I have noticed a lot of shit fighting going on over there especially with build threads of peoples rides.Lots of personal attacks lately and most notably for me is that of VooDoo's Administrative Suspension.....i don't get it....am i missing something :confused:

I value a lot of peoples opinions over the fence and for that matter here but i must be just too naive in the world of car enthusiasts to realise that there are people who will tear you down in a heartbeat and for what.....to satisfy their egos.

I must admit i've copped a bit of shit via PM's over there but i can handle that side of things(did i mention i hate confrontations :rolleyes:)and if i'm wrong about something then i say i'm wrong but fuck some things just piss me off no end...Stewart leaving being one of them.

What happened mate that pushed you toward your decision?I hope it was nothing too serious.Whatever the reason even though i had very little dealings with you if at all,i respect you and enjoyed reading your contributions....thank you for that.Don't fall of the face of the planet cause i may need a sea change and might need to contact you for some work :D

Am i over reading the situation or is this why TrackChat was born...to rid ourselves of the constant bitching and bullshit that seems to have exacerbated of late.Yes some people cause shit for themselves but for the most part the personal attacks are unwarranted IMHO!

End rant.....time for some of these :beer:

Dude, I've got no idea what all that's about as I pretty much only go on there to check out the classifieds. And thats only every so often. Every time I click on new posts there 20 pages :confused: . So it's a case of "mark forums read". Contributions are few & far between.

We're lucky here... we've only got to put up with ...HAT ego's :nana: .

Huge ego's can destroy an internet forum pretty quick. I like to 0 BS tollerance policy - works well I find.

To an extent Wombie i think a lot of the crap is just an attribute of any massive online forum. The sheep station sponsorship aspect complicates matters too. Recognise it for what it is i guess. You can always go there, hit New Posts and get out the pop-corn!

What happened with Voodoo? I must have missed that.

Mate i'm not sure exactly but it's been my observation that a few members there have been running him down with a few low cowardly comments and probably PMs but he must have had enough.Only he knows the full story.

It's just a shame that's all.

G'day Wombie,

I do understand what you are saying, and I hear ya mate. It almost seems like someone gave a kid a new toy that wants to use it for destructive purposes.
It seems to all lead back to an old saying "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" there does seem to be quite a bit less on biting ones own tongue these days in forums and life. And forums seem at time like a free for all at time with "electronic hooning" and "shenanigans".
Some of the forums that I have looked at are nothing more that a crap sling fest. This behaviour is ridiculous.

We can't control other peoples action, but we can control ourselves!

I agree mate, and well put!

Cheers,
Steve :cheers:

The whole place seems to have dumbed down a bit, part of it i reackon is the ls1 is getting long in the tooth these days so they are more affordable, you can get a vt ss for 10k so there is a lot more trashtalking wannabes.

Another thing that doesnt help is the whole tuna/sonny debacle...they've obviousy had a pretty big fall out, and airing their dirty laundry in public is doing neither of them any favours....though im pissing myself laughing watching their egos collide :slap:

Sounds like the same thing that is beginning to happen at ECCA. Now the E36 is so affordable people are jumping in them and on the forum posting stupid stuff with no regards for searches or common sense. The act like tossers some of them.

My take on Daz is ... LS1 is more about money than enthusiasts these days and also the ongoing contest to "out piss" or undo the next person or competitor.

Whilst LS1 is a varitable font of info for LS1 owners it is also the home of pissing contests and tall poopy syndrome. The preferred marketing technique for many (specific) sponsors is to deliberately shit pick and find fault with what others are doing.

You then have those who are so tightly aligned with "their tuner" that you can't tell where "the tuner" starts and the "fan" finishes. This in turn creates a goon following which is IMO displayed with an attitude that "my tuner knows everything" type of mentality whereby everything "the tuner" says and does MUST be the best and always right" ... boring really!

As the egocentric senior HATTRAY :woot: has eluded to ... there are just too many egos. Most of it stems from a specific corner of LS1 which I'd be happy to discuss with you in person ... the common theme being that a specific sector spots an opportunity to make some bucks from (insert name here) until such time as (insert name here) works out that they're only interested in money ... and are prepared to sell shit ... (insert name here) then gets dropped like the proverbial bag of shit and made (in no uncertain terms) to look like the bad guy who dared to rubbish a genuinely shit product etc.

