Merli, what do you feel your role is?

If you are so offended by Squizz, then maybe you should take him up on the offer of the poll.

From an above post...

You weren't chosen to be a moderator because "you were the best person for the job", you were chosen because you posted a lot and spent a lot of time browsing the forums.

surely someone who spends a lot of time browsing, is going to be one of the best people to do the job??

I have nothing positive to say? Did you even READ my first post? That was all aimed at a positive future of SAU pat.gif

My role here is to browse the forums and post when I feel like it.

Unfortunately I was privvy to the rants of a few disgruntled moderators, so I thought I should say something before SAU fell apart. The aim of this thread was to get people to say what was bothering them about SAU and the way it was being run, so hopefully moderators could take an objective view, sit back and see if people have a valid point or not, and then hopefully make inroads to fixing any problems.

someone who spends a lot of time browsing, and is mature enough to make forum decisions, untainted by emotion, bias, grudges and personal vendettas? YES.

Most of the issues that seem to be arising in relation to 'forum issues' are people who have issues with others.

Personally, it's my belief that if you have a problem with someone, you should take it up with them personally instead of posting your feelings on a public forum.

I am another person who feels that there are 'too many cheifs', and by saying this, I am putting my own moderator status on the line.

Some moderators were 'assigned', others were added as moderators because they are responsible people, and can make a judgement call without having to defend themselves.

I don't think that the forum needs so many moderators, as there is a button on every post that allows posts to be reported.

As long as the reported posts are being taken care of, then thats all that matters.

:)

I pretty much agree with everything you just said, except for the "too many cheifs" thing... I'm still undecided about that, as ideally, it shouldn't *really* matter how many moderators there were, as long as they were all mature and sensible. Of course this is but just a dream we call Utopia ;)

Again, the aim of this thread wasn't to start culling moderators. Not from my perspective anyway...

:uh-huh:

i dont think the 'to many chief' thing applies anyway because we all have the same amount of power so really it doesnt matter. atm i cant think of what else to say to make my statement sound better and more understanding because im sick and just woke up

True - we could have 1400 members and 1400 mods provided they all did their job correctly.

People need to start taking constructive feedback as that - not an insult. (me included).

My feedback is that everyone should stop letting their personal feelings get in the way of this forum.

Everything's becoming far too serious here & there's some large egos getting in everyone's way.

This place is turning into SDU........or even worse........PF.

Stop all the moaning & get on with your lives.........IT'S ONLY A FORUM.

Just being with friends with common interests and having a good time like we all have been doing.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
