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? |

Why be afraid of posting? I post my drivel, stir it up a bit and then sit back and watch the peanut gallery fight it out. Why do ya think I had all those crazy avatars at the beginning of the 914 sites?
Funny thing....the biggest bitcher about my avatars ended up starting the long running "hot chicks" thread in OT/Sandbox.....and now I'm being accused of censoring the over the top pics.... Times change....Paul should come back and not worry about the idjuts. Sift thru the crap and find the treasures...... Information is what you make of it. I was a convert to turbo charging air cooled motors. There is probably someone out there that will dispute it, but I'm pretty sure I coined the phrase, "you can't turbo a 914"....of course I drank quite a bit back then..... I know I did nickname Captain Crusty....anyways I digress..... I'm picking up a 74 2.0 tomorrow. I'm thinking of flaring it and going with wide chromies and hubcaps.... |
