For pete's sake guys, let's quit with the friggin useless threads. On PAGE ONE right now are:

X WING FIGHTER engine in 944 NA?

928 engine in a 944

F-16 engine in my 944?

Mclaren f1 engine in my N/A?

Going Diesel

Honda B16 VTEC in my 944 ?

Toyota Prius Hybrind Engine in my N/A?

B-52 Engine in my n/a

How about a pair of hampsters swapped for my 944S motor.

Space shuttle solid rocket booster on NA?


All that does is push down legitimate threads that someone posted and may need help right away or something else important, but doesn't get read because it gets bumped to page 2 and those who are in the know to answer the question do not see it.

For instance, my thread the other day on vaccum lines got thrown to page 2 in less then an hour. Ridiculous.

Thanks,
Matt

Not two seconds after I post this, "n/a engine in my n/a?" gets posted.

Fellas!

guys, we have a useless threads forum. its called "off-topic" you should really check it out sometime. although i'm guilty of bumping them, the first couple were somewhat funny... now its just out of control.

This is the EXACT reason why about a year ago I started posting nonsense stories and commentary in posts where people post totally off topic crapola.

Initially, I complianed about the OT crap, but was lambasted by several Rennlisters that said "It's OK", "It adds to the flavor of Rennlist", yadda, yadda, yadda. (case in point, look for a post called "I'm bored" or some crap like that, from last year. I was totally blasted for telling the poster he should take posts like that to the OT forum)

So I decided that complaining got me nowhere, so I started posting drivel to their drivel.

I look forward to the day I can stop.

1. The chip stays in the car. When you told me you didn't need it, I was fine with that. When you said you needed it again, it is already too late, I'm in the middle of driving season with it. Sorry.

2. The brake parts and spindles are a freebie for anyone local, I do not want to ship them as they are heavy and will be a biznatch for me to mess with and package.

I thought I answered all of this already. If not, I apologize.

Thanks John D!

A little OT is fun but that was just way too much, I was worried that Tifo would run out of material!
