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? |

Well this thread has covered a lot.
Re: Search and common probs etc- perhaps we could start a thread of FSTs (Frequently searched topics) where we start adding particularly successfull searches on an ever expanding list of links. Doezat make sense? Regarding people and hurt feelings- its true we can get a little, um, terse, but I hope everyone is grown up enough to realize the whole world ain't like them. I like a little discourse occaisionaly, as long as it has legitimate -like technical- basis. Name calling is pointlesss, but theory is open to question and people are open to theorize too- sort of a built in, but conflicting, process. I definitely like to see folks pushing the boundaries. I bet that LAmbo door setup would actually make anyone look twice and grin in actual use. But I disagree that the forum doesn't usually embrace the experimental. I mean, we are all over wierd frikkin 914s. I think evryone gets pissy sometimes though, and the whole BBS is built on momentum of wanting to respond to a comment, so pissy coments begat more and/or reactive comments etc. But I welcome all you wierdos into my house at the end of evry day and often the morning too, and would IRL as well.
