I also realy have no idea who this hymee guy is, or really never met dave only interested in a turbo kit for my rx8, but i can see a lot of competition as towho has the best and most reliable turbo kit, who doesnt caio just get unbanned so we can hear what he has to say about the kit if nothing at least learn about whats available in performance mods for our 8s.
It's got nothing to do with you. I think he would know better than anyone why he was banned. For your info.....I've never seen anyone get "unbanned".

I have some questions for you, if you dont mind:

Why do you give a stuff why he was banned?

Why don't you ask dave why he was banned? You have his email address.

What do you mean "you never really met dave".

What do you mean "you know he didn't get any warning"?

Who are you anyway?

You dont think so? If you don't know, who does?

I can't speak for Hymee, but I assumed you were having a shot at him. Who else were you addressing with the "conflict of interest" comment? You need to make your posts a little clearer.

Rightio, just who was the "conflict of interest" comment directed at?

I have similar questions, so I think mirkop's comments are fine.

back to the topic

seems like we are dawning on promising times with regard to FI. the axial flow thing is getting somewhere hymees SC is making some more progress and mazfix seems to have gone the turbo path. also mazsport in the us is making some excellent progress. I have decided to stick with the car passed warranty so turboing is a distinct possibility now.

I don't make the rules, nor do I dish out the punishment. If you are a member here, it means you agreed to abide by the rules. Same rules go for me. It has nothing to do with competition, like I said before, RP and myself get along fine, I even suppy him with ideas :D

Cheers,
Hymee.

I have some questions for you, if you dont mind: No I DONT MIND

Why do you give a stuff why he was banned?
ITS NOT ABOUT GIVING A STUFF ABOUT WHY HE WAS BANNED ITS ABOUT HIM HAVING A GREAT KIT IN PRODUCTION AND I WOULD LIKE FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT INFORMATION FROM HIM ON THIS FORUM TO HELP WITH FORUM MEMBERS ATTEMPTS TO MODIFY THEIR 8'S, ITS HARD ENOUGH FINDING INFORMATION ON THE NET ABOUT TURBOING AN 8 WITHOUT MODS BANNING PEOPLE WHO HAVE PUT THE EFFORT IN TO CREATE A TURBO KIT THAT WILL SATISFY A LOT OF 8 DRIVERS INCLUDING MYSELF.

Why don't you ask dave why he was banned? You have his email address.
FOR YOUR INFROMATION I DID ASK DAVE AND AS EVERYONE KNOWS IT TAKES 2 TO TANGO SO I WONT MIND HEARING THE OTHER SIDE, I THINK THATS FAIR DONT YOU?

What do you mean "you never really met dave".
I HAVE SPOKEN TO HIM AND EMAILED HIM, I THINK THAT PASSES AS "NEVER REALLY MET HIM" DONT YOU?

What do you mean "you know he didn't get any warning"?
WELL OBVIOUSLT I KNOW HE DIDNT GET A WARNING BECASUE HE TOLD BE " I DIDINT GET A WARNING" THOSE WERE DAVES WORDS,

Who are you anyway? MY NAME IS MIRKO AND I LIVE IN SYDNEY, I USED TO DRIVE A 800HP GTR R32, NOW I SOLD IT AND BOUGHT A RX8 NUGGET WITH NO POWER WHAT SO EVER, AND NEED A TURBO KIT THAT WILL WORK AND IS REALIABLE FOR DAILY DRIVING, I HAVE REACENTLY JOINED RX8CLUB AFTER SEARCHING FOR FORUMS ON GOOGLE ,THIS FORUM CAME UP FIRST, BUT FROM WHAT I SEE EVRYONE SEEMS TO BE LIVING IN A "FAST AND THE FURIOUS WORLD" WHERE THEY HAVE THE ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE SHOP AND THEIR MODS ARE THE BEST, WHY DONT YOU ALL JUST SHARE INFORMATION, BE IT A SUPERCHARGER/ TURBO KIT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE FORUM MEMBERS, THATS WHY EVERYONE IS HERE ISNT IT?


HOPE THAT SATISFIES ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, NOW WHAT ABOUT THE QUESTIONS I ASKED ABOUT THE IP LOGGING, ANY UPDATE AS TO WHATS HAPPENING THERE. ADIOS

OT: Well, I can't speak for this forum, but on another forum where I am a mod, there is an IP log. That's pretty standard with most forum software and I imagine it is the case here. IP logging is intended to prevent a number of things including the potential for fraud, in the sense that someone might attempt to have 2 different log-ons or impersonate another member.

