The Sa Wasteland

[SLED]

spose i shall have my say in regards to the previous argument, re: discussions on the sa forum.

im going to direct the moderators to this; the WA wasteland.

im glad the moderators are more active in keeping the garbage out of the SA section, but one of the rather charming things about our humble little forum was the occasional random/non-car related thread, which we had a few of. so im thinking a dedicated wasteland sub forum like in WA would be good for us, sure its more work, but im sure someone would be more than happy to put their hand up to moderate the 'wasteland' sub forum, hell, id even raise my hand.

sure, we're all crazy car loving lunatics, but we do occasionally enjoy things that are non car related and want to share these thoughts with other SA members, but with the crackdown in the main section, none feel 'safe' to do this anymore.

(yes, my post is a little disjointed, i just finished work.)

Dave, like Dale & Ben, you also make a good point. As I said to Dale, it's something that you would have to put to Christian (Prank) and get his thoughts on it.

And yes, as you and Dale have stated, we would definitely need another couple of Mods........any suggestions as to who is capable of diplomacy yet not backward in using a stick when warranted?!

EDIT

Good for you. Do it. Do it your way. Too many people are scared to fail and will never be adventurous.

When I built my supercharged SR20DE 200B, I had everyone in the "industry" telling me it couldn't be done ... two fold: can't fit an SR20 in a 200B and can't supercharge it. I love proving people wrong. I drove that car around for 2 years before I sold it, as it was, registered and inspected with the SR20De superhcarged.

I got the same reaction when I built my CA18DET vg30BB powered 1600 wagon, 13B powered Bluebird, and T25 turboed CBR1000 drag bike. All 4 times, proven them wrong and been happy with doing it my way.

I came to the conclusion long ago that there are sheep out there with no idea ... they only want you to do things their way. f**k it ... do it your way.

rofl, gee thanks ben, i guess thats a compliment

I nearly said something yesterday in Damo's defence (and I know that it's all said with a tongue in cheek manner) but I bit my lip.

If SAU had more members like him (and I'm coming purely from a Mod's perspective), this place would be alot more enjoyable and less stressfull for all of us.

9 times out of 10 he stays on topic (having said that, we all stray), he doesn't go out of his way to be a smartass or stir the hornet's nest (unlike a couple I could mention) and yet with his enormous post count I don't recall ever having the need to steer him straight over any issue.

+1 for Damo on the mods list

[Damo_R34]

if there was to be a "wasteland" or "wasteland-styled" sub forum, id be happy to moderate that section. The other sections are being well moderated at the moment.

I don't have high hopes for a wasteland sub forum, seeing as we were declined a for sale sub forum a while back.

Yeah cost most of his post whoring are in wasteland which doesnt need modding anyhow ;D

Dunno how u managed 3000 extra posts than me damo, esp since u joined a year after me lols...

but srsly he'd be a good mod for any wasteland forum.

$0.02

[scandyflick]

i got a couple years on him, and hes still +2000 on me, lol.

but yeah, +1 damo for whoretown mayor.

[PREISS]

this may hurt some peoples feelings but.

IMO putting damo in charge of the forums would be like leaving a sex maniac in charge of a brothel.

[Damo_R34]

was just thinking, we are overdue for a paintball/go-kart styled event, anyone keen on organising?

+1 for the last Andrew-organised paintball, was so much fun!

cara just dont put the super charger on and then decide turbo after or ill kill you decide n live with it

sorry for those that have done it but i think its a bit lame buying a n/a car and putting a turbo on it when they have a turbo model, why modify it when you can go out and buy the same damn thing for prob cheaper & more often better. the only time i would accept a fake as being kinda cool is the shelby cobra kit car, because lets face it who the f can afford the real 1 and then have the balls to risk damaging it on the race track

^^ valid point and 1 i would reccomend aswell normally but i think cara more into being different than trying to shave seconds off lap times n bang for buck

Different yet f*cking so much more expensive for what you'll achieve with half the price if you ran a turbo. I'd sure hope Cara has deep wallets. It's like my mate, he want's to put a RB26 into a Supra and then make it have the GTR's 4WD system... and I said "Why?!" it's just so expensive.

But that's a whole other thread...

It just makes me think of all these people who have endless wallets who decide to go down the show car path, and modify the shit out the car (LCD's in the engine bay, etc) but to achieve what? A trophy? Play table tennis and you'll get a trophy.

i can get to organise a gokarting thingo damo

love organising these things

ummm i was thinking endurance style race or

we could do 2-3 lots of 12 driver grid individual races.....extreme gp is like 95 laps for $70

thats a individual style race..where you rack up points and winner gets a trohpy

so common people some advice!!!

[CRoNic...]

I'd be down for Go Karting.

[CRoNic...]

Speaking of Go Karting, anyone been to Greenhills lately?

Yes I'm 21, but I only went there a few months ago lol.

The go karts there are beyond slow. You can walk faster than them. So me and my mates were just clipping each others tires and ramming into each other, because when they're that slow, why even bother racing?

We got kicked off pretty quickly.

Man, Greenhills used to be awesome with the BMX bikes and stuff. And then the big bad Insurance company came in.

[Damo_R34]

yeah i think have tohe go-kart format the same as the last one, 2 drivers per car endurance race, changing every 15 or so laps or whatever it was.

Ok then i will get to organising it

i will try and work out a good little deal for us all...

if you are deliberatly seen doing that they will kick you off their karts

[CRoNic...]