Complex much !!!

Don't even try to understand it Daz ... there's nothing of any value in doing so. Complex in nature with most of the interesting stuff occurring behind closed doors in places such as MSN, PM, mIRC and similar. Sift through the shit and treat LS1 for what it is. A filtered, sponsored, self promoted, egocentric, two faced internet forum. Gain whatever value you can from it and understand that a lot of what you see on the magical blue screen IS nothing more than a scripted/edited version of what actually happened. It's the stuff you don't hear about and that ISN'T posted that really defines LS1 in many ways.

Don't get me wrong ... there's a LOT of good things about LS1 such as the members. That's ultimately what makes it ... much of that has filtered over here to TC which is great. VooDoo's departure from LS1 I suspect would be due to a complex series of events that has occurred over a span of time. Only a select few will know about it. Whilst a shame ... the forum will no doubt continue.

:cool:

That's the problem with a sponsored forum. The dollar speaks louder and reality gets left behind in the wake...

There was some detailer dude awhile back that ripped a few people off on the forum and was a protected species for quite some time - eventually it got out that the guy was a fraud but in the meantime plenty got sucked in because they only allowed posts that blew wind up the guys arse...

Don't get me wrong - there's still plenty of good guys and plenty of good reading over there. But the fact it's so commercial is not a good thing...

Yes ls1 has basically become an online magazine now, dollars are taken for advertising - and no magazine will allow negative commentary. There's the whole libel/slander legal thing too (for negative reviews). It's a bit dangerous for newbies looking for products/services (probably not much different to reading SMC really!). The net effect of ls1 is good though. A lot of people knock it but they still spend a significant chunk of their time there. That's what makes it a really useful resource, the huge collective audience; it's the largest ls1 community we have, with a vast database of questions & answers - if you have a query, chances are someone will answer it.

I think ls1 has a purpose, and you just need to find what it is you want from it. I myself will be posting less and less there (as i'm currently organising a cruise in a few weeks on there) and more and more on helpful, friendly and informative forums like Trackchat.

I'm just over the place, there is nothing at all going for the place anymore so i asked for my account to be deleted. Ive had Sponsors ringing each other to bag out a suspected compeditor or blaming a 3rd sponsor for something. The attacks on me both personally and professionally by wankers over there not to mention people ringing my suppliers to find out information about what im doing (because its nothing to do with them and i wouldnt tell them). More ppl are concerned with what im doing and who with than their own lives lately. Ive even had ppl ring my business partner to "advise" him i was broke and bankrupt. If thats how the LS1 forum members want to do things i want nothing to do with them. My requests to the forum owner to remove the attacks on me went unanswered so its as good as supporting them in my books.

I have no desire to contribute there any longer nor promote it as a place to learn about the cars and engines or as a friendly place to arrange cruises. Quite simply its 100% about sponsors, ego's and wankers who are jealous when others succeed in there goals.

I'm trying to orgonise a reccie run with Gary next weekend (sun 22nd), haven't caught him on msn last few days and i'm constantly working so it's been hard to catch up. I think the thread on ls1 needs a bump to get a few more along. I will be on msn tonight Pete after 5pm, if you speak with gary can you let him know and we can discuss this further:D

Glad to see someone finally stood up for themselves.

Its just a pissing contest now....

Thank god for this place...

I will be asking for my account to be removed also after the cruise. To be honest i'm also over it, allowing the instigators to stay on at ls1 and not giving a rats a$$ about what happened with Stu is just proof that regardless how helpful and well respected you are that the bottom line over there is profit and keeping the idiots happy. Hopefully you still come along on the cruise Stu, just pretend it has nothing to do with ls1 and just a bunch of guys and girls that love cars that are going for a sunday cruise.

Sorry mate but no cruise for me. The GTO is in the shop for a while.

Also please dont think you or anyone else needs to quit the forum in support of me or based on my experiences there. Its a personal thing and its something I chose to do for myself.

