Well, the capitilist pigs were the ones that answered...here, we are just pigs. Or at least just me and JP.

Ha ha.. somebody scan the magazine pic and really light up Tims ass...LOL

We have been doing this for 20+ years.. adding the brace (only to race cars)

Eddie:

I am with you. I go online and post to forums to look for help. I do not go looking for advice on what book to buy to answer my questions.

I think Tim could have posted a picture (vs. posting the text from the entire magazine and all accompanying photos). Instead he chose to whine.

If I were a woman and you were my African-American girlfriend, I would say... "You go girl!"

Ha ha!

Later!

Eddie, you can buy a piece of software from me that i wrote that will hack into their website and give you FREE access to all their information.

hope this answers all your questions,
Andy

is this really flexing THAT much?
i have jumped onto the brakes a few times and didn't feel any obvious flex.

Andy

I got one of my posts deleated from the PP 914 board because I referenced the on-line manual you can download here. Im sick of their "you can call Pelican, we carry it" shit. I understand the whole reasoning behind it all, it just makes it tough to hang out there and really get something out of it when everytime you try to source an item you here somebody saying Pelican has it, buy from them to help support the site. Fuck that I need to support my 914, not somebody elses wallet

Now Andy, thats the kind of information I like to hear. Do I really have to brace this??

Eddie,

Pelican forums definitely are a "marketing" site for the company. They do not like people posting information linking to competitors. I have seen threads deleted, etc.

I accept those "rules" and continue to post there. But then there are places like this where all info is exchanged freely. Hey, I'm considering turning my tranny stuff into a book. I doub't I'd be an ass about it. Kinda stupid if you think about it.

Where you post is up to you. I wouldn't blame Pelican for Suddard. But you do need to understand Pelican is a business and the forums are something to pull you there.

James

It does flex.. but it depends on how rusty your tub was to begin with. It adds a few mm's of difference when you first stab the pedal. Its a confidence booster.. that is about it.

Red,

No, I understand, but I've never heard anyone at PP say something like, "yes we've done it, but buy Wayne's book to find out how". And they sure the hell have never accused a potential customer of trying to rip them off and keep their kids out of college.

Eddie

Alfred back, Andy he got through may day, may day

uh oh, here we go again. check out his vin #

Actually I think he was more on to the girl-on-girl action thing!

I'll agree, he was being an ass. He lost a customer and potential subscriber, and yes, you'll get the information anyway.

Stupid.

And on the 911 board, you DO get stuff like that. I got really pissed when I asked how to install the rear window. Several people (no one from Pelican) posted "Buy the 101 Projects book and find out".

THIS WAS THE CAR FEATURED IN THE 101 PROJECTS BOOK. ANd the rear window was not installed properly....

I will say that Wayne does push his Engine rebuild book, a lot, in the Engine rebuild forum.

James

Dude, the Bird board has it unwritten rules. You got to follow them. They are a business, and need to follow the precepts of a business.

For the record, I don't think what they said was so wrong, they gave you the principle of what you needed to get done, and pointed out a resource that evidently has it detailed out for you. I'm certain you could also have this part of the discussion on it being nessessary there also.

I'm here, full of cheeseburgers.



uhhg..



M

New rule... you cant be on the PP BBS and HERE unless your siganture has the URL for this site in it...LOL

B

Can't you block that shit head's IP address?

Oh that's unkind... somekind.. fun kind..


M

Brad,

I'm in!

...vew

Zois,

we've banned every IP address he uses, and email addresses and names...He's gone so far as to change providers in the past to get past a banned ip address.

Mike, the IP blocking on this BBS isnt working and we dont have access to the routers/firewalls this sits behind.


B

Looks great Eddie. DD does it everywhere he posts.... ALL of us can do it also...LOL



B

he doesn't have a fixed IP, keeps changing ...

Instead of banning him, send his IP to all members, or post it.




M

a 914club DOS attack on him, eh?

Andy,

I've chosen to use my powers for the cause of good, er, well the US Government, anyway. lol

But I'm here for moral support! LOL

...vew

Uhmmm.. Yep!

Lessee if I can remember how ping works...


M

God dammit that Alfred stole my GRM angst!!!

He ROOOLs over there


M

all you have to do is increase the Package-Size from 32 bytes to something more effective, 8192 bytes or so and run it in a loop ...

then tell all your friends to do the same.
you'll need a few machines at the same time to bring down a target server/workstation.

ping xx.xx.xx.xx -l 8192 -t

Andy

I couldn't remember the -switch- commands..

Thanks!


M

heh


M

Anybody know where the little douchebag lives?

How many years did he spend building 911 motors to gain the knowledge to write a book? Which shops did he work at? BSD

"Back Seat Driver",
i was about to say "Welcome" and then the post is gone. wtf?

Andy

ok, let's try this again

Welcome, interesting first post ...
Andy

yupp

A mathematically irrelevent post none the less.

He spent 2 years emailing/talking too everyone he could find with any inkling on how to build a 911 engine. Several people I know (6-8) are engine builders with whom he consulted. Not a single one of them where recognized in the book even though he quoted them almost word for word.

Bruce Anderson wannebe.


B

So you are saying he has never actually built a 911 motor? BSD

Im sure he has built a few engines, but the info in the books is just compiled from other books already printed. I've heard it is a useful book. Alfred, I believe lives in Vancouver BC, which happens to be very ethnically diverse, with a huge Indian (from India, not Native Americans) population. I wonder how he lives his daily life knowing there are tons of inorities living and working all around him?

That would be lying. He took the Woods class after the book was written and was sent to the publisher.


B

ouch

Not you (Chris).. I would be lying if I said he hadnt built ANY 911 engines.


B

Helpful tonite aren't we?

The rebuilt engine, the subject of the book was recently sold....it allegedly had some oil leaks....

Is that Red-Beards car that he bought from Wayne?

plagarizing is a BIG deal in publishing/academic communities. that's truly f-cked up if other engine builders weren't recognized for their contributions to a published work.

i just had to flunk a kid out of my class here at Stanford because i caught him plagarizing.... he was going to go to medical school. not anymore. he'll be lucky if they let him finish his degree. bummer.
