That's right......I keep on forgetting.

You're the guy with the ricer website that is so-o-o-o successful that you
need to SPAM it on newsgroups.......with all the free time that your busy,
successful website gives you.

I figure the more people that go to your website and see what a POS it is -
with it's Jyoonyer HI Skool, wannabe-a-ricer participants - the more people
wil realize what a phoney you really are....

Of course, your highly-tuned, tech advice such as "LOL@LG" contributes
greatly to the threads on which you post.

Remember folks,

SPAMMERS are SCAMMERS

newsgroup super hero. Save us all from my horrible spam!!!

I'm sorry you didn't have the great idea I had to open a successful

more members by constantly following me around :)

First of all, that guy in the above-mentioned thread who claims to be
getting 980 H.P. on a STOCK bottom end, has a job waiting for him at
virtually ANY NASCAR Cup shop in the Charlotte area.

The NASCAR Cup teams are challenged in developing 750 H.P. on
non-restricted engines with all the trick parts and million-dollar machine
shops......

Sounds like somewhat overly-embellished, just-shy-of-the-actual-truth,
adolescent bragging, to me.  

And, just to balance things off, let's take a look at the highly mature
"Illegal Street Racing" thread.......something I haven't done since I
was......

.....well,.....a teenager!!!

http://www.carforums.net/forumdisplay.php?f=109

Oh, by the way.....

The "Domestic" section at the SPAMMER's foreum contains 279 Threads with
1542 Posts while the "Import" section contains 2192 Threads with 12,410
Posts.....

.....and, there are threads on body mod kits, etc. ....all the things that
ricers do to their cars......

.....but, of course, it's NOT a ricer-oriented forum.....
xblazinlv - 15 Jan 2006 18:41 GMT
I purchased importforum.com, a pre-established forum of many years and
implimented it into my site. That's why there are more import threads.
The majority of active members have domestics...and who cares anyway.
The way I see the whole scene, is whatever floats your boat. The
majority of import enthusiasts truely don't care for "rice" anyway

As for street racing, I hate to burst your bubble but half the people I
know that street race are in their 30's. Hell, half the videos up on my
site of people street racing are all guys in their late 20's or
30's.... maybe 2 or 3 videos are of teenagers, if that.

As for the HP # on a stock bottom end, which post are you referring to?
The only thing I see is a member claiming some guy in a supra (not
himself) was able to achieve that number on a stock bottom end. Is that
what you are talking about?

A very mature activity, to be sure - regardless of age.......and sure to
reflect positively on the overwhelming percentage of automotive enthusiasts
who enjoy their automobiles legally.

You must be proud to champion such activity - especially when it tragically
involves an innocent person who happened to be in the wrong place while
these yahoos were participating in their illegal activities.

Are these people some of the "certified professionals" you refer to as
being on your staff, or are they just "certifiable"?

Perhaps they are simply a bunch of Peter Pans who refuse to grow up?

That one and the one below it (#20) claiming the same sort of numbers are
acheivable on a stock Ford bottom end.....

I quote them below......

-----------------------------------

Do these wannabes understand that 1500 horsepower is reaching into the
upper levels of drag racing?.....

On exotic fuel mixes.......

1500 horses are going to drink several gallons of fuel per city block.....

......and, I'm NOT talking three-buck-a-gallon convenience store
"high-test", either.

And, do they realize the difference between "street legal", and "street
driveable"????....

Probably not......

.....which is why they get caught bullshitting about such urban-legend cars
even existing.

Again, just a bunch of adolescent posturing, and general tossing about of
great quantities of bullshit!!!!.

Maybe there are "tuners" out there, who are running these cars on chassis
dynos, telling these gullible people what the tuners think they want to
hear and taking their money.......

.......or, better yet, telling them what the tuners WANT them to believe in
order to justify the money that is being spent with them  .......

......yet another indication of their true lack of technical understanding
of ricers and wannabes.....

As I said, if they can transmit 980 horses through a stock bottom end - and
make the engine live -  there are great-paying jobs waiting for them in the
Charlotte area.....or at virtually ANY professional race shop in the world.

And, they can probably write their own low-six-figure ticket, to boot!!!

But, this all strongly suggests to me that there is a lot more symbolism
than substance in most of the allegedly technically-oriented posts on your
website......