Yeh very true and not a bad thought smokie. Stu has provided me with a wealth of personal guidance and support across the past two years since my coming onto the LS1 scene (for which I am ever greatful).

I don't post on LS1 much anymore due to the politics as described above.

Stu, i have seen a glimpse of what you're talking about. A well known identity actually called a particular shop and threatended to "close them down". A few incidents like that. It's annoying. I can understand if you are sick of the scene. I guess there comes a time when it becomes too much.

Not that it is the first time such thing have transpired with the person/sponsor

That's just fucked. The engine doesn't have the gear in it that it was advertised to have, yet they are trying to hide behind the "we don't know what you did with it.." line...

Ill ask around. Most of the guys and gals there are into shorter runs than that proposed.

Having said that I have got a cruise lined up for BCCC dudes this coming Sunday - going on a "half circuit" to that of yours. We will be running through the twisties as far as Queen Mary Falls, then stopoff and have a B.B.Q, yarn and maybe a bit of sightseeing. Then return home the alternate way through Boonah.

As normal a lot of people are cross forum members (hence LS1 based too).

Paul, i was very involved with this (i lost $5500 remember) but look at it from the forums point of view as well. They had no actual proof of wrongdoing other than a few ppl complaining. In business you will ALWAYS upset someone regardles of how hard you try. Getting the facts was very hard as this person was hard to contact but had proven to know his stuff. Even some of his biggest supporters were backing him till the end (and got ripped). The Forum cannot get involved with taking sides and tried to stay out of it. The latest shitfight with the SA workshop is the same. Do you let ppl have their say and allow potencial lander to be published or delete it and hide it? There is no easy answer. The forum was dammed if they left it and dammed if they deleted it. This forum hasnt had that issue due to no sponsors but how could it have been handled better? Hindsight is always a great thing.

I have noticed the same recently. If you post in a sponsors area and it's not agreed with by their fans you get hunted around the forums by them (the sponsors fan club) which is exactly what happened to Stu and a few others on there. So this is just another reason why i will be withdrawing my account from there in the next few weeks. I'd rather ask a question and get an honest answer here than start a shit slinging match for the same question over there.

I remember something about you losing money Stu - i had no idea of the amount though...

You're right though - it's not an easy situation to sort out. I guess what i was getting at is the whole "sponsors" paying to be on the site takes away any balance that may have been there to start with ??

With the guy from SA, "Big Shaun" even made a comment how he knew the engine didn't have the Lunati gear that it was claimed to - i find it hard to believe the workshop selling it didn't know if Shaun did...

End of the day a bloke bought something in good faith from someone who was a "forum sponsor" and therefore (mistakenly perhaps ??) believed he was making a sound purchase. Unfortunately for him it doesn't seem to be the case...

Wasn t it detected after the thing was sold, that a cylinder 7 was down 60% compression? and the pistons were subsequently swapped / repaired or something. And i am not sure it was ever claimed it was a full Lunati assembly - just pistons only. Could be wrong though, it's just too hard to unravel that saga!

I actually believe that the seller was totally unaware of the reality of the engine's specs, and Big Shaun only knew because he saw the engine being built. I don't know that he associates with the Enhanced Auto guys to any degree, and may have just been sitting smugly on the info until now.
I only read the whole saga this morning, but it seems that it's now all sorted. The seller in S.A. - Enhanced Automotive, it seems didn't check what he bought S/H, used it , and then, in good faith, sold it on to Cody in QLD. His engine fitter decided to pull it apart before final installation since it was a bit down on comp on a couple of cylinders, and discovered a couple of burned ring-lands, no Lunati crank, no sleeved-block etc.
I'm sure that the seller was not aware of this, and after some consideration, has decided to refund the purchase in full, which of course was the correct course of action.

