Jayc WTF Sam does some good detailed writeups that explaine valid points to new commers of all sorts. Are you gonna say Braineack or i are a waste of Bandwith to or Pherhaps olderguy or Phillip. We are all here trying to learn While i would not personally go with a junk yard turbo on my miata. that does not make it wrong or stupid to do it. I have horrible luck with junk yards around here and distrust ebay so i bought new shit + i figured i could use it as an example for a DIY with no welding or extra tools and Viola it worked how bout that. Jayc Grow up man. Gord has pissed me off to but still. The guy is entitled to vent, he would do it on M.net but then nobody would ge tto read it as it would get deleted. Sam i feel for ya but hey its just the internet. Now everybody please just take a step back and chill. KTB

Was I a little harsh in my response to Sam accusing people of wasting bandwidth? Yes. Despite that I had a valid point. Sam's a big boy let him confront me if that's what he wants to do. I really don't think he needs you or anyone to come to his defense.

Do you not see the parallel between cutting stock springs and using a junkyard frankenturbo? I personally wouldn't use cut stock springs, that does not make it wrong or stupid to do it.

Even a linear, non-coil spring's stiffness is dependent on length. Think of the simplified elastic stiffness of a prismatic, isotropic, homogeneous bar: k=EA/L. Hmm...I wonder if L matters?

when did miatas start coming with non-coil springs?

All Miatas have coil springs wiseass :drama:

A coilspring is nothing but a linear spring wound up. Same rules apply.

Jay and I have made up via PM. We still don't see 100% eye to eye, but we can get over it. I won't be shortening my posts any and he won't stop calling me out when I'm wrong... so everything will work out in the end.

As for the anti m.net comments... that's what makes us special. We're the radical bastard offshoot of an otherwise fine group of hobbyists... like the militant wing of the Salvation Army. We keeps it real over here!