......and that COULD be why all these miracle-working-mechanical-mavens are
not being hotly pursued by motorsports headhunters......(yes, they DO
exist!)

Of course, this is also beginning to clarify where YOU are coming from when
you give your off-the-wall "advice" to people with technical
questions.......
xblazinlv - 15 Jan 2006 21:39 GMT
I haven't given any off the wall advice, and the posts in that thread
are by members who I've never met nor do I know what they have and have
not seen. I can tell you that I have seen a 700HP + 04 Cobra that
belongs to a friend of mine here in town, and his bottom end is stock.
However, they come stock with forged internals, so that doesn't really
mean all that much.

As for people street racing, I don't condone / promote it at all, I am
a track kind of guy myself.

As for the guys being certified on my board, you'll find they are the
ones who do not take part in conversations such as that thread. I can
list my moderator's names if you'd like to search for their posts.

One of the admins on my board is is an Enviromental engineer and design
consultant for commercial and industrial heating and vent systems.
Certified test and balance engineer and he is also the Owner operator/
Head fabricator for Revolution Race works and is also an AWS certified
welder.

My other admin is in his 3rd year of Mech. Eng.....both very smart
guys.

One of the moderators on my board has the following credentials:
ASE certified Tech in auto & med/heavy trucks.
Worked at tire shops(8 yrs), muffler/brakes shop(2 yrs),
Pontiac/GMC Truck/Subaru dealership(2 yrs), a national rental fleet
where he was the shop foreman(9 yrs) & now as a tech line rep for a
major water/ fuel pump man.

Need more?? Either way, no one on my board is a scammer, and the advice
given is just as good if not better than you'll get anywhere else. As
for the street racing stuff, I guess you should try and close down
every car forum on the internet then since almost all of them have a
forum for street racing / kills..... you just need to step outside of
the box. Stop focusing your negative energy on me and my site and focus
on helping people on USENET... if you don't like my posts then put me
on permanent ignore. But quit talking out of your a.s, because you
haven't the slightest clue what you are talking about nor have you
convinced anyone of anything other than you are an a.shole who follows
me around. That's about it.

You say you don't condone or promote illegal street racing, yet you provide
a forum for it to be discussed on your website.

That little "cop out" dislaimer, isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Whether YOU believe it or not, providing a place to discuss illegal street
racing IS supporting illegal street racing....

You are quick to remove ANY references to other websites on your forum -
even e-mail and website addresses provided by news agencies for people to
get further information.......the new Camaro introduction stories from
Reuters and AP is but one example....

Yet, you claim that your insistence on posting inane answers to other posts
- with the transparent purpose of SPAMMING your website is, somehow,
different, and okay....

Actions speak louder than words.......

AND

WHERE THERE IS SPAMMING, THERE IS SCAMMING!!!
xblazinlv - 18 Jan 2006 21:46 GMT
Is there a reason you are continuing to post in this thread? That's
right didn't think so....

As for deleting spam, you're damn right we do. Blatant spam is always
deleted, but I do allow links in signatures to other sites etc, just
like I do here on usenet. And you're 100% wrong about news articles
being posted without credit, you won't find one article posted on my
site that doesn't have a link to the website it came from. You
obviously haven't looked at the board, and honestly I don't care if /
want you to do so.

Get a life Mrs. *

Yet, he also wrote in the "Boostn2's first race" thread in the "Street

It's the recirc. door actuator.  "Mode actuator", I think GM calls it in the
factory service manual.  That particular actuator does not have a position
feedback to the controller like the temp. acutator.  It's commanded to run
for 10 seconds by a time delay whenever the vehicle is powered up or down.
If you're hearing it when you turn the key on and after you turn it off,
that's the problem. It'll also run full travel and pop if you hit the
recirc. button.  Got a '93 Chev. 3/4 ton truck that had the same problem.
What happens is the stop inside the actuator is broken, and it runs full
travel before the 10 seconds has elapsed.  Since the recirc door is spring
loaded, it causes it to pop off the end of the screw in the actuator.  The
instructions for changing it are in the factory service manual.  Hope this
helps.

Ah, yes......

The consequences of "social promotion" are coming home to roost.

He's gonna' be pissed at you for pointing it out, but he SHOULD be pissed
at the English teacher(s) - or is it "teechur(z)?" - that gave him the
passing grade he didn't earn......
