At the end of the day, if you publish content for the internet, and can't handle or don't want to handle the BS, the opinions, the hate, the etc etc, then you best stay off the damn internet. Doesn't matter if it's for cars, if it's for guns, for shoes, for sports, for music. If you're going to put yourself out there in a medium where there's little to no response control, little to no regulation, especially a forum, or even worse youtube, that's what you get. The most successful and the least successful in these areas all have to deal with it... Nobody forces you or anyone else to post stuff up.

With all due respect, if you post things on social media, especially with buko hashtags, you're asking for it. That's how social media works. If you want a distilled good response only response, go call your mom and get off the internet.

Brian, you're a professional I gather. You're just going to have to plug your nose, shut your eyes and swallow all the bullchit. It comes with the territory. If you don't like it, then you should probably figure out a different marketing strategy.

I'm not saying it's right, or it's fair, but that's how it is. This is kind of like if a guy is all butt-hurt about "being in the friend zone", and complaining about having to hear about a girls problems of sleeping around and nobody wanting her. If you don't like what's happening don't keep repeating the same actions. Or like when you go to the doctor saying "when I do this it hurts" and he tells you to stop doing that chit. I don't post stuff about my car for that very reason. The positive praise doesn't mean much, and the negative is just stupid and annoying. The inputs also are annoying and usually senseless, and the badgering is un-needed too. Maybe if I had a business that could profit from my car, it would be different. But at the end of the day nobody is making me post more crap about my car, so I don't.

wont be a problem.
My truboost (controller) lost its tune w all the electrical issues i had been having.. so Im stuck at 7bs waste gate spring at the moment. When its re tuned and powerful again i will certainly have a ballsier video clip and shoot for you.
It just takes time and takes money, two things im very short on at the moment tbh.

I feel you. I know how it is, sometimes it helps to get reminded that it's just part of the game, you know? That it's not just YOU getting all this BS. Everyone does lol. When I had a youtube channel, and I realized everyone popular has it happen to them, made it a lot easier to handle the hate, bs etc.

yep, i know, at least i didnt end up on TMZ over my outburst lol.



so for todays mail drop.. the following:


black suede shift boot to match the rest of the car and the Sparco seats, soon to be redone in suede as well.
Also bought their chrome rings for the gauge cluster.. will go great with the shinnier machined bezels of the speedhut gauges im picking up soon.. vs the satin silver on the current ones.
Nice match to the Nardi horn ring too
they snapped in place tightly right over the carbon fiber overlay thats on he gauge face already.. nice job.

Not feeling those proposed DRL's The straight up and down doesn't mesh with the rest of the lines in the bumper.

it will mesh just fine for my purposes. Its utilitarian, not meant to look like a Rocket Bunny. It meshes just fine with the line of the oil cooler.

'sup *****.

i built some moar sheet over the weekend.

this took a lot more planning and measuring than i thought it would tbh.. looking at some Protex catch bolt latches for the bumper, mounting on each fender flare-to-bumper section.. should look aggresive and also allow me to nix all the hardware behind each corner to attach bumper and flares and to keep the body lines right and tight too.

removed the license plate, trimmed out the bumper to get more air flow and to allow the splitter rods some required room.

Dude, you don't have air jacks in this thing? Cmon mannnnn. With all that money no because race car air jacks? Dissapoint

No but splitter will be cool. If you angle the rods out though, you're going to loose a lot of strength. A true splitter won't need much strength from those rods, but even race cars end up needing them. You do NOT want a splitter that big getting pulled under the car on the highway. A true splitter just redirects air, and doesn't really "pocket" the air (or dam it up between the bottom of the front bumper and the lip of the splitter). But a lot of cars end up getting pocketed air. Unless you have the money for a wind tunnel your best bet is to make that thing on there super strong, good for 400 ish lbs, maybe more if you want to really wind this thing out from time to time.
