It really does suck for everyone... People only think I am trying to sell them something, hell I don't even sell an exhaust system!

Their is a perfect example of this non sense over on PPBB now, where a bunch of armchair wrench turners that have never touched our billet magnetic drain plug or low temp thermostat are challenging their effectiveness.. They are basing their opinions on assumption and are seriously piossing me off. I have the data and drive and test the cars daily that are equipped with the components.
Well, you know, I actually wouldn't mind paying to have access to see your test information. If you wanted to make a small section of your Flat 6 Innovations site restricted access for 5 or 10 dollars a year, or whatever, I wouldn't mind paying to have access you your latest test data.

I'm probably not the only one, too.

As for the PPBB, that would be the reason why I'm just a lurker there, and haven't even created an account as of yet, though I've been watching it since February when I bought my car. I found this forum first, then found the Rennlist forums, which are also pretty fantastic, but are only for technical issues (don't try to post anything else!), and then PPBB. There are some posts that I read through, but everyone is correct, that its a forum consisting mostly of fluff, and concern for the stock holdings of the elite.

Only once in a great while do they actually discuss technical stuff to help someone repair a car, and then its mostly just chassis related. But, its a forum that serves its purpose, and makes them very happy, so it isn't a bad forum, in the grand scheme of things. Their politics and post policing tendencies is what pulls them down at times, however.

As for the people talking through their plush posteriors about things that they have no experience with, the answer is simple: They don't want to know the truth and you're not going to force it down their throats.

Those of us who actually have experience with engine performance will know they're full of excrement, and will devalue their statements accordingly.

BC.
