if you can't take the time to search, or form a proper sentence (don't use a mobile as an excuse), why should we help you?
Also, quite making useless new threads, and stick to posting your questions in ONE that you've already started

im not getting the problem i used google no result to my query i used search on rx8club forum still no results to what i would like to find out about the green plug on airbox.
it should not matter how much a person posts its social within in a car club community, its getting your querys solved. every one gets so worried on these sorts of forums, as every one moans about guys posting its not usein up space of any sort thats why there is diffrent areas of a forum thus to help bumping to fast of threads. its ok to diss on some ones post? (disagree strongly) but asking for help nore advice you get ranted upon.

should be a fun social place, automotive communitys these days seem so ruff. almost arrises the word CHAVVY.

You have only been here 3 months. So perhaps you haven't been exposed to the non stop train of people asking for a handout without even a basic level of respect shown. However, many of the people you are asking for help from are subjected to the non stop stream of garbage from people that expect to be spoon fed.

Yes, I said respect. After all, it's insulting to the people reading your posts that you think SO LITTLE of them that you don't see any value in making your post clear. You are also unwilling to actually read what is already here, so what makes us believe you will read when we respond now? It's insulting.

It is also apparent that you don't actually want or care for an answer, because your posts make very little sense. Being very clear is important when you are asking a question and want an answer. Being clear doesn't matter so much when you aren't looking for an answer, and that is the impression you give us, even if we ignore your total lack of effort in finding the answers that we have already provided.


Here is a great post by TeamRX8 on why we often come down on people doing this:

Imagine somebody coming here daily, in fact it is often multiple people daily, asking if not demanding the same information over and over again. We are not your on demand servants. We are people just like you with other priorities and demands in our lives, limited time, our own personal interests for being here, etc. Why should we spend that time catering to people that come here seeking instant gratification?

That leaves us with two options. We can either ignore you completely or we can tell that the info is here if you bother to make the effort. However, over several years of telling people this you eventually get fed up dealing with the continuous stream of people seeking instant gratification yet you still would rather point them in the right direction so you just bark at them to get the point across. Imagine someone coming to your house, going to your living room, pulling their pants down, and taking a dump right there on the carpet just because they didn't know any better. You might be annoyed and yet also understanding because they didn't know any better. Now imagine this being a different person doing this every day. It wouldn't be long before you just as soon they go away and never come back.

Almost every day there is some clueless dolt posting a tech or troubleshooting question in the DiY area, despite there being a sticky thread at the top saying to only post threads there with DIY instructions and subsequent discussion of same. The real issue is that people think they are free to just come here and do as they damn well please and there's no need for etiquette, rules, structure, or organization unless it serves their own personal interest.

Well guess what? We're not here to cater to new uninformed people that come in here trampling all over everything regardless if they're ignorant, just don't care, or whatever. This is like any social community and so if you make waves you better expect to deal with it. If you don't like it then get the f' out because the established community could care less about some newbie whining about not getting what they want immediately. We do care about you clogging up the search engine with useless threads on already established subjects, which there is a dedicated thread on this very subject in this same forum area no less. It took me 10 minutes to explain this. Now imagine multiple people daily requiring it, so you make a Sticky thread at the top that says "read this first" and yet every single new person just like yourself thinks they are beyond trying to fit in properly so that this forum operates smoothly for all of us.

You probably don't read Japanese, but the line in my sig is a well known Japanese proverb that reads "the nail that sticks out gets hammered". You made yourself that nail.
So, until you stop treating everyone like a carpet to go take a dump on, I'm personally withholding my assistance. Maybe you can get someone else to be a bit more helpful.

control miduale or a sensor aolinoid aomething todo with inlet garage does not habe clue nothing

Holy crap man, where did you learn how not to spell? Go get that money back.

You call us CHAVVY? There's only you and me on this forum who know what chavs are, and in my book it is buying a sports car, buying the cheapest parts you can
(I need Ebay shopping advice)
(what is the cheapest exhaust)
trying to put on a K&N,
trying to replace plugs without knowing what 'trailing' refers to,
asking how to read engine codes,
and finally calling yourself 'DJSupremo'

CHAV is as chav does......

Just sayin'
