think the title says tech/performance. We watch a motor like Oliver's being built, contribute to solving the problems and then he is not allowed to post the results in the section that gave him the help. I seldom wonder to the general section so I miss his posts.
My car is comming out in the next few days. I have posted alot about it's modifications. Now that is it ready for road testing do I go somewhere else to post the results of my testing?? I feel if the results are just as important as the techinical questons and the group of guys that contributed/followed along.
I don't want to post my test ride in General where I don't hang out.
Testing/results should be part of tech. We are a group with the same interests why stick our results with someone who wonders what oil to use, what tire pressure to set the tires, what wax gives the best shine.
That stuff is general, Oliver's times and updates belong with the tec group

I knew this would happen when you voted to split the forum...what you've done now is form a clique, you want all your posts to go to tech because you don't hang out in teh General.....well, you voted for teh split, you have to live with it...test rides and test results go in teh General...period...end of discussion....

...the flipside of the coin

It should go in General if it's a standalone topic, if it's psoted in the original tech thread then it would stay here.

that is easy to live with, I am still thrilled about having a tech/performance section and a Cdn section so I'll abide by whatever rules there are.

If I'd post in the original thread, nobody would expect to find the track results in there because the title doesn't reveal that.
I was from the beginning against the split....
Furthermore, it's not just one thread...it's lots of them with my updates on my setup, so how would I choose the one where I'd post the results??
Looks like I'll have to make up a tech question in combination with my ET posts to be able to put them in Tech..
