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 believe that this question was posed at the right time Mark. Before the no turning back point we have sort of an eye opener. I did not check the views count to confirm this before I viewed this thread to confirm but I am sure everyone has read this at least once.
Short version: yes, maybe Long version:it is entirely possible that there is an "aura" of shut out or stifle the new guys with big aspirations. Granted this is the internet and for the most part doesn't REALLY matter, all the flaming, whatever I don't personally get worked up about it. In the same vein, we are all grown ass men aged probably early-mid twenties on. We can all take a flaming. Unless somebody is in danger of 1)hurting themselves , we're pretty good at picking up on inadequet jackstands or 2)about to make a catatrophic mistake of some sort, what that is I have no idea. we can sit back, lend advice from our own life experiences, be friendly, etc... And to my thread neighbor Mike to my immediate top somewhere: I hope you do build a wide chromie hubcappy flared car that makes purists wanna explode, It'll match my grey silver orange almost creamsicly thing that I will finish when I get to "Not I-wack" WA state. No B.s> I would love to see it and you do good work so why the hell not. Take care guys , Theres prolly a good quote for this somewhere.... |
