Why should we spoon feed you?

See how easy that is?
He was also poking fun at you, making a play on a quote from a movie about street racing....

No, we don't know more than God. However, if God was kind enough to share all of his knowledge on the forum, we would. How? Because we read and search out answers. We are dicks for a very specific reason. Because you coming in here and asking the answers, expecting us to spoon feed you when the answers you are looking for are not only asked hundreds of times before you, but there are clear and specific answers in the stickies, that you clearly didn't read. If you aren't going to read those, why should we expect you to read our answers here? I mean seriously?

I know what double clutching is, but it isn't because I made a thread asking people to spoon feed me the answer. I saw the reference and I Googled it! I gave you a legitimate assistance with a question you asked, and even showed you HOW to easily get further assistance in the future without the unpleasant feedback. If you aren't going to take that and learn from it, you simply don't have any hope, and will continue to be a target.
And yes, I've seen your other thread looking for people to spoon feed you information (https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/how-much-would-add-turbo-my-stock-rx-8-a-224754/#post4112756). You aren't building a good reputation on the forums.

If you want to see how to go about asking a question, looking for solid advice and help, try this thread: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-trouble-shooting-95/rats-my-engine-misfiring-domino-effect-224827/
Really new member, had an issue, thought something was wrong with what the dealer was feeding him, came and asked about it with lots of details and information, and responded to that information without ignoring it.

I was stationed at Hurlburtfeild AFB in FL... home of the AC130U gunship we call it "spooky". I got the pleasure of shooting off some 25mm and the big dog 40mm cannon during a training mission over Eglin AFB which is less than 10m away.
its funny to play call of duty and use the ac130 in the game and think I have actually got to do this in real life. anyway sorry for the hijack lol.

But really, joking aside, If you want your 8 to be quicker, make sure you have plenty of V-tec fluid. If it gets low you loose power rapidly. The meter for it is on the firewall behind the oil filter next to the flux capacitor.

After reading this thread, I can now sleep happily... Hopefully I dont have another weird dream like last night where Rob Zombie made a comeback.. and started a new band called "The Ron McFarley Band" with a bunch of old rockers with grey beards.

Now, now boys...Let's not be too mean...I'm sure with an extra $20k-$25k, he can get the power he's looking for...Upgrade to a 3 rotor...Then supercharge that b****!...Or just buy a different car...It might (will) be cheaper...

I think supercharging a 20b swap will probably run more than $20-$25k. 
Unless there is a supercharger out there for the 20b that I am unaware of. The development of one would be quite pricey. It's ok, every noob on the forum should have the funds to buy it and the investment would be returned in short order.
