I will never understand the bashing on Miata.net. It is by FAR the best specific automotive forum. Sure they dont accept stupid **** but why is that a reason to bash on them? There information still amazes me to this day its almost like they could close it down forever and there will be everything you will ever need to know. Anyways this thread sucks.

I've noticed M.neters don't like thinking outside the box, the find a good vendor and believe in everything they sell and do.
Read supercharger guys posts. Always fueling problems cause they refuse to believe in a RRFPR, but since JR came out with a powercard their lives are saved and have the time they aren't hooking them up right or even working good enough.
Read the suspension forums. Only a few acceptable setups allowed for discussion. Theories or new products are usually bashed untill they give up.
Just too many people with strong opinions and mods catering to sponsors, you really have to sift through the **** to find interesting reading.
Regardless I post there everyday for info and trying to recruit newbies to the FI section there over here so they can get answers, not drama.

God forbid you recommend a $2000 turbo set up after a mod recommends a $4500 set up plus a $2000 stand alone. BTW, the original poster was after ~160 rwhp and drivability.

My fav car related forum btw is vwvortex, ive been a member there since 2002 right about the time I picked up a gti. Its since been totaled, but im still on there.
The miata is a favorite among members there

Well the vortex is a HUGE forum and certain sub-forums within it have certain groups of users that have their so called "views" on things and what not. Since I dont have my dub anymore, I dont view the model specific forums. Those are where a lot of the elitism is. I guess ive been on there so long that I know when I see BS and just avoid it. Its better off that way.

Another thing I noticed is that we all love BEGi here, whereas they all love FM there. Another example of sticking with a vendor over the man behind the beast. It's entertaining reading Corky vs Keith over there disputing turbo theories.
I'm not saying FM is a bad company, but Corky was the one who taught them everything and they did the marketing and selling.

your low offset wheels will kill the wheel bearings prematurely! you'll only get 100k miles out of them now. wtfever

if i get 100K out of my current setup i think i would quite happily replace the stuff with better and do it agian. some of those people just dont get that you buy sticky tires and make cars fast to enjoy them not to polish and wax on them sure that will get you babes but, i would rather be wrneching or driving on my car than washing and waxing it.

The classic example; Mark Booth's Ride (M.net moderator)

It's a pretty sweet interior though...

You don't get near as much Astroglide splashback in your eyes from vendor stroking over on the Vortex like you do at M.net. You do get the sheep mentality though when it comes to styling...at least in the MKIII forum. Those guys are also really reluctant to jump on the water injection as well since no Vortex Allstars are running it. Most my VW sales were from my close buddies who all run boosted Vr6's.
