You know... I do not know NE1 on the forums (this forum)... in fact I have only met 2 guys face to face from IA, Mike being 1 of 'em. I'd like to think that I was "ahead of my time" in the import scene dreaming about custom mounts before there was a Place-Racing or a Hasport, boosting imports when there were no "kits" and no "b16 12 second recipes" like there are now. We did not have a lot of support then like we do now, but one thing that was better was the attitudes. Is this what the scene has come to? I mean for real... b/c if this internet gayness of bickering back and forth is the pinnacle of our scene then I'm fuckin' done. Seriously... there is ALWAYS somebody faster... ALWAYS. There is always somebody who can outdrive your ass no matter who you are, there is ALWAYS some1 who has more WHP, better ETs, a bigger cock.... Constructive criticism is always welcome, and I can tell that b18c1turboed is confident... no not knock on that, in fact, confidence is sexxi. But being cocky is another story, and we have enough "heat" from cops, the domestic community, and everyday life that would make me think I could come to this community and get nothing but decent tech advice, and a kool atmosphere to swap stories and share. There is no "destination" in this shit, it's all a journey. You can't spit at 622WHP like it's an underachiever. When you got companies like Full-Race losing a hatch on PINKS to a fuckin' NOBODY that tells you that there are many trials in this scene. There is enough room for us ALL to grow in this shit TOGETHER!! At the track, hell yeah it's for fuckin BLOOD... but on the FORUMS!!!??? I'm old school I guess... after I tap that ass at the track I'ma help you wrench on YOUR shit and tell you why you just got ya ass handed to ya. That's the way we did it back in the day. What the fuck happened?? The 1 mutha fucker on this forum that's unbeatable PM me and I'ma show you that you are. My point is there is no point in calling people out, or taking this shit personal. I am all about the competition, do not get me wrong. But no need in calling people out unless you wanna offer some help. Pouring water on a drowing man is just not kool IMO. SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET YOUR RIDE DO THE TALKING! If you're fast there is no need to have an ego, b/c the word will get out once you run. Let your ride do the talking. There are 347WHP single cams running 11s so what YOU know and what YOUR setup may be doesn't even matter. There are many diff recipes to success... and there has not been a project in my stable that was perfect on its maiden "flight". And as decent as my rides are, there is always room for improvement. If you're not telling me how to go faster, or get there quicker, then STFU. Anybody can complain about how fucked up something is, but at least in the same breath offer some solutions. And in b18citurboed's defense he did offer those solutions, it wasn't in the most userfriendly way, but he did. LOL. And yall can call me "soft" and flame or whatever, but it's shit like this that sets us all back as a community. It seems that the bigger we get, the more we forget about the cats we USED to roll with... we forget how happy we were when we got that CAI on a bone-stock motor. ALWAYS remeber your humble beginnings... if you always remember your humble beginnings, you will never downtalk some1 else's success, even if it's a whole lot less than where you are now. My .02
