Supercharged RX8

I'm sure I'm way late on this and its been posted 27 time before but I'm to lazy to look and see.

R&D's Speed Mag

I was in the store and ran across this little gem on the cover of R&D's Speed Mag. It's a factory car but only puts out an estimated 25 extra horses.

It's a shame you have an over-inflated sense of self-worth. You AREN'T a forum administrator, thus, stop trying to tell mods how/when to do their jobs. I guess every group of car owners has their resident a-hole. You my friend, are that a-hole. Why are you being an *** to a guy with 4 posts? Not called for.

I hate internet people.
I know what you are thinking.. it must be very difficult to live with myself.
But I am actually serious. I think that my overall bulletin board satisfaction level is nearing "0".
Maybe it is time to move on to a new chapter in my life that doesn't involve frequenting places where personal attacks are the rule rather than the exception.
I remember back when I used to learn new things and find people who were excited about the same things I was.

You know it has been posted several times, but I do think that the 25 extra horses, which you were referring to was 263 WHP. But then again, I'm not sure...I don't hold my breath on any of these promises until I see dyno charts and a price for the retro fit kit.

Actually, I just repeated EVERY SINGLE WORD the threads starter wrote. He even called himself lazy for not searching before posting. If I don't tell the guy it's a repost, who will? YOU? No.

I am trying to help the mods by cutting down on the hundreds of reposts of the same subject matter, since about 50% of new members post new threads that have already been discussed to DEATH.

I would also suggest that if I annoy you that much, you just put me on your ignore list, since your little 'suggestion' posts mean absolute **** to me. But thanks for the advice.

Oh, and mods, close this thread.... :D

Have you considered just not replying to a topic and letting it fall naturally to the bottom rather than telling mods how and what to do?

A simple post telling the user to search is more constructive than just saying "hey this has been discussed to death, mods close this thread". All it does is add to the clutter.

I'm surprised. When you post a thread that's been repeated, some say "search the board, this issue has been beaten to death". Then if you do search and FOUND an old thread and post a message, some troll will say "hey, @%%#$, that's a very old thread, do you notice it was posted in 2003"?

I guess there's something missing - just some courtesy and constructiveness as w0rm puts it correctly (without being condescending and aloof). Lighten up, folks!

Nope and there's a reason for that. Hopefully no one will. I haven't seen every single thread on the forum that I might have wanted to. I'm certainly not going to go do a search to see if what I was thinking of just may have been posted at one time. I might not even know it ever existed and can't go look for it.

If everyone has seen a topic before, they shouldn't respond to it. It'll go away faster that way. I actually like this topic because I haven't been able to find the magazine.

I hate the RX-7 forum because of the "repost police". These people are nothing more than immature little adolescents who can't get girlfriends so they sit around on computers all day saying "repost" or "noob". Don't let this forum get immature too. If you've seen it before, move on. There's no need to tell everyone about it. If you aren't a mod, don't try to do their job. If they needed your help, they'd ask you.

I agree with everything you say here and highly respect anything you post regarding our car but your tag 'anti-liberal' that is also immature

Fine I'll change it. See if you like this better.

EDIT: Why should I change it? I'm not the one who has a problem with it. If you've got a problem with me, it's your problem not mine.

you know being a doctor is inherently incongruent with anti-liberal

good luck preaching

I actually misread your post, and don't understand it as written. I thought you wrote incongruent with being liberal. So disregard the G-rex reference.

I meant if you help people (ie doctor) then that is a liberal function thus you may be preaching 'anti-liberal' when in fact you are inherently incapable of defining your self as such

Gotcha. Now you gave me a new idea for a name...."really a liberal"

Now I feel like moving to California and joining PETA.