The interesting thing to me was that now that it is supposedly sorted for the buyer, what is the out-come for the seller?
As is always the case in these things, I'm sure plenty of mud will stick, even though I'm fairly sure that he sold in total ignorance of the problems/short-comings with the engine, and has now done the right thing and made a full refund. He obviously now has a case against the fellow he bought from, but due to the passing of time, plus being on-sold, I think he will end up copping the whole loss himself.
So, he bought sight-unseen in good faith, and sold on the same basis, but after copping several pages of abuse in the forum, will now accept all loss himself even though I genuinly don't think he was aware of any short-comings, and there is no doubt that many will still think he tried to pull a swifty. The fact that, as the thread sponsor, he has elected to leave it open and un-edited shows that he is fair-dinkum.
What's the lesson here? I think there is a serious and important one -
When sorting a business issue such as this, do it (a) swiftly. (b) in private. (c) be genuine (d) take the attitude of "What if the shoe was on the other foot" .
Anyway, I think he made the right call, allbeit, an expensive lesson for himself. :teach:

It should not have got to the public stage it ended up in, but it looks like Cody was communicating to him via Ph and email and wasn't getting the result, it took a slinging match on a forum to sort it out.

Had this been a private sale it may not have had such a happy ending.

If i buy something from the classifieds and am communicationg with the seller i take their word for what i am getting!

I would like to believe that forum members or sponsors would not rort fellow members, its way to much a small community as is it is a large community to let it fly under the radar and get away with it.

I think both parties have learned a huge lesson from this saga.

Yep ... I think its a classic.
Only that I don't know how to do a poll and i'd probably frig my attempt up i'd start one on LS1.com.au

The polls would need to be anonymous so you can vote freely without persecution

Poll 1 - Who is the best tuner?
- Delco
- Street Tuna
- Enhanced Automotives
- Sams
- Marrano's
- Castle Hill Exhausts
- Gentech
- GM Performance
- WA Performance
- BTA Motorsport
- CV Performance
- Russo
- Oztrack
- Tunehouse
- APS Service Centre
- G&D Performance
- Sureflo Exhausts
- Pro Auto
- Hi Torque
- Power Torque
- HPF
- Chevs
- Dicks TV Repairs and LS1 Tuning
- JezzaB
- Girch/SS346
- OLS108
- Macca 779
- Delft Calais
- vxleather
- Tre-Cool
- Other non listed


Now it wouldn't be done to find neccessarily numbers, because lets face it ... the vocals fans generally support a few workshops. I'd be interested in seeing whether any of the smaller guys/home tuners get a mention


Though comparing sponsors means it would be pulled in an instant.

maybe a poll that simply says:
Are you happy with your tune from a sponsor?
- Yes
- No
- Generally yes, but theres a few niggling problems that are annoying


or:
Who has tuned your car?
- Sponsor
- Non-sponsor


Dunno - But there are lots of interesting questions that could be posed ... though they'd breakdown into a sh!t fight in no time.

The whole tuner debarcle over there is so dumb. Here's why: why do most people join a forum? To talk to like minded people and offer/gain advice from those that have travelled down similar paths. Why does that mean it has to turn into a pissing contest with who has the biggest KNOB :nutbag:

Alot of people there just legitimately want to learn and 'cos of some peoples ego's it spoils the experience for people actually wanting advice.

I had a thread on here not long ago naming 2 tuners. Now i know Nick you took it down as it may have been taken the wrong way, and that was fine by me as i wanted advice as opposed to which tuner is 'better'. Ive never claimed a 'best' tuner. Ive tried 2 out and im DAMN happy with my current setup, and even happier with the level of expertise/service that ive received of late. Thats not to say my past experience was sour, it was far from it, its just i feel more comfortable with the current service. Neither is better in my opinion, but i was just felt at ease with one over the other.

As for LS1 carrying on... grow up as for most of us High School was done and dusted years ago, grow up and get along. We are all enthusiasts, act like it!

tuna is a great salesman ill give him that and he does help progress the ls industry along for us, but gee i have never heard someone toot there own horn as much as anyone in my life. The gus gould of everything other than rugby leage, everything he says is the truth and right because it comes out of his mouth or typed on keyboard. All others opinions are experience are worthless compared to the word of the auto god.
Whats funny is what he says will varywith what ever he thinks will be the most profitable outcome for him, im sure if tuna could rip enough people off selling them SS Inductions gear he would, where there's $ to be had the expert is there pushing it if he thought of it or bagging it if someone else did.

I draw my own opinions on him not only from ls1 but from the other sources of media he chooses to spread his biased bullshit with.

