Because overall, it's still a fantastic car despite its shortcomings.

I should post a link to the build thread on another forum I'm on where a guy is transplanting a turbo'd VW VR6 engine into his 964... that'd really make your head asplode.

Guys, I don't want to have to close this thread, it should be a tech thread about the original posters build. It would probably be an interesting build to all if you would cease bickering.
So perhaps we stop beating this very dead horse and move on.

Fiero, your going to get many differing opinions on what to do or not to do. Just relax and do want You want, its your car. You might want to be a little nicer to those that moderate the forum.

FF.....here is the deal. #1 cool topic and I'm following this. #2 In a 13 year old kinda way someone can't stand someone taking away his thunder because he thinks that he is a super duper DYI'r. Thing is some regs have grown tired of his infinite wisdom.

Read through all the posts and you will see who it is. His efforts are to derail the thread.....and its not Marc. Keep posting please.

And if MARC closes this thread in say 6mos because HE doesn't like our opinions. Then what, I've wasted all my time. I'm going to check out RennTech. Maybe their Moderaters are better Behaved.

Fierofly,

I have been reading Rennlist and the 996 forum in particular and really I think I have seen only one or two threads closed over the thousands I have seen and I think both of them where on the infamous ***

I really don't think there is a risk to have your archive work closed on Rennlist, at least based on my past experience here.

Talk to Marc directly, I don't see why he would close the thread, which is soooo cool !

The thing is this is a tech forum, this is not a build thread it's 5 pages of arguing. We have a great off topic forum for that.
My intent was to try and get it back in track, Generally I am quite hands off with most threads. I have zero bias.
Rennlist is a community and a damn good one, be part of it or not. Your choice but spare me the drama.
Generally you start calling people names and your gone but the members have an interest in your build so I will let it go, it's their forum. This is not your thread, it's everyone's. that's Rennlist.


If your heading to renntech give Loren my best.
