Good, understandable writing, is more important to personal advancement, than knowledge in your field... What a Bummer! But it's true. No matter how Brilliant you are, or think you are; Or how big a "Bull **** Artist" you are--or think you are--you will be judged first by your writing. Perception is everything: if you sound intelligent; therefore, it follows: you must be intelligent. Somewhere your fifth-grade english teacher is laughing out loud!

All you require to succeed in life is your sheep-skin, a word processor/speller, and a laser printer.

Yeah I had a hard time understandind what he wrote, but I though may be english is not his first language. Give the man a brake and quit being an a-hole.

You might want to message rgonza about your project if you are really thinking about putting a 20B in an RX-8. I believe they had to do a lot of custom work to get it in there.

Sorry, didn't notice he was from quebec. After the supra thread...ugh

You are a complete dick. Your post is full of grammatical errors, too. The ironic part is that its actually easier to understand his post than your worthless pontificating.

You beat me to it. Being from Quebec, English very well may not be his primary language.

Regardless, it's just a forum. We don't need the grammar police for something that can easily be comprehended.



Oh, the FB gets my vote.

Seeing that the thread starter is from Quebec, I'd take a stab and say English is his second language.

^^^Did that ever cross your mind HeavyMetal699?

LMAO @ pontificating...

If there's one word I'd never expect to read on the rx8 forum, this would be it...

What are you implying?

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pontificating

Pontificating - To express opinions or judgments in a dogmatic way.

But I agree, this is not the place to flame a guy for bad English. If he can swap an engine, he can swap it in any language.
Let his work speak for itself.

ok here I go again....it was sad not share with you guys but here goes nothing....

If you don't see the thread or the pictures correctly do what is written below or else click the link....

I'll put you the link where I posted the rebuilt of th 20B...but you'll have to do something to get there. Just click on the link as usual and go all the way to the bottom of the page and change the language from "francais" to english and after that go up the page and click on display mode and click linear mode....I know it's all written in french but at least you'll see the pictures....enjoy

oh by the way the pictures are this page (6) and the others are at page 8

put the 20b in a rx8, that would be sweet... make it a track or circut monster. the car has handles great even when it's stock, so if you can get some decent power out of it i can see it being a really nasty (nasty as in badass) rx8 ripping up some tracks.

Merci!! I was feeling guilty not showing the pictures to you guys so I search for my old thread and here it is...and by the way go look at the link often we'll add more pictures...in two weeks. Now we are at the cleaning phase of the irons(side and rotors housing) and after that we'll do a street port (we already have the templates) and resurfacing rotor housing if needed (maybe one) so stay tune
