M.net GORD rant
 

How did this guy become a Moderator. He is one of the biggest doo doo heads on there. Want an ass, he wrote


("flush" is not a factor in how the car handles - that's strictly an appearance thing.

Yes, spacers will affect handling - especially huge ones like 25mm. They'll change the scrub radius of the front suspension, and the motion ratios of both front and rear, thus changing the effective spring rates. Could be good, could be bad - the trick is knowing which! Flushness by itself certainly is not a measure. For superficial, shallow, people who don't understand suspension engineering, and who judge based on appearance over any performance impact, perhap it's a worthy goal... )


A guy with cut springs must know something that the rest of the world don't.
He is such the Suspension expert.:confused:

Sorry I am now done with my rant.

Weaksauce rant. Grow more hair on your testicles.

I was trying to be nice. I guess I need to get my testicles out of your girls mouth.

Is that better?

He's right about scrub radius being effected though. :shrug:

This is the part I have issue with. And alot of the other crap he posts.

boy, he would be kicked out of clubsportmax.net .......err........clubroadster.net..... with the swiftness if he posted that there. lol.

I heard there was some test that all m.net mods have to go through,I believe it was a test to see how good they can polish Gary's shift knob,and Gord past with excellent results(did not spill a drop).

ROTFL That was a great post.

It's funny how he tries to defend himself with technical talk on why he cut his stock springs.

Damn wine & cheese ricer.

Everybody loves Gord..... really.....

Dave,

There is a huge local miata run coming up this summer,I know for sure Gord attends this run every year,I might go just to see him and cut him down on his cut springs.

I want video of that.:bigtu:

Now he is over there insulting him self.

cut springs? really? wtf is that about

Who gives a flying fuck, Im all for ripping on people but jeeesus find somebody a little more boring...

he is one of the mods I hate the most, very elitist and condescending.

whatever

Heh, I agree with what he said. :p

Cut spings aren't necessarily bad. Depends on how you cut them and how much you cut off. Shortening the spring does in fact increase spring rate and it lowers the car.

The problem is that it isn't a very accurate way of doing things, I guess you could get the spring rate tested.

Anyway, he's a tool (Canadian to boot) but there are so many more valid and funny ways than cut stock springs to illustrate that.

Try again.

It would only increase the spring rate if it was a progressive spring, not if its linear. That said, I dont know what the miata is stock. Probably progressive just to spite me.
