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 have never really gotten into anything heated with someone here, partly because its retarded to fight on the intenet, but mostly because I don't care. 4 vs. 6...who cares? NARP vs. "real porsche"...who cares?? Someone who thinks a 6 is better than a 4 will NEVER be persuaded otherwise, and vice versa, so why waste the typing time. To the guys who dont think my 914's a real porsche, thats fine. I didn't buy my car for that guy, and its a real car to me which is all that matters.
I'm reading Alpha's post about the TI stuff and I'm wondering why he holds a grudge? To the people who didn't think it would work, fine, ignore them and talk with the guys who do. I really don't see it as a personal attack or you're right and they are wrong.... but why waste one more second worrying about anyone who disagrees, 50 threads later my guess is that both will still think the same thing. Stifling Creativity? maybe its just me but if that is what you think someone is doing, ignore them! |
