This forum is a great place to share ideas and get some feedback. Over the years we have built up a broad base of 'common knowledge'. The problem with common knowledge is that it can stifle creativity. For example, we just had a thread about large bore four cylinder motors, and it immediately received the standard response (myself included). It was also suggested that the place to talk about new and experimental ideas for these motors is another site.
I'm just worried that people are afraid to post about their new ideas, for fear of being told why it won't work, why they should have done something else, etc. In fact I know of one person who sent out a really cool email about some 914 work he did, but didn't post it here for exactly the reason above. What's the 914World like from your perspective? |

I'm with ya.
The Lambo doors comes to mind as well. Poor guy. To be slammed by Alphy of all people, Mr. Titanium, 130mph 1.7L, go around a corner parts are fallen-off, I like bang'n single moms that know how to cook, TVA wreck'n Ne'er do well... give me a break. There was more creativity in that guys 4 posts than I've seen from the bragadocious Logan in two years. And frankly why would anyone give a shit if someone wants a massive -4 or a massive -6? They both cost massive bucks. I'm a six guy through and through but I would cry seriously hard, laughing my ass off, watching a stock -4 with a driver smoke the living shit out of a -6 with a wallet at the next autocross course (and yes; I've seen it happen). |
