    I think the intake manifold sticking out of the low-car is honestly a redeeming factor. Some may hate it, but I think it fits the low-car, and gives it that self made style and swagger. The hi-car, while still awesome, just looks more pro made, like not someone at home made it, but still looks cool.

      I am not a car expert by any stretch of the imagination but, to me, it feels like sticking the intake in front of the radiator is not the best idea in the world. I mean, it might be fine, presumably they didn't have any issues with cooling.. but I feel there is definitely going to be lower air pressure in front of the radiator with that setup.

    • @derpnerpwerp
      @derpnerpwerp Před 6 měsíci

      @lordzed83 from what I see online they are placed adjacent to the radiator, not directly in front of it. But apparently they do sell after market air intake vents to place over the grill. Which I would feel is preferable to breathing air that has passed over the radiator
      Anyway, like I said.. I'm sure it's probably fine.. it just seems suboptimal to me as a laymen. I know most of the cars I've owned just sucked air in from the engine compartment (these were trucks and you could see the ground under the hood so... now I own an 86)

A lot of the time men are expected to provide, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s the only one working but ofc it can, but they are expected to make more money & be the main financial provider of the house. With how inflation has gone in the past up until now it makes it a bit harder for someone making average & even slightly above average salary to do their more expensive hobbies that they’d like to enjoy. salaries have only on average 2x’d & inflation trumps that by a bit on housing at least it has 10x’d & that alone is all that’s really needed to shift middle class people to lower class people, etc etc.

      I don't think Rich Rebuilds makes any swap look easy. He explains the amount of work it took to put a LS in a Tesla and make it look good.

      For sure. As someone who's looking at getting his first miata, I cannot overstate the value of an honest look at car work. It's sobering and encouraging and educational.

      Sadly, this is becoming rare in America. People are paranoid and jealous of each other and sharing ideas and makes them immediately think someone is trying to fleece them or control them. The 19080's was the last decade of freedom without the paranoia. Someone should do a documentary comparing average life in the 1980s and modern day.