I can't say i've had that happen to me infact,i've had a problem with my throttle body for a while now and have been given the option to swap it over.I will take the offer up before i go away because it's starting to give me the shits at idle as it sometimes stalls and the fact that my wife may need to drive the car now and again when we're away.

But getting back to ls1....i can read through the shit that is posted over there and deal with it appropriately by ignoring it.I try not to get too involved and understand WHY certain things happen but it just really pisses me off when it gets personal and they rip into people over nothing half the time and it becomes a pissing competion.To those (and i'm not worried about sponsors) who cause most of the shit over there and have tried to get the better of 'WOMBIE' via PM and who i am sure frequent this site as a guest,please realise that it's just a matter of time as things have a way of evening out ;)

Hell i'm not immune and would like to think that if i over step the mark that someone will tell me to pull my head in.If in fact that happens i hope it's a mate that tells me because if ya mates can't tell ya then who can right!I still like ls1 as i read up quite a fair bit mainly in the technical threads....very very good source of info imho and i'm sure most here would agree.

There are those that drive the scene with education new ideas and perception, and those that follow the rest. Surely you dont want to see the whole LS1 thing die under the weight of a CraneCams US mailorder catalog. Might as well go back and buy a HQ....and where would be the fun in that :cool:

Sacrifice as the Passover to the LORD your God an animal from your flock or herd at the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for his Name.

Then Micaiah answered, "I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd, and the LORD said, 'These people have no master. Let each one go home in peace.'

A psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want

Yet for your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered

But he brought his people out like a flock; he led them like sheep through the desert

Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will praise you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise

Tell me about it. Thats one of the things that makes it so confusing. They all make such convincing arguements.

I guess at the end of the day, the results speak for themselves.

Guys can I ask the whining about ls1 to stop. It's now 6 pages long ffs.

Don't get me wrong I think it's great to have an alternate conduit to air issues and have a bt of a whinge. Especially where there is some significant thing to discuss/resolve/shed some light on - but really I think the issues are mostly just a side effect of any large forum (especially those sponsored).

It just seems to be an ls1 bitch-fest without any real purpose otherwise.

If you feel that strongly about it, maybe you should take it up with the ls1 owner.

edit: Dunc your too quick, this is a response to post 107

That's true Dunc, but unfortunately thats the way that people convey it...
It's a shame that we cant take results based opinions as someone will always try to discredit the workshop(s) involved.....
And im sure that there are a lot of "hacks" out there that wing it, its just we seem to hear more about their dodgeyness and less of the good reports by reuptable tuners.
When you do get a good tuner response, another team's fanboys usually try to :flame: them off :confused:

If you want it done properly IMO, do it yourself if it's possible. Generally we are always our own worst critic anyways.

People just love the glory (I think you guys call it an e-penis) and get all obsessed and involved with being "part of something", it is essentially cyberbullying (I cannot believe that term even exists it would be the most limp-wristed thing I have ever said, now that is truly sad) and people get their blinkers on and just jump on in. People by their very nature want/need to be part of a group, it's just that some groups are better than others, hey ;)

If you ever wonder about people's motives and agendas I will bet a nut that 99/100 that it is always selfish and centred on money, even religion seems to be based on coin it seems (now that is a big can of worms).

It is a shame that there isn't more generousity and people don't work together more often as the result is often better than that of slanderous competition. All (or pretty much all of it) politics be it automotive or whatever is based around money somehow.

Now how about some positive results, even better, how about some positive results without banging on about where they came from blah blah blah.

True.
Now i've never been to Russo's, but I've had another Tuner recommend Russo's as being "just a great bunch of guys with nothing against anyone. They just love doing what they do, and having fun at the same time"

As I said. I haven't ever been to their shop (must be the only one in Sydney I haven't had dealings with at some point), but yeah - someone in opposition to them, recommended them.

The ls1 demographic has changed a bit since i first joined, i guess thats to be expected as the cars get older though.

