Default Mid-A DRAMA FTMFL!

Is it me or is the Mid-A becoming EXTEMELY filled with immature drama?

Personally, I think it is and it's getting REAL old.

It seems the days of everyone supporting each other and getting together for GREAT memorable times are now gone with the exception of smaller groups who have become friends and remained over a somewhat extended period of time. It has turned into call outs, poor meet set-ups, general drama, misinformation and overall shadiness and it continues to decline. I wouldn't necessarily blame it on outsiders either.

Just sick of all the B.S. as this use to be a great region to discuss, inform, and just have ALOT of fun in general. Personally, it's losing it's fun and is becoming a place I visit and post less and less frequently.

IMO some of the people need to grow up in here and not treat this like some childish forum.

Robbie

Without mentioning any names. Its definetely due to the influx of new YOUNG posters. They generally dont know $hit about these cars, and just post away stupidity. I myself stay in touch with many Mid-A members from years back and consider them friends. No matter the level of douchebaggery, that will not change. I can pick about 6-10 SN's that generally post garbage. WHat can you do it was bound to happen with Z's dropping in price to levels that more people can afford. Funny thing is its the newer guys I hardly meet at meets I never see them and just shoot the $hit with the old timers like yourself.

Hows your car btw?

Running GREAT actually. Im VERY impressed and EXTREMELY happy at this point. Almost done, just a few odds and ends and features to button up and then it's time to cruise and enjoy it again.

I understand it's the influx of new members, but it's just getting REALLY friggin old.

Where's Kelly when we need him? lol Where are thou old fearless Z buddy/moderator?

Honestly, I can't remember what the exact numbers were for the 10lb pulls. Right around the 360 area and roughly equivalent tq. Ill let you know when we start testing the stiffer WG springs. You know what that means bro.

The power curve is probably one of the smoothest I've seen to date and the powerband is PERFECT for the street imo.

Sounds good so far man. Good luck in breaking the 500whp barrier-that is the perfect amount of power for the street

guys (and girls), i just actually posted like 5 minutes ago in the tack-welding thread my whole problem. I definately understand what you guys are saying. I don't mean to but in at all. I really don't ever have to even comment again, thats why i really dont comment all that much. I'm always reading other threads having to do with my specific car and parts excited cause im actually starting to learn more and more about it. anyway, im 19 and have only been on the site since June and i get frustrated so i know somewhat what you guys are saying. okay done!

Awww sorry guys M-I pissing yall off by posting stupid stuff? By the way just to clarify I'm not young nor did I buy my car when the price dropped. (Original owner since 03) The reason I post garbage berto is because there's a search button. There hasn't been any question of mine that has not been asked before. If the type of disscusion does not fit you, I’m sure we would love to talk about Mutal Funds, Stock Bonds and the housing market. I do agree with driven1 on certain aspects but for you to say: "I can pick about 6-10 SN's that generally post garbage. What can you do it was bound to happen with Z's dropping in price to levels that more people can afford." that’s some BS... If the room actually had something to talk about then BS wouldn’t pop up all the time. I breeze through many Honda Forums (I own a TSX) to see what they were talking about and It's not as crazy as this room! I think if the income level of the people in this forum troubles you, you should buy a Lambo and join their forum! I’m not trying to start an argument or anything but dude, come on!

I'm glad that I'm the same age as Alberto so I'm definitely excluded from that list.

Now I don't know about Eric the Ricer though.. hmm...

Haha, its cool. I won't lie I don't know much about my car, but I am learning. I come from a V8 family, so this is a step down (in my dads opinion, lol). I'm more of a suspension guy I guess I would say, but since I'm almost done with my suspension (endlinks is all i need!) I will start working on my power
