A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered.
This is going to get good!

I know you think this is funny Reggie and by all means your entitled to it.But the things you're saying to us are sacrilegious in our group .It's apparent to me you want one of us to break a spoiler or even worst blow a motor or radiator at 150 plus mph ..For what just so you can prove your point .Putting these car together is hard work and labor intensive .And not to speak of expensive as well even for the do it yourselfers. I know we unnecessarily push cars to their limits .I guess what I'm trying to say is we don't need a cheer leader on the sidelines cheering
(You will break you will blow yes you will that I know..YAH breakage)
So please man stop with this blasphemy. and just wish us well ..Again Reggie I know it's all fun and games but god for forbid if anything were to happen to anyone of us it wouldn't be funny anymore..
I got nothing but respect for you and your car .I ask the same in return..

At this point in time (LOL).Since there was nothing wrong with my motor I stayed with the 1JZ
The motor has only 2500 miles since I put it together so why fix or replace something when it's not broken right?The only problem was that sh@ty machine shop I took it the first time didn't do there job right
but other than that its all good.

Okay, I'll go with it.
No way I'd want anyone to get hurt and you know my crazy talk has nothing to do with this.
I joke like this for several reasons.
1. I don't stop anyone from doing their thing. I enjoy difference and preference. It makes the world go round. But when people criticize me for not wanting to boost a car that isn't engineered for it and always try to talk me into liking what they like, I get crazy with it. Especially when they keep breaking that un-engineered car proving my point. I love talking about your cars and seeing them but I get tired of peeps always saying, you should do this, you should get that....screw that. If I ever do boost it will be correct. Complete engine breakdown and re-engineering to support that new work. This is the culmination of years of people trying to tell me what to like.
Again, I do enjoy hearing about this stuff but don't act like you're doing a smart thing cause it ain't smart to spend big bucks on shortcuts....not imo. But do your thing man. I won't ever criticize you guys again cause no one will ever tell me I should get boost ever again. Deal! It's a passion. Passions go beyond rational thought. I understand that but be real about it. It's not smart. It's fun. But know this, I prefer NA power over boost. I ain't racing.
2. This got to this level because of a disagreement with Ed and a few others. We were at Towers and several people were on me. All saying I don't know what I'm talking about. There were a few people that knew my point was right but they stayed quiet and didn't support me. They told me later that they agreed with me but they didn't speak up. So it was me against the Boost gang. I enjoy a good fight. I can fight several people at once. I usually win too. I was just in mid run. I was not going to stop until someone submitted. Well, you have asked for an end of the debate and I will oblige. Hopefully, no one else will rekindle this debate. I never start a fight or debate but I'm known for ending them.
You know what, my other reasons don't matter and I won't write a book about it. The bottom line, I respect people and their choices. I never once criticized you guys until I got tired of being criticized for not wanting it and people continually trying to talk me into liking it. I wouldn't do that. To me, that is disrespectful. When people disrespect me, I retalliate.
I want to hear about your cars and engines and how you handled business when someone challenges you. That stuff is cool. I am still an enthusiast. It's the crap about what I should like that gets me. That's what high school kids do, not adults. I'm good!

Wow, you went deep and played the sympathy card on me.

Please understand that your demeanor towards the boosted guys is judgmental, falling into the same category that makes you feel disrespected.
With all due respect, It's our hobby and we pay to play and we keep paying to play and that is duly noted. The last thing we desire is someone to be a "Debbie-downer" and blow up our car because that is not what it's engineered to do.
