There's no crime in resurrecting an old thread. I'm sure he found it by doing a search. Most new members search out threads of their interest. That's how I started here. Starting mindless new threads is one thing, but it's perfectly fine to comment on an old thread.

It should be a crime in scaring away new members by being pushy with them.
It won't hurt to try to be a bit friendlier w/newcomers.

hmm, ok let me read the rules.
please look at fourth faq

cut and pasted from af car modeling faq.

Is it okay to post in old threads? (Post #43)
The reason we use a thread format is so that posts about a similar topic are all in the same place. It is preferable to post anything about model X in the thread about model X, regardless of how old the thread is, so that when people go looking for information about model X, it will be easy to find. That's why we don't delete or lock old threads. If you have something to add to an old thread, then by all means, bring it back up.

by the last edit, this is nearly a 2 year rule, i have been here for a day, youve been here since Mar 2004, maybe YOU should take some time and look at the rules. and if it was a problem you could have easily PM'd me instead of messing up this thread. lastly my first sentence indicates that i did say sorry for bringing up an old thread where a sorry was not even needed. i was just trying to be corteous i guess, something you should consider trying. again YOU please READ. Thank YOU for the warm welcome btw.

and thanks zoomzoommx-5

sorry for me acting like a monkey and messing up this thread also.

I agree 100 percent!! That's part of the reason so many talented modellers leave and and the idiots we get stuck with stick around. It's okay though; I have a cure for that...

The only bad ressurecting is when its an absolutely pointless resurect.

Re: *Finished: RX-8 19"rims, PE parts, etc...8 pics*

This is getting off topic, but I agree. Bumping threads (i.e. ressurecting your own thread to gain interest) is wrong. Commenting on a thread because you missed it first time round is fine. If he wants to give props to WeaponX thats fine by me. This is a cool build and I'd forgotten it, so it was kinda nice to see it again.

whoa! almost didnt want to reply back in my own thread.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Im surprised people are still interested in this model. The RX-8 has been on Racing Hart C-R's as stated at the start of this post. Got the C-R's a week after this photoshoot was taken. IMO it looks even better now.

Sorry I havent been able to post anything new. I've been on a BIG modeling slump which I hope to end soon with an OTB build...well maybe some aftermarket rims wont hurt . Im also looking for a place to host my pics.

Again thanks everybody, these comments are motivating me to jump of this slump im in. I appreciate it AF!

Vric,ZoomZomMX-5, and SpoonMan Dos: went with your suggestion's and kept it clean. Thanks guys.

2f4u: i know your post is a little old (sorry about that) but the NOS bottle is from Detail Masters, I acquired them from my LHS 12.00 for 2. Turned aluminum bottles with PE accesories.

MikeUnited: Actually only took a month to build. a month of working day and night almost everyday though.

RotaryX82003: I have 2 7's in my stable of unbuilt models. one is the C-west 7 with rotary conversion from the Tamiya R1. (I managed to scrounge the motor off of my cousins old scrapped R1 model he built about 12 years ago.) Other one is the Greddy9. No plans for that yet. thanks for your interest.

again sorry for the late replies, wasnt paying attention.
