He doesn't know what a heater core is. Surprising for somebody who knows so much about Miata cooling systems. MX-5 Miata Forum - Question about Miata Heaters

He asked about how to go about repainting something himself. and then later brought up that he had already painted it prior to asking!.

You probably killed an idea before it formed.

Let's take it one better. Instead of injecting water, how about someone suggest you add something flammable, like oh, gasoline? That's the ticket! More gas!

Yeah, because intercoolers, intercooler pipes, boost controller lines and coolant lines are so unproven and a huge drag on the system.

I am suddenly reminded of a specific YoYo all of a sudden.

I think we should just give up on this guy. SRSLY, anyone this retarded doesn't deserve a decent explanation of how we measure time.

Wasn't he talking a week or two ago about how he didn't want the weight of a turbo system? And now he wants a 12psi non-intercooled setup? With an additional heater core? Wonder what the weight of the water for his water injection system is relative to the weight of an intercooler.

Innovation is one thing, reinventing the wheel is quite another. Especially when your "revolutionary" new proposed wheel designs are all square.

This board's collective obsession with Hyper is just bizarre.

From his writing and odd ideas, I'd guess he's a bit unbalanced mentally. Why are you guys so obsessed with hounding and harassing him?

People need to know about him. It is our duty to inform everyone. We can't let noobs read the **** he's posted and think it's good.
