Hey All!

I was doing some looking around the good 'ol internet and I found this site, I think F&F has really screwed a lot of people, and this doesn't really help. Take a read, what do you think??

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/tuner.htm

I think that we should offer to re-write it for them, we can just delegate people to certain sections and submit it to them, what do you think?

Cheers

Ignorant people for the win?

Someone really should point out how wrong they are.

"Web sites devoted to tuners spend as much time interviewing models as they do talking about turbochargers."

i think were missing model interviews..... i feel cheated...

i think they are talking about the "tuner" cough ricer web sites/magazines like import tuner etc. sport compact car is better but they get some rice too.

Shit. I guess I gotta go buy a 18" high wing, add some graphics, throw on some 19's, add a $10k sound system if I want to be a real tuner

Seriously though, who writes that garbage? I used to respect that website because of the information they provided to me when I just got into my car. That's quite disappointing.

yeah no shit I agree

Holly shit! Is this a Joke? I used the same website to write a report on forced induction. I cant belive that shit.

Ha! Ha! thats funny..."tuners need what? how many speekers?" You know...and i thought that sight was a good place to learn about stuff... What Losers! LOL

they do good at describing tech stuff but soem of their articles (like this one) are just idiotic

joemathews · #11 04-21-2005, 03:00 AM

I don't know about you guys, but I think that article is right on. Those are all characteristics of a "tuner". I don't consider myself a tuner, nor do I consider most DSMers "tuners". We don't just tune the car, we build the car how we want it, then tune it so it won't blow up

Backyard-mechanic, yes, jackstand-jockey-weekend-warrior, yes. Tuner, no

They can take the term "tuner" and massacre it as much as they want; as far as I'm concerned, a "tuner" must have at least one vinyl decal and one rear wing to be classified as such
