eunos 800Ms are kind of a piece of poo poo, huh". He replied to me, "yes, but I'll let you in on a secret. They're all pieces of poo poo".

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Hot take - if you dont have the ability to keep a rotary going, you dont have the ability to engine swap. It's not like it's THAT different too. Fair, but people *have* swaps done for lesser reasons. quote:Dickheads. The only vaguely okay Ford 6 for a swap is a Barra. Well, see, we don't get Barras, so your point is moot. Honestly, it's a decent V6. What are they, 290 HP without going to the Ecoboost? Though I'd not bother since there's plenty of room for a V8, so why not just do that in the first place. Makes more sense in, say, an AE86 where a V8 requires Astroglide and a shoehorn. Though there, you... put a rotary in, duh. Humphreys posted:Oh, what printer?

I would buy a glass replica of an engine but I’d better be able to smoke weed out of that thing.

Base it on one of those lovely old magna motors with the crappy rings, then your mate can pull the blowby from the crankcase breather like a multibong.

You can cache out a bowl in one blow with a 2L soda bottle with a finger sized bunghole and a smoke shop bowl+screen tapped into the lid, Pack, fill, cap, light, drain the bottle. Then grip it and rip it baybee. Basically I'm saying college me had the same displacement as my wife's Subaru.

What poo poo did I see pulling out of my area? It looked expensive, but also kinda like a BRZ with an inflation fetish. Plus, they had the rear fog light on in perfectly fine conditions.

Dunno what happened there, almost like they designed it from the back and ran out of time/energy when they got to the front. It just needs a little bit more anything going on.

Doesn't look terrible from a 3/4 front view. I feel like most cars looking straight on it never really does them justice.

If it wasn't an Aston Martin it would be fine from the back, but that's not really what I think of when I think of their "style"
