My sister drives a BMW, Tjepkes is like my best friend, so being the great guy I am I do as much research I can on here. People should feel like retards for asking questions that just got asked a day ago. They need to learn the SEARCH function so I don't have to sift through tons of crap to find a thread with actual meaning. So STFU and deal with my opinions, I am only a dick when a dick be needed. Funny you don't mention any of the other smart ass comments made earlier by people, they obviosly aren't dicks, just the BMW owner is.
its not a BMW thing....by far it isnt.
if you know SQUARE ONE ABOUT WHO I AM, you'd already know German Cars, mainly Opels i tend to have favoritism towards em. i dunno maybe its the fact that i was born and raised in Wiesbaden, Germany for the first 9 years of my life may have something to do with it. or the fact german is my first language actually. or that i still own my first car and opel calibra and that car is still over in germany with family..... yea i may be a bit more biased towards european cars at times.... but i also dig american, and asian based cars just the same.
Normally, the fact that you had even part of a BMW as a sig, i'd love. I still think its cool....
but the fact that you came on the forum, talked crap, then actually had the nerve to say you prob know more about MY car than ME....kinda shows arrogance and lack of just general respect.
Then you go as far and say people who dont search and make repeat posts are bad an deserve what they get....... and yet you were the culprit of doing the same.......... pot meet kettle.
dont sweat it though...it happens. you are human just like them
-PJ's comment was just a directive link to your post
-makin waves was just being sarcastic/funny about the issue.
pretty much the rest of the people in this post were just being silly, which really isnt any harm.....
then came your post in response to peter craig. and then you kept going.
its nothing personal to you, but dude, you went total d-mode and kept it up with a guy who had already installed the mod days/months/weeks ago....
does it matter why he hasnt taken it off? no
does it hurt performance? no
if it can make a car dangerous to handle, or dangerous on the road, i'd back you in no time flat.... but it really doesnt do anything at all, good or bad.
so i said something..... you kept going and eventually, as the saying goes... "if you give a yard dog enough chain he will eventually choke himself with it"
YOU, whatever your name is, in real life.... you might be a pretty cool guy. who knows. i dont know if you really laugh at people in their face cause they may have a mod you prefer or actually like and APPROVE OF.... thats not cool. but otherwise you may be.
but on here, went a bit over the actual issue.
heres a newsflash for ya as well..... at times in the past on here, i used to be the same way at times. as i got older, i got wiser, hopefully more mature as well.
it used to irritate me a few times back when there WAS NOT any tuning,
NO GM Superchargers
NO Turbo tech engine mounts
NO (well pretty much fill in the blank anything before RSM parts were around) name any performance part thats recently new...
at best we had Mantapart, GRD, and Caspers Electronics, with rksport.....
the front page of the performance forum was about 40-60% of "which is the best intake" posts. literally, no exaggeration.
There WAS NOT a "newbies forum".....
this site was far different back in the late 90's early 2000's, and with lack of parts back then, more irritating and frustrating. Now, everything is made for this car it seems. tuners, turbos, intakes, exhausts, suspension mods, coilovers, etc...
listen....people are not all gonna search. sure it makes things go easier. HELL, it used to be a part of my forum signatures back in the day!!!! Heres 4 of em:
and i LINKED EVERY ONE OF EM to the search function... but as said, not everyone will use it. if 2 people out of 10 used it, it was worth it. many times people would just send me an email and say "hey this is what i found, i couldnt find the answer exactly".... so i'd help em out to find the answer.
point being is that some just dont know, others just dont give a crap, and then there are those who are impatient make a post and expect a less than 2 minute reply (i'm sure you;ve seen those)....
so at the end of this pretty much dead post now..... i didnt get on you specifically cause you have a BMW. its basically just someone saying, "chill....just a bit." you catch more flies with honey than vineagar. and dont just tell people they are wrong or dont use this..... if you have as much knowledge as you boast you do.....
actually use it to show people why the part doesnt work or takes away power, etc.... trust me, it works far better for everyone... even i have made mistakes learning to do things that way. and on the dodge forums, it took me talking to a guy in kuwait having him do some dyno runs that showed he lost about 8HP and 16TQ with a JET STAGE 2 MODULE......
people eventually saw that there is NOT a chip for OBD2, rallied behind a company that had handheld programmers....now 6 months later we've already passed the first wave of beta testing for the product and theres now a group purchase goin on.
sure i could have came in said you guys are a bunch of idiots, you think your car has a chip, i will now laugh at you...... and give no explanation why the jet module was bad..... but in taking time, people like to see reasons why something is bad for them....
just a suggestion
and P.S. at my age, i am only a dick when needed as well.... this just turned out to be one of those times
but dont be mad about it, like said, just chill a bit. from my own experiences and being a dick sometimes, trust me, it works better....
..... no u apparently didnt read through so im gonna let that one go, what i was stating is that he was arguing with everybody about their opinion on A PART THAT HAS BEEN LABELED AS A "FAILURE" IN GAINS. and then he made fun of someones bodykit because of the same part, but the part was already on the car when he bought it, and then i stated why are u on the jbo bashing people and their opinions when your driving a bmw (why not troll through the bmw forums) ???? i hope this help's to overcome the internet illiteracy in this thread!!!!!
) but people that dont know you are gonna think your thrashing on them because they drive a "lowly" cavalier not knowing that you have had past experience with our cars.
