taken from neil thread

don't know why people get shitty at martin? i know many people including my mechanic who swears by his tuning!

im not shitty at martin just dont think there should be talk of illegal activitys on the forums practically on a thread called officer neil, are we trying to promote are selves as being a responsible club? our forum is full of "you all drive like hoons and have illegal parts" kind of talk. saying that though he's definately not the only one that's posted such talk and at least put some constructiveness to his comments. i guess the aim was don't think your invincible

people on the cruises are the 1s that have to deal with the negative image those who do not attend set with those comments.

anyone that shows up for a cruise has a 1st hand opinion on what happens anyone that does not is going by hear say

and why is there so much talk about what martin does on cars??? it dosnt have anything to do with the issue in my opinion. im not saying he's less of a member because he dosnt show up to cruises or dosnt know how to double my cars hp.

i dont see this as being disrespectful, if it was an issue on building engines im sure you could bring ya racing background into it but on this topic i fail to see the connection between building engines and knowing what happens on cruises

Dan, fair enough but I just had another look at the thread and I don't think he was condoning illegal activities or accussing anyone on here of them.

The talk about the guy's background was brought up due to the fact that he was told to leave and not come back just because he didn't attend cruises......well that's how peeps were going to perceive it anyway, hence why his contribution to the sport was indeed OT.

can everyone chill the f**k out? My god, might as well go back to NS.com.

The post whores that everyone constantly relates to (well the ones that i can think of) have always been there at events, either organising or supporting, so saying that they are here to just increase their post count is ludicrous. I can safely say that any of them (us, whatever) would be more than happy to post less if the moderators/administrators thought it would be necessary. As Dan said, im not saying anyone who isn't there at events/meets etc is less of a member, but implying that post whores are on here to just post meaningless drivel 24 hours a day 7 days a week is incorrect.

Jesus! :sick:

Had a depressing realisation ...

Doing the budget/books for my two properties and for the first time in my life, my equity exceeds my borrowing capacity! :laugh:

If I hold out long enough ... I might be able to get that 34 GTR one day :sick:

Pete, I've noticed you've been using the word "OT" to mean both On-Topic... AND... Off-Topic in various sentences. Reading along and then come up to "OT" and need to pause for a sec to see if in that certain sentence it means On-Topic or Off-Topic. :sick:

can snag 34 gtr for 40-45 grand these days Ruby!

I have enough equity to snag half a dozen of them, but can't ... yet! :sick:

When I first read it, I thought he was referring to overtime :laugh:

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