One of the issues with the forum based advertising in the performance industry is the groupie element and the mentality that if one shop is doing something well then everyone else isnt as good as them... they turn situations into a sandpit 'mines better than yours' or my 'dad will beat up your dad' childness. (Im not sure if 'childness' is a word but the thesaurus of bourbon tells me its all good)

The truth is the guys that own & operate these businesses have some relationship with many others in this industry, on & off forums and regularly speak on the phone, at the track and in daily life just like every other industry.

The little blue screen is about as far removed from real life as it gets.....but ive always been a sucker for some entertainment and a good yarn :driving:

Hate to say it but this discussion and what's happening over at ls1 has pretty much made my mind up what I'm going to do about my car options, which really is a damn shame. I love trackchat - always an entertaining read and also good because of the amount of track oriented content. But the ls1 world has truly begun to suck and I no longer want a part of it. I'm going back to the early girls - back to a relaxed and informative atmosphere where I can get really hands on with my car. I mean no slight to trackchat at all, but I will miss the potential opportunity of partaking of track action now as my early girl doesnt have a huge parts supply and I dont want to bend it on the track. My apologies if I have offended any ls1'ers on here, not my intent.

Maybe they need another "what to do if your ripped off by a forum sponsor" (KPM Exhaust) style thread in the Tar Pit, it really does seem that a sponsor is protected against bad feedback when members rally behind one another.

I still don't know why Cody has the engine and he is offering Brad an airline ticket to fly to him and inspect it.

There is more going on behind the scenes that is known on the forum. As has been said many times before on the forum you only get a glimpse of what is actually happening in the edited forum world. pm's and msn etc is where the real knowledge is at. I don't think it will be too long before we see a resolution to what is happening with Brad and Cody. :hide: :up2sum:

Ooooh the KPM thread still gives me headaches, i nearly copped a ban over that one also:(

Ive been banned more times then i can count.

But being away from the forum has its good sides and bad sides.

bad side is having Markone2 ( local forum hero ) accuse me of dobbing his car into QLD transport, and not being able to defend myself.
Lucky for me i have mates ( Zorak SS ) etc who stick up for me. But i guess the Illness is getting to him.

LS1.com.au LOL, good times.

So.. why dobbed M12 in i wonder?!

i assume you mean who ?

check out M12's posts on there. I have never had a problem with Mark in the past. in fact check most of my posts, Mark had helped me out a few times etc.. But his biggest problem is that unless you do it his way ie BIG CAM and tuned at Power torque then your an idiot who doesn't know that they are doing and your car is shit and slow. unless you post a time slip after every post then your an idiot... People will go on and on and congratulate Mark on his 1.4xx 60' footers and this and that.. But at the end of the day, what has he done ? brought a new car walked into Power Torque and handed over his credit card. IMO that doesn't give him the right to pay out on anyone in QLD who didn't get their car tuned at Power Torque.
So as i have said, i didn't have a problem with any of this cause i didn't really care, until Markone2 decided that his boring life of driving to power torque and drinking beer all day wasn't enough and he decided to start the bullshit rumor that i had fucked someones tune by putting an auto tune into a manual:lmao: best part of this markone2 illusion was the fact that it was a stroked Ute. this is where my beef with him started as I have Never tuned a Black Ute , nor have i tuned anything with more then 364ci as its not really a thing i am ready to tune. but as i said it didn't stop Markone2 making up his bullshit.. so doesn't really answer the question of who dobbed him in, But i don't know, but i would hope people who know me, know me well enough to know thats not my go. Put simply i don't care enough to bother to dob him in, the fact that he had NO DOUBT had me fingered for the job doesn't worry me ( obvious cause he banned me from V8 owners even though i hadnt posted in months not that anyone else does ), its the fact that the Big skirt didn't have the NUTS to say it too my face one on one on Saturday he shut his mouth and sat in his car yet he gets back on LS1 and wont post a thing about it. that is fucken gutless IMO.

So did i dob him ? NO
Do i care that someone dobbed him ? No couldn't give a shit,:soap:

So I've found that ls1.com.au is best viewed from a distance.

But to my amazement, I see prominent members being suspended; BigJim, Vulture, smokiebbear, etc.

That place truly has become LS1984.

I'm obviously not up to speed with Days of Our Lives (aka LS1.com.au) - Why did Vulture and BigJim get banned ?

