Before u have a brain fart and start hitting the keyboard randomly.... READ THIS...


Recommended Posts

you do not understand the temptation to whore this thread... but i took some pills and they have calmed me down...

hehe j/k... yer i agree but i think we all should be allowed to have a bit of fun, but i agree that sometimes the whoring goes too far...

brain fart?

=============

rather than start a spam session and put ppl in the pit i will explain it in ur post... a brain fart is what is generally conceived in most ppls mind as a good idea... but often we find that this is incorrect and rather than stopping and thinking about what they are about to post they just wildly mash keys in an epileptic mannor which some how manage to resemble words and string together a somewhat half coherent sentence which neither adds to the original subject matter nor does it enhance our forum going precence and in fact makes us 10% dumber everytime we read it.

btw im not going to close this thread because i would like some feedback so long as it is warranted and productive... anything other than this will be removed.

just a reminder

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and everything so far seems ok. There have been a couple of warm welcomes and it's been great. Although I have been subjected to anyone's rudeness, and therefore haven't seen it myself, I can't really empathize with you guys. I do think however that it's great that you guys are acknowledging that there is a problem and are trying to do something about it. Remember, admitting you have a problem is the first step (Gees that sounds like a line taken directly out of an A.A meeting!!!) But you have to remember that out of the number of ppl that have joined up to this forum there are bound to be a few spastics!! So TWO THUMBS UPS Inark!!! (by the way, I live in the suburb right next to you!!)

Keep it on topic guys. And try be a lil more sensitive to how others might feel about your comments, whether in jest or otherwise.

:D thanks for the input skygal its always welcome when its constructive which is what i want. I agree that there is bound to be the odd "idiot" but so long as people realise that just adding fuel to the fire and flaming them as much as they can isnt the best way to resolve things then it makes it easier to sort these issues out.

the great people on this forum far out weigh the troublesome and this is the way i'd like it to stay.

hey nark, is it possible to make it in such a way that only certain members, (e.g. ones that have been registered long enough, or made enough posts.) are able to create new threads?

i know on PF, i couldn't even post a reply to an item i wanted to buy until after 90 days after i registered... was irritating, but definately stopped my itchy fingers from spamming all the other threads about their prices.

probably but that would mean new ppl to the forums would not be able to post and i would prefer that they would be allowed to. In the for sale sections on most forums you find that there is a waiting period before you are allowed to post a new or even reply to a thread.

We should have a Elite Section. Like a second level? or maybe trusted members who have been active on the forums can create new threads? eg: 3 months probationary period who can only post in the for sale/wtb section then after that they can post?

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
