Only certain Porsche enthusiasts; the ones I have met in person have been perfectly normal.

I wish. Then I could feel entitled, and I could present myself as you do, and not feel guilty about it.

Congratulations on locating your dictionary, and using an online spell checker.

As to education, it matters not what level you reach, but rather whether you continue to use your brain as time passes.

Were I sufficiently interested in you (which I am not), I would check out your "educated" posts to become better informed. Now, go back into your hole.

What a THREAD HIJACK....

This thread is for THOSE people that own a car with a leaking hydraulic lift cylinder and want a solution to fix the factory system.. Nothing more, nothing less..

For those folks that want to KEEP the factory system intact and functioning "I" have a solution that I have spent time and money on to bring to the market.

Anyone interested can email me kevin@ultimatemotorwerks.com

NOTE: This kit requires that you remove and send me your lift cylinder OR you can disassemble the lift cylinder (save my labor) and send me the Cartridge assy. Additionally, you will have to charge and bleed the system with Pentosin.

That is a very reasonable question. With the possible exception of maybe one of the "hot hatch" type cars (STi, Golf R, Focus RS, etc.), the demographic most likely to use/abuse the power in a street car simply can't afford the cars capable of meeting their "requirements." This perhaps pushes them towards the resale market for cars like old M3s, 996 TT, etc., however the cost of upkeep on these used cars is often a stretch for these people, as well.

So that leaves a few well-off people who track their street vehicles, plus a whole lot more people who buy these high powered cars, for whatever reasons. I would suggest that I am somewhere in that group.

Who wants to own a car that you have to wring out every last little bit of capacity to do a high speed pass on a two lane road? I don't. Are there other performance aspects of a car like the 996TT that are there, other than the excessive drive train power? Of course there are. The handling is very good, and the hydraulic steering gives really good feedback. Plus, occasionally, one does push it with the car, just for fun.

Not a complete answer, but my answer. P

Here is how you could have replied in this thread, and have sold more of your product (which I have every reason to believe is a good product, by the way).

You could be civil. You could acknowledge that you are selling something, and that this perhaps is not an altruistic endeavor.

But from what I have seen, I'll never do business with you, that much is clear. And yes, I am a businessperson and my business sells things to the public, so it isn't like I have no clue about those sorts of things.

Good luck with your product.


******************Addendum********************

Kevin,

It has been pointed out to me by another forum member that I responded to you as being the manufacturer of this electric RAM setup, when in fact you are NOT. I was confused because another member used your name in his post a few posts above, in a way that led me to that conclusion. I also misread your post to imply that, again, my error. Therefore, my comments to you were improper, and I apologize for making them.

Since the beginning of internet forums, in fact dating back to "Usenet," businesspersons have used consumer forums to promote their own interests, often when this is not obvious. I am, perhaps, hypersensitive to this issue, being as I have seen a lot of abuse of it over many years, which is why I responded as I did.

Nonetheless, I was wrong, and I apologize to you for my comments.

I'm super stoked for these to come out Kevin! I'll have to wait for the screw blocks are ready to do mine. I too think it's cool to be able to restore a system on the car to work as intended.
