Is it me, or do people NEED TO READ ABOUT TURBOS BEFORE THEY ASK STUPID QUESTIONS... And secondly, what's with all these people getting on and saying yada yada, when in reality we all know (well all of us in the know) that it's going to turn your engine into a paperweight (Oh, that's a big one... heh). Guy's... please... for the love of everything holy, read everything you can before you post... and leave the turbo answers to the people that actually know...

Sorry for the rant, I just got through reading about 5 threads that either made no sense, had answers that made no sense, or were made from someone that didn't take the time to READ

If it makes you feel better Ive been researching and reading about this stuff for about 1.5 years. I still ask stupid questions. Its the only way to really apply what you've learned, but I understand its frustrating to read the same question over and over. Especially when it gets answered everyday.
What size turbo?
Which turbo....?
Where do babies come from?
Where do all the good girls go,what club do they hang out at?

Just know that all the newbies appreciate it and you were new at this at some point.

Have a brew and take a load off.

These two seem to go hand and hand and I still can't figure them out... LOL. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way though, I was like, well this is either going to get me banned or get me some thumbs ups. Well, I didn't single anyone out or anything, it's just seems to me as a whole each day I get on here I see someone else asking a question that was answered in the thread right below. Once again guys sorry to rant but damn, it seems like everywhere I look they're asking why the hell a bb t25 is better or some ****.... LOL. Oh well...

It means there are a lot of people with low IQs starting to post here....Folks who don't know how to use the search button rather than asking the same question 10 times.

I've seen so many repeated questions about swaps and turbo sizes in the last week or two its not funny....Where did all of these people come from!?

^^This is kinda what I'm talking about also. Uninformative posts... And to the person that said I was new at one point, yes your right, and during that time period I ghosted this site and many others and did my research. I read and watched what other people talked about and learned on my own, and when I joined this site offically I had an idea of where I wanted to go, what I could and could not do and what options were available to me. I fear that the people are starting to trickle away from the likes of myself, Opto, Havok, Dezod, and all the other heavy hitters out on the boards who have held their own against the odds of owning a 7th gen and have supplied us with much great information, products, and everything we were afraid to try. I just feel that people need to read read read, because I'll venture to say that 99% of the questions asked on this thread are answered somewhere, you just need to read... Am I wrong? Because I sure as hell don't think so. Oh yeah and don't tell me to be happy or something because I am, I got meh new skateboard today, heh.

I'm talking in generalities... just as Opto said, it seems to be mass amounts of people that are causing this. I am not targeting anyone in specific.

It best not to get too worked up about it. It won't help. Though we do understand the righteous indignation.
The thing is when your new and you try to ask a question(even after you've searched thuroughly) and some douche bag gets all up in your grits, It kinda discourages you from asking. Thats the total oppisite of what were here for. We're supposed to help each other and learn. Besides patience is a virtue.

I have no problem with that. But - when threads like this:

http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=184551

show up - I start to wonder.

Than I see this:

http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=184375

Where he asks the philosophical age old question that countless others have asked. Many times before.

As this guy has:

http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=183064

or this guy as well

http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=183485

All within the last week....most of it seems like whining to me. Same question regurtitated over and over - swap or turbo?

Oh....don't get me started on the B series swap threads!

I am not getting worked up, merely stating the obvious, looks like Opto beat me to it above. Read my children, read and search and the answers shall come to you w/o having to dawn your flame retardent suits

Welp, I've said what I wanted to say, and we don't need to discuss any further because nothing will come from it (I can forsee the future... =) ) So Hav or someone, can ya lock it up, but don't delete it, I think it should stay here for a little for all to see.

I think it's because some people need other people to decide what to do with their money or their parents money. so if something screws up their engine they'll be relieved to know that it wasn't their choice it was insert name here .
