Sooo... I'm a lair avoiding questions now? Lol. I've already answered all your questions. You just didn't like the answers, because they don't agree with your extreme accusations of me off-ing "bad" parts(which are all sold now because of your rantings ). Besides, my "used" block is gonna have to be re-surfaced anyway. It was in an operational motor for a while, and has headgasket funk on it again(because there was another headgasket on it ). What are you really arguing bout? And what does an insane Nazi regime bent on white supremacy have anything to do with automotiveforums?

You've got a slacker working for you. His name is Alan, system administrator, and he spends all day moderating TeamSwift and others boards.

Hope you pay him well!

Re: performance upgrades for cheap

You seriously need to consider laying off the caffiene. You take this stuff way too seriously. And when did I say I snapped axles in half? That'd take over 400hp!(kind of extreme for a little engine) DMWdave ran stock axles in his 300hp swift.. And when did legal stuff come about? Yes, the cops are gonna lock me up for saying "wanna touch my light saber"...
As for scorning the honda fans.. The ones that don't get all raged over my comments are the ones who know the way the newbie kids act. Not all of them are immature idiots. But a lot of them act just like you are. Acting as they know the world, and everyone else is dumb, and should bow to you. Then they resort to swearing, insults, personal attacks, etc.. How can you talk about kids disrespecting everything, when you have respect for nobody?
I am a moderator on TS because I have donated a lot of time, knowledge, and proven I can handle a position to keep the boards in-line, and on-topic. I also offer useful information, write-ups, and experience that I can share with fellow metro/swifters. I answer my PM's, I don't insult, and I act like an adult. I goof around every once in a while, because it's always fun to have a little humor around. Keeps things interesting.

The guys on TS are laughing at you because you're acting like an enraged kid who just got a keyboard and the internet. From what I can see in google, you're an older gentlemen, who enjoys programming, and knows a good deal about cars. You even enjoy higher class vehicles like Jag's and BMW's. Which means you're educated, and have a pretty good taste in cars. How can such an educated person with so much experience with life, go bucknuts over a geo argument? It baffles me.

And I've said about my car's times... And I've said this many many times in the TS boards.. I never got a chance to get slips. Never had a chance to take it to Milan Dragway. My best results are a few steady runs on a G-tech(advertised in big letters in the for sale section too). So I wasn't hiding anything. If I left anything out, I didn't mean to. I'm really lost as to what you're so pissed off about. Take a pill man. Seriously. Car forum.. Forums are for discussions, not pointing fingers and calling other people names, and attacking them..

This thread is pointless. And you don't even realize how you sound. I'm gonna be the bigger person and walk away from this before you get banned, or in any legal trouble. I've already notified the admins and Yahoo about your "stalkerish" tendancies. And I have your email headers stored in my server. You're a smart person. You shouldn't take this any further than you already have.

It all my fault and I could have just overlooked the differences we had. I know you possess good knowledge and are helpful, I understand now that those pics are representative of the lower end being left after you sold it and not of rebuild time. Pictures are worth a thousand words and its easy to see how one could make assumptions from the pictures. Which brings me to remember my math teachers mantra- If you assume you then make an ass out of u and me.

I know I am unnder tremendous pressure to meet all the demands placed before me, and I picked you Geo as my outlet. I hope you can forgive me. I'm sorry.

Hours ago I wrote the admin to review my posts and told him that I would understand if I was to be banned, and perhaps that was my underlying hidden drive was to be banned. I know for a certainty that I have fallen to the same madness that eventually befalls hardcore posters.

I wanted to do you until I read this. Wuss.

Re: performance upgrades for cheap

So maybe now we will go back to discussing how to fix cars? Not really wanting to add my two cents, but honestly, think of how much time just got put into not helping ANYBODY. Nobody feels good about this whole thing. And one last thing. When was the last time that somebody ended up being wrong because somebody said they were, The truth is the truth, and arguing about it never changed it.

Now somebody show your level of maturity by quoting my post with a smiley face blowing my brains out at the bottom...

Re: performance upgrades for cheap

you know i never really thought that by me asking on little question that all this stuffwould happen. I guess that a butterfly flapping it wings a tsunami will happen halfway across the world.

on a serious not the gearbox on my metro just started messing up, itll go through the gears normally but upon going form 3 to 2 it wont happen, so i have to go to 1 and the gear grinds a little no o dont suck at driving with a clutch. what do you think it is

oh yeah jai really high props on the native proverb, im part native, and my great grand mother has a saying similar to say to that.

Have you tried double clutching? That may help while
you figure out what is going on. How long has it been
since a gear oil change? This is easy to do with a 3/8
drive ratchet, and the oil is cheep. I used to have to
weight over 5 minute for my gear oil to warm up in the
winters. I think someone wo owned the car before me
had used the wrong weight. It was a good forearm
workout!

Since this is a new question, you should start a new
thread, you'll get more views.

Re: performance upgrades for cheap

The honda shifters require a bit of custom work, but nothing you can't do with a dremel, and a few nuts, bolts, and washers. I have an integra one in my convertible. Makes the feel of the shifter MUCH more accurate. Those 20hp chips are pretty much a resistor you replace your air temp sensor with. It creates a rich condition which may give you 1-2hp, but kill your gas mileage and will fill your engine with soot and carbon. Your stock 3cyl intake pipe is a cold air intake. Notice it goes into your fender, where the air box resides. The stock 3cyl has such a small throttle body, that putting in a "performance" intake won't make any difference at all, and you'll end up sucking in hot air from the engine compartment. Maybe a K&N filter for a small gain. But it will be a small one.
