diff board for sure.

not many ppl there who really exercise their cars or too many working on their own cars. hp rating is very importnat.

very high "entertainment" value, i stopped watch TV everynight.

to each his own.

well, that's only b/c you haven't attempted to do a 4.0L x91 TT stage 9 motor mod. i think that's good for 918hp at the rear wheels. i am doing a 4.2L GT3RS, so i now frequent 7speedDSGonline.

Hwy 880 around bay area has a LOT of traffic too. that doesn't say very much.

Crap.

I'm not sure what's going on, but now I can't log in! Tried resetting password and brought me to a new screen. Can't log in w/ new reset password or old.

This site administratively stinks.

I'm glad I saw this thread. I didn't know there was a waiting period. Unfortunately, all I wanted to do is pay a guy $3K for his wheels but since I can't tell him I'm interested I'll look elsewhere!!

The 6speed admins saw this thread! Maybe they've banned you

I just posted my first on 6speed 2days ago. I am also new to Rennlist.
Content for performance is great @ 6speed, but seems a little heavy on the "dude how awesome"
Is there an edicate to follow as a new member? I feel awkward and could use some advice.

I think as a new member posting it is nice to say so ie "newbie" question or somthing like that. People on both boards will give you the answers to any questions you may have and nothing is too trivial or stupid.
I would feel free to post any questions you have with regards to your car or whatever as long as it is in a civil and polite manner it will be answered as such.
Posts also with regards to any of your driving or mechanical experiences are welcome as well.

Welcome to both boards, looking forward to some of your posts, jump in when you feel comfortable

"Dude," welcome aboard.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Welcome to both boards. I belong to both boards and like both for different information. I have to agree the rep point system is a downside to posting there. I got negative reps from a guy no longer on the board for politely showing examples of a counter argument which others promptly agreed with. Seems pretty random. Like any internet board you weed through a lot of stuff and find there is some good sharing on both boards.

I am also a 996TT newbie and have found help from members on both boards, when I was searching for the car, doing a long distance PPI, and now with advice on how to thin my wallet. Tom's advice is right on, if you politely ask for help, people respond with help.

There are actually alot of 6speeders that track their cars including myself. But your saying that since I am not mechanically inclined I am less of a Porsche enthusiast than you?? I don't think so!

i enjoy both of these sights but they are very different as others have stated. seems like in the last yr 6speed has been inundated with 14-18 yr olds who have commandeered the board to a degree with "Saweet ride" and "shiznit" comments.......unfortunate and aggravating at times

I was scanning 6speed and ran across a poll of "How many Porsche's have you owned" I was suprised there were several responses by 16-20yr olds....
Of which did not even own a Porsche..... yet posted
I can appreciate people who are interested and want to know more
before purchasing... But can't understand responded to a thread and
not even an owner. Go Figure

I agree that the youngsters are alittle annoying, but what do you say without coming across like a bad guy? One 6speed member was a little ticked off at a kid making dumb remarks on his thread and said" you are 15 years old, please exit my thread"...Short and sweet...Kevin

A lot of 14-17yo kids on Dad's computer. The best is the list of current/past rides on their signatures!