I'd have thought both come across as decent blokes who add a lot of positives to LS1.com.au

Considering the place is fast running out of positives i'm surprised they were removed ?

I have seen a number of real threads turning to crap after a few keyboard hoons get involved.

As to the KPM Exhaust thread, I would suspect more than we will ever know. Perhaps things have changed from Car Enthusiasts to Business Enthusiasts. I truly hope for this bloke that his exhaust issue is resolved soon.
The bad engine that was sold and purchased. :puke: That was truly disgusting, that never should have happened. Saw it happen here just recently in a local shop with a mate (Paul) that is a master engine builder. His good mate bought a racing engine that was suppose to be really good. First thing, took the valve covers off. The rocker geometry was all wrong plus a shopping list of things, $3,000 later is was fixed. It's a good thing the engine had never been fired. Paul saved the day and the engine! :dance:

I'll still go, there are some top blokes on there. Simply put on the blinders and pass by the crap.
We can't control others, just ourselves with our actions & words. We also can control who we do business with. Crooks in business are everywhere, we can use that site to our advantage. Keep watching the crooks have a tendency to reveal themselves. :eyes:

Interesting Dave ...

I think anyone who's been paying attention has figured out who's being fingered by M12. Interesting to see the behind the scenes politics played out in public. Unfortunate but ... interesting.

From an outsiders point of view ... the emergence of opposing workshops/persons willing to perform work themselves in Qld has certainly had and interesting effect on the "status quo" in Qld to say the least. :hat:

I presume also that Ole mate DaDemon is implicated somehow as well? Having been to the NATS this year ... the guy did himself no favours with the T-Shirt he chose to wear as a "joke" and the ban he copped sorta explains itself.

I note you mention something called V8Owners ... what is this? :confused:

LS1 a democracy ... :lmao: ... never was and never will be.

The "truth" about what really goes on in LS1 land found in MSN, PM and mIRC ... :lol: Oh hell yes.

You'd have to honestly wonder why anyone would want to join these days ... when you consider how scripted things have become over there. I mean you may as well type in this web address these days ... www.ls1TONEBO.shit.boring :cool:

Is it just me that thinks that ... if I have to read one more friggen thread about a turbo install declaring that "this kit is the shit and so much better than a horses left nut when flung off a hot shovel" ... :headbang: they are going to go mad?

Has it not been done to death yet? :confused:

LS1 moto ... never let the truth get in the way of a good story. :moon:

You've gotta feel for the moderators though ... whilst everyone is prepared to bag them for what they do, you need to ask yourself the following ... Would I REALLY want to try and moderate/police a site that is like LS1 is and contains the sort of prominent people that it does? :confused:

I reckon the question would pretty much answer itself ... Not bloody likely. :cool:

Besides TC is much cooler ... at least here you MIGHT get a hat if you play your cards right. :lmao:

Unfortunately, once LS1 got a bit of publicity in the press over something - maybe VE release - (I really forget what) it had an influx of young kids who have basically stuffed it. There's very little meangful stuff there any more and most of the worthwhile technical contributors just don't go there any more.
As for the suggestion that M12 is blaming OLS for the dobbing incident - I've not seen that come from Mark's mouth/key-board, although some others who claim to be OLS's supporters have thrown Dave's name into the accusations by way of denial. Sadly, as you know - mud sticks.
I understand that Mark is obtaining the incident-report from Queensland Transport so will come out and name and shame the culprit once he has the hard proof, and anyone wrongly accused will obviously be cleared.
It's a real mongrel act by whoever dobbed on him.

Plenty of great people there, so many wankers with agendas and cross eyed loyalty to their favourite workshop to ruin the feel of the place...

Meh ... very little logic on here ATM, I thought Rob's thread was fine, who deems what topics are allowed to be discussed and which ones aren't ??? (I know, I know ... Mods)

Threads with pics bordering on porn are OK (have a look through the motivational poster thread) ... Uncle Tone's threads are OK ... hundreds of other random pointless threads are OK.



