just want to say one thing. Slagging you off calling you pirates..... Really...... it that the level of "insult" that you believe to be classed as inter forum bitching? Further more, that is 1 post since the new team took over on the 19th of october, and there has been NO incidents of interforum bitching since the global announcement. If there is going to be a workable relationship between the two forums, then some "insults" are going to require a pinch of salt. Feel free to come and interact with us on the other forum thanks nick

Very civil of you alex. well done

Jimmer, ive lost your number again bud, can you drop me a text on my mobile..... time to talk engines!

I am fully aware this is slightly off topic. However i feel some posts require a response. Granted, initially i did ignore you coz i had a bee in my bonnet. Sorry, but it happens to the best of us. However, I got back on topic and asked some relevant questions, which were met with either "this is silly" or "your causing trouble". Granted i threw in a couple of sarcastic remarks. im a sarcastic person. Doesnt mean im causing trouble. Granted, i havent posted on here for a while..... and? The topic of this thread is one of the reasons i stopped posting. Now the issue is open for discussion, i want to express my opinion. But it appears that my opinion is "trouble making" because i got the arse earlier in the thread. I post a perfectly legitamate opinion and pose a couple of questions, and im still trouble making? And yes, some of my post were again, sarcastic, because it appeared i was being met with the opinion of "you havent posted here for a while so your opinion counts for shit because i think your causing trouble". I may be wrong, but thats how i interpreted the responses. Finally, i was interpreted as prying for an arguement. Whats the difference between an arguement and a heated disussion????

So your basically saying, because im asking you questions about moderation, your taking it as trouble making because of previous comments ive made in the thread, even though my latest posts are completely relevant to the topic of the thread. Keep on topic al, this has got sweet FA to do with the other club. Dont tell me to get my fact right on the Si issue and then spout shite i had nothing to do with.

Who's spoiling for a fight???? You post an opinion, i comment.... I was simply asking if you remember being a rapskallion? i must remember to stay on topic...... I think that your comment of "the thread will be closed" is the exact reason why this thread was created in the first place. Moderation. Your basically threatening to close a thread because you dont like the fact someone is repeating their opinion on a certain subject matter. Now the subject matter has changed ever so slightly, the threat of closure is back. Why???

Yeah i did, it was quieter than here so i thought id be a trouble maker and pop back, come on alan, you must remember what it was like to be a weee rapskallion, rocking the boat and all.

Oh and before you ask..... the reason i posted up in this thread is because a member suggested some sort of change to how the forum is run. Being a long term registered member, once again, ill speak my mind on the opinion.

Bullying???? are you having a laugh..... how old are we.... 6, last time i checked were all adults, maybe people should get a thicker skin before they send PM's to the "committee" about any member vocalising their opinion. If they dont like it, then dont reply to it. But if people post "what do you think of this?" and i say "it looks shit"..... is that bullying??? If the OP says "thats harsh etc etc etc" ill still tell them fair enough, but its shit if i think its shit. and if they keep disagreeing, fine..... but i still think its shit. If i think a cars a rust bucket, ill say its a rust bucket till im blue in the face. And last time a checked we didnt need a bunch of baby sitters looking after us all. Modding being a difficult job???? are you kidding? I know full well how difficult modding is..... its not. simple. The simple fact is, certain mods have their favourites.... certain mods will target certain members and pounce on every opinion that certain members make. The only way that its possible to stop members of the community being unfairly targetted is to keep things fresh within the mod team, have a time limit on a period time someone can be a mod. Gives the community to experience a variety of moderation techniques, clear the cliques and get rid of the rot boxes. But this same subject has come up more time than i can remember, and the same result happens....... Fair play to takemetothepub for starting this thread up..... but im sorry to say sweet FA will change. its still the same as when i joined. Ill go back to my local club now..... taarah

He got personal with Mikey Bean! Do you want me to forward you the original unmoderated/edited thread? He in no way got personal with Spin Doctor! The thread in question was as certain somebody calling out Si suggesting he was doing something when he wasn't. Simon retaliated (which maybe he shouldn't have done) by calling Bean a moron.

That one thread gave him the perma ban.

I saw a screen grab of that thread before it was moderated and deleted. Everyone knows the other reasons why he was given temp bans and they were never justified. Its one of the reasons I am not active on here so much anymore. Anyway, Im done here. Just seeing it from a number of peoples point of view.

Somehow, I doubt that very much.

I think that having members removed for petty reasons upsets the club membership more? I do come on here, but don't always post. I don't post on the orange site much either anymore for my own reasons.

Completely agree with the above. Some stuff is left to run its course and some stuff is pounced upon, even insignificant stuff. Depends whos in the thread and whos online it would seem.

Prices from these according to Z1 (theres a thread on the American site) are about $800. Thats around £600. Importing that to the UK would cost over £100 in shipping because of its bulk. Add on another £150 for import and duty and your looking over £800.

Yeah, Si told me about the incident. Called Mikey Bean a moron. Oh well, I guess the committee's decision is final. Anyway, moving swiftly on. Yes, that bumper is first class. I hear they are releasing a 2+2 version shortly! Shame the cost is rather prohibitive!

Might have to fit some Placebo Turbos to that as well.

:rofl:

Maybe the members opinions aren't worth anything.

Si's came from leatherseats.com in the USA.

Oh forgot to add, ive had a listen to each camshaft with a probe, and all 4 shafts sound exactly the same with

Guys and girls. Ive had this rattle for some time now, and its really starting to piss me off. Basically its a top end whirring rattle, sounds like a blown bearing. Its completely intermittent make no odds whethers its hot or cold. it can be provoked by holding the revs at around 2.5k rpm - 3k rpm. I can tell you its not: Cambelt tensioner - new Tensioner pulley - new Idler pulleys - new Water pump - new A/C pump - Disconnected and rattle still present Alternator - Disconnected and rattle still present Power steering pump - Disconnected and rattle still present Lifters - not a lifer noise, two oil changes havent improved/worsened it Bullet beliefs the VVT springs are in a perfectly servicable condition. Have a listen: Ideas please, its really starting to get to me!

I saw these on ebay, nearly bought them myself
