Re:Honda -Tech flamers
I make a point to only read on honda-tech. If I really have to I PM someone who knows there ----. Mista bone is pretty cool about answering tranny questions. A lot of bullshit drama gets played out on there. If you aren't a noob it's ok I guess. I get sick of hearing about how great people's Greddy kits are. Not that they aren't good but I HMT can be so much better.

Re:Honda -Tech flamers
There are a lot of douche bags on honda-tech but there are cool people as well. Personally i think its the admins faults for not making enough stickies. If they just setup an articles section where they can show how to install DSM injectors...and do a run down on BOVs and WG's and such...it would have a lot less stupid questions and a lot more tech questions. so all in all it comes down to the people who run the site suck ***. There are a lot of ------- genius people on that site that answer questions really well but they get lost in the search engine...just ------- setup a section like they did on this site....then ppl can click on the tech ---- read artcles and ask questions after...i mean most commonly asked questions are "are ss autocrome mani's good?" "what kind of setup should i use on my car?" and "should i buy a kit or do a homemade job"....if they just setup templates...like if you have a B18b1 this is a setup: and list what someone did and how much they spent...it would be more than helpful....im done with my rant...sorry

Re:Honda -Tech flamers
I have several issues with H-T:
1.) The search function is ------- retarded/halfassed. They get pissed at re-posts and repitive answers/questions, yet Dustin keeps the content search feature disabled. Whats more the title search is broken too and finds a lot of erronious(sp) results.
2.) Just about every mod or admins is a sponsor/selling a service.
3.) My BIGGEST beef (working on the pgmfi project a lot this really burns my ***), anything ECU related thats free.. the poster is usually banned/nuked at the request of Hondata staff or some other juiced in ******. Thats total horse ----.
4.) Being smart/finding new ways to make power is shunned. I remember 3-4 years ago the beginning of the ls/b20 vtec's and how many people were trash talking them... now look at the scene.

The site on the whole has a lot of good archived info, but you REALLY gotta dig for it sometimes.

Re:Honda -Tech flamers
I like HT,I've learned a lot from it, but I can only take so much. And I don't appreciate them condescending on those who like to DIY.
Sure it's great if you have tons of money to go buy all sorts of parts and pay a shop to install them for you (not saying that everyone on HT does that) but you get a sort of satisfaction from doing things for yourself. I like to work with my hands a lot (I'm sure I just set myself up for a joke), and even if I had a million dollars, I would still do most stuff myself!
Besides, paying your own tuition doesn't leave that much left over for cars, you've gotta DIY!!
Oh and I like JDM stuff as much as everyone else, but every damn car on HT looks the same!!

If you ever need help from a admin on HT, let me know. I happen to be fairly well aquinted with one. He just last week banned a guy for me and his ipblock too who sold me a bad 14b and told me to get stuffed (guy with a lot of posts/vouches too!)
