Hello.

I thought I had registered here years ago, but apparently I didn't, so I just did. Then I tried to reply to a post in the motorsports forum, but was rejected due to a post count of 0. So, here I am racking up posts. I'm a 240SX owner with a fondness for track days but not much time for them. An FD3S has always been a car I wanted but purchase price and maintenance made it unrealistic. The 240SX has been a good, cheap way to get into a fun RWD car, and I'll probably keep it for a long time, but maybe I can get into an FD as a street car in a few years. That's pretty backwards, running the 4 seat/McP & multilink/"sporty" car as the track car, and the 2 seat/dbl wishbone/awesome car as the street car, but I'm far enough into it now that I might as well keep it, and resale is crap on modified cars anyways. Plus, I'd hate to mar an FD going off on track, and cheaper is always better when there's a decent risk of wadding it up.

 

I am in total agreement about the three post rule. I feel like I don't really have anything substantial to contribute to the site so I never want to post. But then whenever I do I have to go through this 3 post thing. Any way, I'm totally with you as far as keeping the 240 on the track and making the rx7 your dd. 3rd gens are too pretty and costly to mess up on the track (unless bigger budget of course).
Any who, good luck with the 3 post thing.

 

I cannot agree more with your sentiments.

I am from Austalia and all I ever want answered are technical questions or advice and I hit the wall when I attempt to ask a question because I not allowed too because I'm in the wrong section.

Usually at that time I give up and find the solution elsewhere.

The last time I attempted to post it was removed by an administrator, not becuase the post was technically incorrect but because it seems you are not allowed to ask questions about suppliers in the newbie section.

I to have little to contribute but I guess to get past the rules you post dribble until you get up to the required level.

Regards

 

Same thing here with the three post rule. I'm buying an 84 rx-7 and have way more questions than answers. But I guess it's just something i'll get over.

 

I agree about the posting rule but it is a way to reduce BS initially.

 

The 3 post thing is making this hard for me i have some questions i could use some help with and cant even get them out their. I understad why but it makes things hard that is for sure

 

Hey, Atleast you guys can post, I've tried to post 2 introductory threads about 15 minutes apart sinc e the first didn't show, wellll, now none are up and I have lots of questions, and can't even make a thread to get the answers

 

u wont see ur post right away, it has to be approved first.

 

How long does it take to approve? its been 2 days.....

 

I'm also new trying to reach 3 posts so I can contact a vendor in the for sale section. Theres a rear end not far from me that could save my bacon.

Cheers
Mark

 

Same here, but as in all forums like these...just because someone has posted a lot, doesn't mean they have anything valid to say.

 

It is not too late now. We are almost there anyways. =D

 

Shall I call the Wham-bulance for all you whiners? :-)

Perhaps if new members would spend more time reading the information that we have taken the time to prepare then you would be on your way to post bliss!

 

I've also posted on here several times.

I was one of the first to install the rack and pinon kit from the Canadian company the went out of business .( Forgot their name ), and posted an indepth write up and review of the product.

I still own my 85-SE that I bought new in 85 .

 

im still working on my 3 lol
having a hard time with the wiring on my FD and cant get help from anyone till i got 3 posts

 

Depends how busy we are.

 

Baffles me too.

 

Lol im the FNG here. im the owner of an 88 rx7 vert wiht an engine dilema. i either repair/overhaul the 13b na or go with a v6 or v8 trnasplant. idk both will eb abotu the same cost. actually teh v6/8 will eba bit less.sicne ive got most of tehparts now except for the kit from grannys speed shop. anyhoo glad i foudn this place. ive not a beef with teh 3 psot rule, although it can be aggrivating, its there for a reason. ive seen ruls like this elsewhere. with not really a negative effect

 

Seems to be a 10 post count to view images as well.

 

i totally agree. you can't post with out 3 post but you need 3 posts to post anything. it's a catch 22 lol

 

i just have gotten to the point that i lurk because of the post count rules. first time i have seen it.

 

I think its rediculous that you guys are complaining there is already so much info on this board... Instead of complaining about it take the time to search and read through threads and you can probably find an answer to your questions already here.... The fact of the matter is you guys are lazy and dont want to invest the time in searching.

Please do not spam the forum. This isn't a thread to learn how to count. You know who you are.

 

Wow. Why not just live and let live bro? We just want to post on the forum!

 

well i like the post count rules because i am a member of corvette forum and they dont have a post count but this will keep the bashing to a minimum and peopel that dont have nothing to do from borbarding wath you have to say so it means that you have the moderators doing their jobs. so like it or not it will keep the forum for wath is mento to be a tool and not a bashing party.
