Not a single period or a single capitalized letter. How the hell do you expect anybody to read that? Seriously, one enormous run-on sentence? I promise you will get bothing but shite from this forum if you don't take the time to help us help you.

At least you know how to use smilies:jerkit:

And for the record, the internet wasn't invented yesterday. Every forum you have ever joined has SUBFORUMS that at the beginning are sticky's. If you join a forum and don't read the sticky's, you're just wasting your time and ours. Grow up.

We're good people here, really, but this place is a step and a half above HondaTech or DSMTuners. We care about the quality of knowledge contained here and we are hard on NOOBs on purpose sometimes to get the point across that growth in the community is a TEAM effort. Everybody has to do their part. Your part can start with taking the time to write clear and coherent posts, and the rest of us will take it from there.

I have never joined a forum before,
I'm just getting used to how it all works.

so please give me a chance to understand it all, but as far as it goes so far you all have helped.

Thanks for all the grillings that always adds to the enjoyment of it all. lol

I wanna play!

No one has ever diy turbo'd a miata before.
OP you are a Pioneer.

whats this then :/ https://www.miataturbo.net/showthrea...+build&page=12

That's an abomination

Jesus... maybe not the greatest question to ask, but even as this guy gets bombarded with moronic and insulting responses, he still responds kindly. And the result? More insults... what a friendly place.

Here's a simple solution: get the f@ck out.

How do you join this forum in 08 and not read ANYTHING on it?

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1332705403

I hate it when people type like that, I have to read the whole thing without inhaling.

YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!

While I think automotive forums are great places to meet people who share similar interests... I'm here to learn, not to be your friend, so I believe I'll stay. I'll just try and wade through any of your posts that are worthless (such as this one) to find the informative ones. You seem to have been here for quite some time, and with a post count like that, I'm sure you have many valuable posts and I'm sure there's a lot I could learn from them. Thanks for the warm welcome though!

I haven't owned a Miata since '08. I'm purchasing one this week, and so here I am! And I'm not sure where you got the idea I haven't read anything on this forum... not posting does not equal not reading. I've been on my fair share of automotive forums and while I understand the frustration that comes from questions such as these... I just thought the responses were all a little over the top. That's all!

We need a newbie area with all the links there in a "for dummies" format.. where people have information spoonfed to them... wait we do... and you missed it as this is your first thread to post in.

Well i know the link i sent you is a shocking thing to call a turbo'd car, but i am putting more effort into it all.

And it will be stainless braided hoses and so on, like i said i have a friend who race preps cars so no reason i cant do it with him

All the parts i can get in stainless... will be stainless! inter cooler is a forge i have that already

Did you read the 2nd post?

Let me link it so theres no confusion.

https://www.miataturbo.net/showpost....75&postcount=2

I have read it yes thanks.

+1 - it's a lot of information, but take the time. It really does get you through everything you need to know.

I i only joined the other day... what is it with everyone's lack of respect on here?

you join a forum to learn and to meet new people, and i get hounded by everyone.

if this is what its like for anyone who joins, then good luck to you all.

i might just get the F*ck out as i'm clearly not going to get anything from this forum

but thanks to the people who have taken to time to help me, My apologies for my grammar and spelling im dyslexic

cheers.

:slap: :gtfo:

Second post

"ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED IN ONE POST"

Attachment 185990

Not to mention the entire "BUILD THREAD" section where 99% of the cars are DIY.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1332708107

The issue is people come in here asking the same questions quite often instead of searching and then asking a more intelligent question later, which would be fine.

The force is weak in this one, toss him in the pit.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1332708418

^I miss those days

well im hear to learn from people, And all i get is s*it so what you expect?

An excellent answer was given (post #2), what is wrong with that? Do you want to be spoon fed?

Bottom line: this forum is extremely helpful, and all of us "meanies" actually go out of our ways to help those that want to make their miatas fast.
But when someone is as ignorant and lazy as OP and asks one of the top 10 stupidest questions you can possibly come up with on a miata turbo forum, you can bet he'll be getting sarcastic replies.

cliff notes: we don't spoon feed.

We expect less talking and more learning.

Feel free to ask away, but be sure to take the time to search before you speak.

If you do ask a question, at least take the time to write a halfway intelligent post and it'll get treated with more respect next time.

Eventually post up some progress pics of your build and you'll become one of us.

S-t-e-p 1 (first thing you should do) Read the "sticky" post for the noobs.

S-t-e-p 2 (things that follows the first thing you should do) review build threads in the "build thread" section.

S-t-e-p 3 (things to do in case step 1 and 2 are not effective) repeat step 1 and step 2 till you have an idea where you're standing.

Well im sorry i asked such a stupid question, and i cant really help my writing as much.

