Am I the only one who thinks "f**k you" towards those people who post stolen skyline threads and only have 20 posts, i.e. !o social participation on SAU, but expect other people to frequent here / socially participate and help them out in their hour of need? Kind of like leeching files on a peer to peer file sharing program. Their post history is almost always full of "help me" posts.

Yeah, you are the only one... Their pride and joy has been stolen by some lowlife scum, they're trying to get the word out about it to see if anyone has seen it (and quite a few times this has come up with positive results, like someone saying they spotted it at XX:XXpm doing 140ks on mountain highway heading towards XXX or at a certain servo or broken down on the side of the road, resulting in some footage of the guy or recovery of the car).

If I noticed my car was stolen, I'd be going straight to facebook / forums and utilising the wide reach of the car community to help find it.

Not saying it doesn't work, but do you not see how that stolen car strategy wouldn't work if there weren't people who do the opposite of these guys and actually visit the forums outside of needing help? Can you refute the P2P leecher analogy? All take and no give is what I'm getting at. They only wanna know the community when they need.

haha with iOS I'm constantly getting the App Stores adds on this forum (the one where it opens some crappy game in the App Store). Pretty annoying, don't expect that from SAU (especially considering the server can't stay up for 1 day).

whats a half decent smart phone to buy? I'm sick iPhones, had every model since the 3gs... current iPhone is smashed to bits but still soldiers on and works... sometimes..

I had the standard HTC One. After 3 returns to get one that wasn't defective (first 1 had dead pixels, 2nd one had light leaking from the captive buttons, 3rd one had battery issues) I gave up after using it for 4 months. The build quality was terrible despite their efforts to make a premium feeling phone.

Edit: Oh and the software was also very flawed. Overly sensitive screen, crappy HTC Sense that had to be flashed to the Google Play Edition etc etc.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