I suspect had the question been asked by anyone else it would still be there. Having said that I'm certain this post will be deleted as "off topic" ... so I'm not sure why I'm bothering.

heres the first post by rob

This is a public forum, I don't see why I can't post a thread trying to find the roots of all the hoon bullshit. I know the general topic is overplayed but I keep seeing other threads popping up that you're allowing through, that and my thread is discussing a completely different angle of the hoon tripe.

Why keep deleting it? It serves no purpose.

I can't see any reason to delete that and leave everything else other than a mod thinking "I don't like him".

ah that was his question, i missed that

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hoon

to travel at a high velocity, preferably in a car. was one answer here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoon
The term "Hoon" was first used in Australia at the turn of the 20th century where it referred to a man living off immoral earnings [1] (i.e. a pimp). The origin of its current usage is currently unknown but is widely believed to be a shortened form of "hooligan" [2]. In more recent times it has been used to describe any young male or female who drives in a manner which is anti-social towards the standards of modern day society. Generally, a hoon is any person who drives any vehicle dangerously and/or fast.

a slang word that is now legislation, great...

I can read between the lines and cut through the shit but what i will not tolerate or except are personal attacks on individuals.But hey Stewps is a big (largish from all accounts) boy as are we all and as such can make our own decisions as to what we say and/or do.I've been a member for i think 4 years and i distinctly made an effort in not saying much at all,if at all,in the first few months that i viewed the forum so as i could ascertain who was worthy of my imput and later trust and who was not.

I have not posted for i while in this thread because i did not want to be seen bringing negative thoughts from over the fence to this GREAT forum that is TC.As for you know where i've plodded forward and tried to contribute as best i can and forge bonds with those whom i trust and respect.To the lads that nominated me for validation i thanked you not because i thought at last i'm in the boys club but because you placed your trust in me and i earned the respect that goes with that.You would not believe how hard it has been for me up to that private day to be able to open up and interact with people outside of my comfort zone...but that's another story!

I truly believe that this thread should remain open for all discussion as that is what forums are all about.Even though shit happens on ls1,as i'm sure it does else where,i got to meet a member last night at wsid and that was a win for me,as i got to know a really great person and was able to support him on the night.

And that is what it's all about IMHO

Cheers,
Darren

Not sure why mate ... you're without a doubt one of the more genuine blokes I have met through forum life.

If the world had more people like you it would be a better place !!!

Cool ... then me and all me "goon" mates will just open up a can of cyberthugged whoopass on your ass for daring to speak out of line ... then we'll threaten you with attending a bookclub meeting for punishment.

:p

I think you've done a good thing in opening this thread Dazzler. Not because I have a desire to rubbish what goes on at LS1 but because it's interesting to read different individuals take on the whole debacle.

The key being not to take it all too seriously. Accept that some people get off on their "LS1 fame" :rolleyes: and giggle your arse off. :lmao:

Nick thanks mate that means alot and without pissing in any one's pocket,it's people like you,Dave and others that help pitch in organising events,that make days at wsid what it is...not to mention the running of this forum and such things like the up coming lunch that Troy has got happening.It makes it so much more pleasurable that even my better half enjoys reading here now and again.

And not only that the Possum enjoyed her day at the track with you guys as well...a bit of eye candy as she put it...don't know who she was referring to though :lol:

Yeah i suppose your right there Dave,it does interest me also what others here have to say about some of the drama that goes on over there,and i must admit that i do have a laugh at certain comments people throw up.There are some great characters in both forums.

Haha thanks Tom,your one of the funniest with that pic being your claim to fame over the fence.Even though i think Tone is a hardcore shit stirrer with a face like a smacked arse (no offence Tone) i meant what i said and still do.He's one of the more harmless one's,for lack of a better term,who just enjoys a bit of fishing.

They deleated one of my threads of the black SSV that belonged to a forum member saying it was advertising but left all my others up and the ones from simon and dream machines up. I dont mind if they want to take that stance but be consistant IMO

The best thing I've done is stay away from the place, and off forums in general. Its kept me out of dreaming up different ideas every 5 minutes ;)

I do get sick of every mod having to be a turbo, not very v8 for me, maybe I'm stuck in my ways to much...

LS1turbotone.com.au I'm sure will carry on as per usual.