But i will do more reading and less talking till is is worth talking about thanks :/

Welcome to the forum :wavey:

you're finally learning. time to read up first

thank you

Yup, basically the only post in this now three page thread that has said anything worth reading. Like I said, I get the frustration, and I wasn't personally attacking anybody, all I'm saying is I was shocked at the disrespect that followed. First and foremost, I do my best not to judge... but secondly, if I do think someone is ignorant, my first reaction is not usually to insult them for it. Especially when they respond not by getting defensive or rude, but by going with the flow and still being kind.


I get it, really. The sarcasm seemed more like insults to me, that's all, a lot of which came before he even had the chance to respond to the second post (and then his next post even made light on the fact that someone called him stupid! I just felt this guy deserved a little more credit or respect than he was being given, he clearly stated after that this was the first forum he's signed up for).

I believe you when you say you do go out of your way to help others learn. I already stated that earlier, and thank you for the negative prop by the way, not sure how my response to you deserved it though. Everybody starts somewhere, and I've spent a lot of time on forums like these. It just irks me that as a community, people would rather use their time to post a worthless insult than provide any kind of assistance. I'm not saying spoon feed the guy, as the saying goes, teach him to fish. PhillyB began that process immediately, but why don't we go through and count the number of posts in this thread and determine which posts were utterly worthless, and which provided any assistance at all.

I never neg prop'd anyone ever

Until now.

lol nope.
I'm a very positive person:D

I'm just guessing here, but....

when a newbie, which people don't have problems with on this site, asks questions that have already been answered, organized, thoroughly discussed and have CLEARLY been made accessible, it makes the users in this community who have actually spent their time (for free I might add) trying to build a database feel like they have utterly wasted hours.

Think about if you were in a classroom, and the teacher put everything you needed to know on the screen including all of the answers for an assignment, and yet you still went up to your professor and asked him/her about what you needed to do in order to finish thus assignment. If I were that prof, I'd probably just tell you to leave. Now on the other hand, if those questions were about the answers and maybe about how some of them didn't make sense, or if something was wrong, that's a bit different

so stop crying

And you've been here since 2008? "reading"? ... Anyhooters it used to be worse really. Those that could hack it stayed the rest left.

Im going to stay, not going to let a few people put me off.

A lot of interesting things to learn about on here.

Heh, just got done wiping the tears away, thanks ;). With one last statement, I will respectfully bow out of this thread, because this is just ridiculous. My thought process is that as a community that's here to help connect those who have a great understanding of these things with those who don't, the time could be better spent responding respectfully (and maybe even intelligently... seems difficult for some people in this thread) than searching the internet for pictures to post up to insult somebody. THAT sounds like a waste of time to me...

I have not been here since 2008 reading. I had a Miata in 2008, so I registered, purchased a turbo kit, read, etc. I ended up selling the Miata before I really got a chance to go where I wanted with it sadly. I have been back a few times since, because I've considered purchasing another Miata several times, with the intent of going FI. Now that I am officially purchasing one this week, I am back. Not sure why you're even asking these questions or why they matter? I'm not the OP, all I was saying was maybe people's responses could have been a little more constructive...

Dude, I think you're still missing the point... nobody is trying to "put you off"... we're treating you like an adult. If we had simply answered your questions and been nice, it would have been treating you as if you were a child. However, you don't treat children like we treat noobs as a lesson on how to behave. We are teaching you like men with dicks and ass-hair should be treated and taught... like a freaking MAN BABY!!!

Guys who get all butt-hurt and leave the forum after some basic hazing would never have contributed anything anyways since they probably lacked a basic sense of humor and lets face it... if you're a man with ass-hair and drive a Miata, you're either a legit homosexual or the exact opposite... no middle ground... and a sense of humor is mandatory.

Go back and read this whole thread again. Laugh at yourself for asking a dumb question that was answered in depth in a sticky. Then laugh at yourself for taking our jokes seriously. Then find something useful to start a thread about... like maybe you're somebody who has an intimate knowledge of the inner-workings of a fireworks factory and some good pictures... then start an INTRO thread or post up your stuff in the BS forum and BECOME A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY. Now you are being productive and useful and we really are starved around here for that kind of stuff.

PS: The internet is very serious business, just ask around.

Its almost like he's a troll.

QFT.

If you don't have much of a sense of humor then Miata.net might suit you better.

:/

please no pics of ass hair.... please....

do*

I have laughed at my self already for asking a question, that is right there in my face to get the answers to my self.

And thanks for having me on the form, i want to learn from people.

Im a genuine man with a hairy ass with a miata who is married so im not a homosexual...

ps each to there own if that's what floats your boat go for it.

like i said i am sorry for wasting everyone's time... And please bare with me over my grammar im not the best at it lol

i will also do as i said when i start this project i will share the pics with you all

thanks hope to talk some time soon.

It's good your sticking around. I've already learn a lot of things just lurking and searching around on this forum, and I haven't been a member long.

No doubt, the mt.net community can help you with any trouble you may have during your turbo build... Just makes sure you search first, because more than likely someone probably had a similar issue or question :)
