You don't find it comical when people list their tb spacer mod right next to the turbonator mod right next to the led valvestem caps?
nope. if thats what they want on their car, i pretty much can respect that. granted i may not want or like it on mine, their ride, their money, their choice. laughing at their choice or mods would be like not liking your best friends girlfriend, and making fun of her and him for their choice of dating.

Yep the ignorant idiot.... The dumbass trying to save people the hassle and expense of buying a @!#$ mod that doesn't do anything...
Peter Craig in this post page 1 ALREADY had said mod installed. how is you ridiculing HIS PRIOR CHOICES going to save him money now? yes thats being an idiot for ridiculing him and you ARE being ignorant to the fact that he had the mod already installed.
trust me, i've already covered this topic in the FAQ above in the sticky section. many posts have already covered this topic as well. people dont look for the posts, and some are too dumb and or ignorant to read the sticky posts. its cool to help out, but peter craig, like said already had the mod installed.
you arent saving him ANY money with an already installed and paid for part. and if it does nothing, yet doesnt harm anything.....removing it isnt gonna make a difference.

Who sounds like the jackass now? Let the people buy it, who gives a sh1t? I mean seriously its not my money....
you still sound like a jackass to me. lets think about this.... you are telling people NO DONT USE IT, CAUSE I SAID SO. you dont offer an reasons, testing, or any SCIENTIFIC DATA from dynos or otherwise as to why NOT to use it. how often on ONLINE FORUMS is there some jackass saying this and that and its either ALL HEARSAY or just made up info.
you might have the right notion and idea of persuading others from not using it, but you havent really posted anything that backs up your claims. if you want to educate people, you have to show them. else most will look at your random posts getting pissed off and acting like a child telling people "i will laugh at you all day for doing this".... and pretty much do the exact opposite of what you say DONT DO.
in a nutshell, its like you are training a dog to stay, but beating him with a lead pipe as reinforcement. good idea, bad execution.

Sorry I didn't mention every other make of car in the world that uses a tb spacer, I guess I should have when saying tb spacers don't work... or wait, isn't this a forum for jbodies? Wouldn't it make sense to say they don't work without actually saying they don't work on an ld9 eco or whatever? It would seem kind of pointless wouldn't it?
its a forum for j-bodies, yet you are in here with the BMW signature. you don't or havent posted any facts or testing of said part, regardless of a j-body forum or not.
in your official intake thread post you also mentioned and i quote:
Quote:
The engine can only "suck in" as much air as it physically can. This physical limit is easily overcome by your run of the mill intake. No need for fancy rams, tubes, venturi effects, intake pulse resonance, canadian whisky, or lettuce injectors.
intake pulse resonance? WTF....its called
Helmholtz resonance and yes its ACTUALLY useful on any size engined car,
Venturi Effect, just as useful on j-bodies.
two very major important parts of making an intake and you made a post saying there is "no need"...... from that alone, anything you post i would seriously question it.
not to mention your whole "official intake" post was pretty much what i had already covered in the PERFORMANCE FAQ at the top of the page...http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=2&i=215434&t=215434. and yes it covers TB spacers, intakes, exhausts and a few more things.... gave details and didnt just say "no, dont do this"....
the difference between your post and mine, is i did mine almost 5 years ago and went more indepth with things. you did yours a few months ago and at best is a cliff's notes version of what i wrote 5 years ago.

Please stop looking at the BMW guy as the jackass. I would dare to say I know more about your car then you do. Just because I am hating on ricer mods doesn't mean you have to hate on me. Like I said before, you can run your turbonator tornado tb spacer intake and I will still laugh at you.
i highly doubt you know more than me, with my car.
5 years of autoX, testing parts for quite a few companies on here, including RK SPORT and Howell Automotive, getting engine internals custom made to be on file for others via crane cams, arias pistons, and a few other companies. testing for various suspension parts... but i guess being here since this place started and accomplishing as much as i have over the past near decade.... you must know more about MY CAR than me, right?
you honestly sound like the idiots that would always tell me whats best for my cavalier brakes at pep boys when i SPECIFICALLY told em what i wanted, yet after 5 minutes of listening to their BS they didnt know that one could fit corvette brakes, rotors, and calipers on a cavalier. but they always knew more about my car then I did as well.
for the record, most people in this post arent hating on you cause of that, they are calling you on your BS, mainly because your hating is being done on a guy who had a mod far before you even knew about him having it....and you NOW sit here trying to act like you are magically gonna save him money.....
yes thats an idiotic concept.
