angels666, i realise you're Erins friend, but your argument that just because she organised something that she 'owns the rights to it' for all time is just rediculous.

and also, i'm sure a few members would have no dramas of saying it to her face, if the way she has treated me while she was a member of the club (remember, she is no longer a member of the club, and no longer active on SAU) was anything to go by.

Correct she is my friend and I've said nothing in this thread for 4 pages till it started going in circles. Seems half of SAU don't care what it's called and the other half are 'how f**king dare she blah blah blah'.

Question ... has anyone actually PM'ed Erin as stated in this thread. This thread should be in your mod/secret section (just like other forums have) for you guys to make a decision and move on, not left here for people to bag someone that put a lot of work into a great event. Bag me all you like guys, I have broad shoulders and don't care, but don't bag someone that has done a lot for this club.

Azzurra : If you feel so ill treated maybe you should in fact PM Erin.

*edit* oooh half your post vanished ;)

It started out as a general enquiry into a BIG CRUISE of skylines..... Why has everyone turned it into a shitfight?

I can't speak for anyone else but my reason for posting in this thread is the below post from an executive member.

I have bitten my tongue on every topic relating to Erin, and I have done so, so far, on this topic... but in saying that, I want to continue with MSC. Who the f**k gives anyone the right to claim names of events. FFS. Leave it be. If you give up roles and give up membership, that's your choice. Move on and be the adult you claim to be.

I think I can answer somewhat on behalf of Erin, seeming as though I was there for every event she organised, including the MSC.

She doesnt want people using the name because it was her baby. Her and I (as well as a few others!) put in a LOT of effort to organise those cruises and to try and give SAU some good publicity with charity donations on air, etc. Many hours were wasted in scouting runs, planning and organising that resulted in the success of the various MSCs, from a relatively pissweak begining to a pretty major event on the SAU calander. Having put in that effort, we really dont want the name used for future events that really may not live up to the standard.

No, of course we dont have a legal backing or any intellectual property rights to it. Aside from the fact you're f**king stupid for even suggesting that, why on earth would we trademark something like that? The name MSC was just a nice banner to put it under. Is it really so hard to think of something new? Go ahead and use MSC if you want, but please dont associate any of the people who put the effort into the previous generations of MSC with it. I know the amount of work erin put into the previous events, and I have serious doubts about the ability of the current members to pull it off to the same standard.

Having said that, I really do hope the current team can organise something to a similiar standard, be it called MSC or not. Then they can experience the wonders of wasting a lot of your own time and money to give an event to a bunch of people who dont appreciate it, and the associated backstabbing and bitching that comes with it. I can count on one hand the number of people from SAU who I'd be willing to help organise an event for again. You only have to look at the number of events organised when Erin was exec compared to the number of events organised under the current team (have there been any yet? lawl lawl) to see just how much work she did put in. Not that she complained about the time she spent (although I sure did), she was more than happy to put the time into the club for its members. But instead of a mature club who appreciated her efforts, she got stuck with a bunch of immature c**ts who'd rather backstab and fight online than act like human beings. I'm glad we got rid of the fscking thing, cause if ever there was a group of elitests, they sure do exist on here.

Anyway. Good luck to the club for the future, I know for a fact erin and myself wont be contributing toward the club ever again after the "thanks" we got.... But I hope the paying members go back to getting something for their money :P

Andrew doesnt say c**ts. He is angry.

I tried to say it in a nice way. The powers to be knew what Erin wanted. If its read back through previous topics in the members section you will see how it was all hunky dory. The question was asked to Erin. She gave her answer. If you are going to ignore the answer why ask the question to start with?

The fact this is 5 pages and still going is stupid. I cant wait to get my subi.

after reading this thread and another thread a while ago, it make me feel very sad.

it comes down to old school/new school again. Old school ppl think they are cool and senior in this f**ken car scene, so the ppl who joined after them should all quit.

the more i know this car scene, the more i feel so. same thing on Boostcruising.

so what is the deal??? u guys think u are so cool because you have been here longer?? so that u have every single right giving ppl shit???

move on, if you decided to move out of something, give some room for the ppl behind......you have nothing special just becoz u have been here longer.

btw,i have nothin against Erin, i dont even know her. i just dont like a lot of ppl's attitudes when they think they are being left outside........

the current management is good, and this is why i actually post on SAU, everyone seems to be equal, not like forums such as BC filled with wankers including some mods.

by the way, its ppl like you made all the newbies like me feel very unwelcome attending any of the events, or even joining the club.

no wonder no one turns up.....

I can only assume thats not targetted at me.... considering I rarely post on SAU, and if you dont know who Erin is, you dont know who I am either.....

Are you prehaps refering to the elitest group I made mention of?

not u as i have never seen u posting. sorry

i remember a while back, there was a thread with all these members who joined before 2004 complainning all the new members stuffing up everything and blaming newbies for everything happened.......and i had a few problems with some of the mods on BC as well and in real life dealing with some senior members of the so called car scene, everything just added up.......

i just feel like these ppl are very snobby, and made me feel very unwelcome.......

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
