I had an incident with a particular moderator that was upset at me for even creating a topic to duplicate his sub-woofer box even if I offered to pay for it.

Somehow it led to my 5th banning.

I just keep coming back from the dead like a bad horror movie.

Oh well.........

P.S. - This might get edited out ;)

Are you just stupid or stupid AND ignorant?

I'm in the process of eliminating everything else before I dig into the bushings.

Removing bushings ain't like an oil change.

1. remove the upper control arm from the spindle, this is an ordeal as the damn thing don't come off that easily.

2. remove ABS lines,

3. remove the lower control arm from the spindle, see ordeal above,

4. Support the spindle and brake caliper somehow

5. remove the lower control arm but marking it so that your alignment is shot.

It takes me 2 hours to do this per side. That's 4 hours or 1/3 of my day.


If the bushings are the last of the culprits then guess what? I have to install OEM bushings. That's 2-4 hours trying to figure out how to take the damn bushings in the reverse manner so you don't break the lip.

Now that's 1/2 of my work day at the very least. And unlike some of you, my RX7 isn't my life.

I stopped reading any posts by poman a long time ago regardless of content, invariably it always turns into him pissing and moaning about something that was, of course, always someone else's fault. I think the entire community would honestly be best served by simply banning or shunning him to the point that he could no longer delude himself into beleiving people actually appreciate his obnoxious blame sessions or are in any manner impressed by it. I could go on but do I really need to?

For someone that gets angry I find that believable.

That was my point. You've spent at least this much time on this thread; don't you think your time would have been better served if you kept your big pie hole shut and put that energy into working on your car?

Good, you do that! Then there will be no more clunking and we'll all get some relief from your relentless diatribe.

Then take your car to a mechanic, or better yet, sell your RX-7 and buy a different car and be a pain in the ass on some other forum.

I don't know. Poman has had some good informative threads. I particularly liked the ones about the spring rates on his GC coil over kit and the info on the hood recently.

Yes he does often argue, but he is often arguing logically. No more cranky that some of the other posts I've read from other members from what I remember. But then again I usually ignore the stupid posts and take what I can from the good ones.

BATMAN 08-17-04 11:44 PM

Well, he is a patent attorney and attornies are supposed to have higher male hormones in them.

So maybe he's naturally short tempered.

He needs to win a big case and be made a partner at some big firm like Fish and Neeve so that he can off his FD and get that red 360.

You just don't like my critique of your POS exhaust from 4 years ago on the big list.


Banning me. What a concept. Like being exiled. Hilarious.

Admit it. Without people like me to rile up the forum, this place is almost as dull as Nopistons.

I do miss those days with the diatribe b/w PFS and Monsen and Rickii. Those were the times.

It seems no one is following Lord DamonB's order to stay on thread.

can I chime in here?............................................. ..........................................ok I'm done, you see this thread is useless now. It's just turned into one of those useless west forum threads! :p:

DamonB 08-18-04 07:03 AM

This is over. If anyone has anything to add to the subject of problems with jimlab's bushings please start a new thread. Thanks.
