DFD

Hello.

Name's Aleks [Alex] and I'm 27 with an unhealthy relationship with $20 burgers.

I currently live in Sweden and have a few years in Engineering at a certain Swedish company mostly known for their cars.
Found this place through [user not found]'s signature on TCL and would occasionally lurk, but decided to sign up as I'll soon relocate to North Carolina.

Car history is quite sparse but I've had a Clio RS 172, a Turbo Yaris R with DSGay (yes, I actually read the dictionary) that I stupidly got rid of to get myself in a sad company car [current].







Now I can't wait to get my slightly oversized butt into something fun again and try a day at VIR or Tail of the Dragon.

Oh, and ask away!

IKEA makes cars now?

OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

Hi! So neat to have you on the forum! Welcome and enjoy the many faces of DFD. Are you permanent resident or just on a work visa? I assume buying a car means you'll be there for a while.

Nice R! Any work done to it while you owned it or was it stock?

Ohh shitt! My uncle had that same gen clio over in Turkey. But his in particular was a real piece, seat adjustments doesnt lock in on passenger side (so kept rocking back and forth), it even broke down and had to push the car when I was 17. Really falling apart, he dumped it for a seat toledo 1.8t

Hej!!
You've really done your DFD homework! Most
Where in Sweden are you? I've been to Stockholm and Uppsala some years ago and loved them. We will get back to Sweden eventually. Good food, people, museums, clean, low crime, women, etc.

I was hoping for Koeniggssegg but I'll take a Saab engineer.

I’d be lying if I didn’t deliberately post that for towing comments.

Work visa but being family-free I have no real plan when to return, or if I’ll ever do.

It was a lease so just a JB1.
Had plans for lowering springs and spacers but had to get rid of it after just over a year so it never happened.
Also, the 19 y/o who took over the lease totaled it in less than 3 months.

Yah, the other, defunct one.

Also, was your uncle’s an RS? They’re really popular further south on the continent.

Hola!

I’m in Stockholm and I agree, it’s a great place.
Traffic may be an absolute pile of poo as well as the housing market, but I like it.
Although it’s far from the best place to live in if you’re into cars IMHO.

Why would you move to bumfuck USA from one of the best places on earth? You're going back in time 200 years.

Maybe he's tired of 5/7 health care and a robust welfare system.

Ahh saab

They are and no, it was just a regular 1.4 clio, he only had it for 2 months. But he had a Peugeot 106 GTI as far as french hot hatches are concerned. I was 10 when he had it, he once picked me up from school and hooned the shit out of that car.

Also I met a fellow Murican when I was in Berlin for a trade show couple years back, and he somehow told me I have no desire to leave.

What did the JB1 do for the R?

Also on the broken egg, it's a good example why beginner drivers shouldn't be operating 300hp things.

I’m glad I won’t stand alone in front of the DFD Towing Jury.

That Fiesta is but why are they so difficult to find with Recaros in the US?

Motorsport says ~40whp for the

Never verified it myself but can say that it definitely brought back the when using Launch Control after having gotten used to stock power launches.

Because he automotive media said that the stock seats were good (they’re wrong).

Mine has Recaros and it’s definitely a rarity in the community