BTW, Ciao is still a member on the .com.au site, where he is as entitled to post on the same basis as anyone else. As you noted :

The problem is there seems to be a tendency for people who are not principles in FI developments to post a range of thoughts, opinions or just plain crap...to the extent it seems we struggle to have a sensible discussion about FI kits these days. There is one developer who simply refuses to post in these places because of the **** fight that develops. It's a really big pity

Mirkop,

There is lots and lots of info on here about turbo charger development for the RX-8. Heck - I have posted tons of pics and details about the progress of the development of a supercharger kit.

As for Ciao's kit being released as a kit - well, I have never seen it. And if I posted the opinions told to me by those who have seen it.... No - I can't go there.

Fast and the Furious - hehe, that is a funny analogy! Dads army sometimes, perhaps.

BTW - No need to SHOUT around here.

Cheers,
Hymee.

BTW - "Aidos", is that a bit like "Ciao"???

PS - Since you are in Sydney, you could always drop by RM and check out his experience with Turbo RX-8 mods.

please email me with those comments as im genuinly inpterested in hearing about it, as i will be buying a kit be it from rm or dave, same thing to me i just want more power


BTW - No need to SHOUT around here.

didnt mean to shout, just make sure people know what part of the quote i was writing, hence the colour

Cheers,
Hymee.

As a european born aussie, i use the word cao on a daily basis, its just coincidence that daves nickname is caio, so i thoguht i would use adios for now. hope thats ok

PS - Since you are in Sydney, you could always drop by RM and check out his experience with Turbo RX-8 mods.
been there done that, the super charger was ok but didnt over impress me, what i realy want is turbo and wastgate, sorry just personaly preference,

First off, I apologise in advance to the thread starter Dan 8, for filling his thread with crud. I didn't lead it off track, but I admit to contributing. I'll make it up to you sometime Dan!! There seems to be a little unfinished business here.........

Thank you for your responses. You'll pardon me if I am a little sceptical of your bona fides. Many others have praised Dave's turbo project....most of them were Dave.

Your enthusiasm for his "great kit" makes me a little suspicious, seeing as you are so new here. As timbo said.....you can read all about the latest developments on the .com.au forum, should Dave wish to post the latest there.

If you want the other side, PM Omicron.....he banned him.

You see, this is exactly why I'm suspicious. Earlier on in another post, you said....and I quote, "i know that he didnt get any warning ( what i have gathered from forum members )". Now you're saying Dave told you himself. You don't lie very well.

Now my spider sensors are really tingling. No-one steps out of an 800HP supercar and buys an RX-8......absolutely no-one.

DING DING DING DING........now I know for a fact you aren't for real. If all you wanted was info on turbocharging kits, why would you give a tinkers cuss about the IP log of another forum member??

Dave, is that you in there??!! Or are you one of Dave's Sydney friends, trying it on?

That's it from me. I'm finished with this thread. This is getting a little repetitive.

Now, on with the show.....

firstly i have been messageing with forum members and also dave, what they have told me is the same thing dave has told me. nothing suspicious about asking questions

Now my spider sensors are really tingling. No-one steps out of an 800HP supercar and buys an RX-8......absolutely no-one.

Please dont get me wrong, you are entitled to your opinion, but honestly i dont think you know how common high power gtrs are, ive been building cars since i was 15, my gtr wasnt one of a kind at all, after so many years of driving the same car anyone and everyone would get sick of the constant costs of tuning, racing, tires, fuel costs, dyno, petrol smells, fixing problems, and being that most r32gtrs are about15 years old they tend to get a little worn out. if you know what i mean.


but if i must explain myself, My wife loves the rx8 so i bought her one to drive to work every day, after i sold my gtr i decided to give the 8 a little boost, its actually got nothing to do with selling a super car and stepping into a rx8, personally i wouldnt **** on a rx8 if it was on fire, but what can i do when its sitting in the garage with 2 rotors that cant spin if they were on fire




DING DING DING DING........now I know for a fact you aren't for real. If all you wanted was info on turbocharging kits, why would you give a tinkers cuss about the IP log of another forum member??

I dont really care i just wanted to see what answer i would get, but i havnt got one yet.

Dave, is that you in there??!! Or are you one of Dave's Sydney friends, trying it on?
no its not dave, im not his sydney friend, im just a guy in sydney that smells a conspiracy and likes to ask questions, but from what i can tell nobody likes to answer any questions unless its in their favour.

I've had a gutful of all this crap.

You smell a 'conspiracy' - big bloody deal. You've been told who to speak to (to get both sides of the banned story). You've even been told where to find Ciao on the other Aussie RX8 forum.

Continuing this debate (especially in a public thread) is pointless and, as Timbo has said, all these shitfights deter commercial sellers of the very thing you are interested in from posting INFORMATION as opposed to opinions.

If you really want to accquire information on FI kits for the 8, I'd respectfully suggest you stop dredging up old arguments and concentrate on the kits themselves (in the various places where info can be gained).
