no no, i don't mind explaining my opinion or experience, after all this is what forum is for right? I will do a review on it as soon as i get it and put it on. u've been a very good Mod, not trying to suck up or anything, but u guys r a lot better than clubrsx. keep up the good job! good day

I thought it had more to do with the drive by wire?

I've always wondered how fast that servo can get the throttle-plate open. It would be interesting to see it tested. As I've heard it explained, the volume of the plenum really affects "response" because the plenum is effectively a "bucket" of air that gets emptied when you go to WOT. The faster that bucket empties, the poorer your response. After that, it becomes a function of the intakes ability to keep up with airflow demand. I could be misunderstanding the concepts though.

Well, alright. A premier member that is going to get banned for cussing out another member. Let's see what happens with this one.

it would be cussing if the words were actually spelled out. Maybe ppl should get banned for too many negative posts or the same stupid insults that would attempt to make one seems as if their opinions actually are to mean something yet others don't is all i am sayin...

Since he seems to be your buddy tell him to step off !

You see, you can't actually type them out because it would get astericked out (**********). I'll let him know that you would like for him to step off.

Bypassing the language filters is a violation of the ToU Malic. It's handled on a case by case basis, obviously, but when it's 'language' directed at another member, you need to stop. Thanks.

Oh so they have an auto edit on cuss words anyways - nice.

I shouldn't have gotten upset but i read some of his bs while trying to read useful information on many a thread and then his lil crappy statement kinda pissed me off. I am really not the one, i always try to refrain from being a jerk but then again different strokes different folks.

Hope I don't get banned for stating my opinion and shakin' off a punk-imo.

I was just laughing at the fact that you haven't even been here 2 months and want to implement new rules. I wasn't even serious about it.

Maybe if you weren't holding up that big, long, heavy missile you could type more.

I'm pretty sure about half aren't "bullsh!t or smart@ss Comments". Why don't you go through and check for me mmm-kay? I think there is like a three to one ratio...

Why? It's what I do best.


EDIT: lol at "shaking off a punk" and "step off"
