Dave, I personally think you came on a little strong with the OP. It's true that he was a dreamer who needed a little dose of reality. but all of us need to be aware that not everyone understands that C4's are pretty complicated beasts that most amateur mechanics don't understand. We've all even seen shops that are stumped by our cars!

The OP was talking "old school" hot rodding, but needed to learn that his '93 is a "new school" car.

Patience is a virtue, especially when it's obvious that a person is in a bit over their head! Dreamers will be dreamers, and there's nothing wrong with that

Peace!!!!

 

Here's a clue...Whatever you think it's gonna cost, double it. Doesn't matter the year or engine type.

 

Unfortunately, this is where people go when they know that they're wrong...but aren't big enough to admit it. It's a bummer to see it happen...but it's all too common.

 

Please reread what I said

The phrase "Unless you have bought a car since you joined" opened up the possibility that he did, and I simply referenced he was looking in post 1.

Then I said "Building an engine before you have acquired the platform is a bit of putting the cart before the horse. There are considerations regarding which year you are building for" which at that point it wasn't specified that he actually had the car and then here was the clincher"

Nothing at all harsh, simply saying I didn't know he actually bought a car (usually everyone here leads off by saying what they have) and then simply saying there are considerations, which he couldn't believe. Then it all started because fredk had to throw in his worthless comment.

Had he simply said "oh" "what differences" and been open to not knowing something, it would not have gone down hill.

I spent months and months and months reading back posts, listening to what everyone here had to say. I knew jackshit about C4's, other than how to spell them before I joined the forum and I am big enough to admit it. I bought books, spent hours on the Internet to apply old school knowledge to these new cars. If you go back into my early posts you can read where I said I was trying to catch up. That I had jumped over to the diesel world for a bit and was coming back into the fold. I still don't know it all, but I am open to learning something each day.

AND I don't go into posts where I know nothing about what the post is about and call someone a dick.

 

Unsubing. This thread is a waste of time
