Thats stupid. My car makes flat torque from 3500-7000. Lets me shift less. Less shifting, faster lap times.

Because he bought a pile of parts and a half finished project from someone else, didn't bother reading anything put in front of him, said everyone else sucks, that his stuff is the best, with no sort of evidence of any kind to back anything up.

It's like inheriting your Dad's bowling ball, then proclaiming to the world that you're the best bowler ever.

And you've never thrown a frame.

Your car makes flat torque from 3500-7000 if you start at 2000rpm. You're still in the wrong gear if you're south of 4000rpm.

It will make 200ft/lbs at 3500rpm whether i start at 2krpm or 3400rpm.

This is autism to the nth degree.

Now all of you sound like a bunch of retards.

Lol @ troll thread brings all the trolls to the yard.

Can someone lock dis bitch up already? im unsubbing

Torque doesn't matter, power does. If not down shifting at 3500 RPM makes you faster, you are really slow at shifting. The fact that you have more power at higher RPM's (say 6000 vs. 3500, not sure of what the typical shift differential would be from a typical track gear) means you'd have much more torque at the wheels in the more appropriate gear. Unless your power drops off and you actually have more torque at the wheels in a higher gear, lower RPM.

They hate me cause they aint me :dealwithit:

Thanks for being real and not hiding behind a curtain of envy. I really appreciate it and hope I get to show you what this build becomes.......if the hate doesn't consume the moderators.

No envy here. Sounds like a big waste of money :D

I'm always consumed with hate. Don't take it personally. :fawk:

Still waiting on pictures. And Dyno plots.

It sounds like you're analyzing this in torque by gear when torque is typically measured at the gear that is or closest to 1. That's what the previous remark is referring to so you comment is like an orange to his apple.

Still waiting on proof that you know what you're doing. Perhaps we will have it, and the lauding will commence.

What do you want pictures of exactly? lol I just posted pictures like 3 days ago of the car and various parts. I will only get to work on the car 1-2 days per week as I'm also in the middle of an addition to my house(addiing on a 2400 sq ft garage) Want pics of that too?!? I should still have it cleaned up and running by the end of the year.

Why don't you just chill out and be patient? It's only been like 2 weeks since I got the car. Being rude isn't going to make me build it any faster and whether I post other projects or don't wont change what I'm doing either and why would I want to prove my skills to people that are rude and demanding?

I was just as Zion a couple weeks ago and would have came and given you a hug if I'd known how in need you are of one:ky:

OP continue to build out your lair or adding a garage or whatever to your bridge, and let's see what you can make with the combination of someone else's project leavings and your brilliance. There is a opportunity to make the Nay Sayers eat crow, I don't think you can capitalize on it though.


​​​​​​.... on a related subject if you ignore aides does it just go away, or does it consume you like envy?

ignore aides? who are these aides? I've only met trolls here.

Torque at the wheels changes, not torque at the motor.

Random pic of part of the garagehttps://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...8e32dbf44.jpeg

Please move to built: big garage.... now what to do? thread. :giggle:

Still lots to do. Insulation, drywall, siding, epoxy, lifts, shelving, paint, the floor above the garage, the floor above the floor above the garage.

Nobody will be impressed by that here. We value results over shiny build pics.

So, how much of that stuff did you actually do? Were you the guy who installed the cone filters or did you fabricate the manifold? How did those builds perform?

now you sound like me when I do job interviews.

"well I was on the team that did XYZ..."

PASS

People ask for pics, others tell me pics are worthless. There is no winning here.

I did all of it except the final welding. I can weld but I have friends that can better because it's their job. They performed well. Let me guess you're looking for dyno plots or time slips now?:facepalm:


I have a feeling no matter what I do it will never get the approval of the trolls here. Dont worry though, you Nancys dont bring me down:cool:

Milspec is here. Has anyone here ever done a Milspec harness/plug?

Maybe.

But not for cars.

Nobody here has ever even HEARD of that WOW! What IS that?!?!??!

Hairdresser, just continue your build and keep us updated with pictures.

I have a pipeline for some milspec fluid for ya if you want some....


Yeah it's real stuff, we use it for triggers mostly.

I did long time ago for a racecar. It was super nice to use when it was built and we never had problems with it, but what a pain making all the harness/connectors was. Also tools were stupid expensive, I think the crimper alone was 500 bucks.

Haha....as you see the crimper in the pic(it wasn't $500)

Pat, you're the guy I've wanted to see in here. You have a link to your build thread?

You can find almost any crimper you want, copied, from china, for under $100 these days. Its not like it was a few years ago. They are good enough for the home gamer.

I put these together at work. Incorporate service loops.

Just read all of this. Holy shit I joined the right forum. Does not disappoint.

side note: I can't even be mad at the b5s4 stuff. I'm a sucker for a nice 2.7t

11 pages of basically " fuck you, we dont believe you so try to prove us wrong you little bitch".

I'm a pro.
Here's a picture of an engine
:dealwithit:

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...3c625ed531.jpg

all responses to this thread we're well deserved lol.

I bet that engine uses VAG fsi coils

Your mom's VAG uses my coil(s).

​​​​​​​Get your coils checked....cuz you know...fail aides

I actually had to replace my Golf R coils at like 45k. Heavy misfire at 30psi lol

That looks like a shitty situation

Oh this isn't the baking thread.. well kookies on grape nuts folks!
