What a difference compared to other car forums

Recommended Posts

I read another thread in the members area whereby this forum was criticised and so, on the other side of the coin, here is my latest experience.

 

As most will know, I recently bought an MR2 and so joined up to two of main forums that deal with that marque. Today I posted up on both asking for advice on the best way forward to swap a turbo engine into an NA (that should cause a couple of smiles on here) and also to get the power up after the swap.

 

I posted them at around 12.15pm and so far have had 1 reply on both of the forums. Now, I am not knocking those places as obviously they are not as busy as this one (although quite why I am not sure as there must be a lot of MR2 owners out there) but you would have thought that you would get more than one reply in 6 hours.

 

Can you imagine that here? You would probably be on 4 pages by now! :D

I've had a lot of experiences with scoobynet, mr2oc, 2 x skyline forums, MLR and none even come Close to this. Skylineowners is pretty good but miles from here :cool:

I joined mr2oc and IMOC and was very surprised by the lack of activity.

Funny you say that CJ, the other day a colleague was asking about something technology related & I told him I would put it up on our forum & get the answer straight away. He was a little puzzled till I showed him a few threads, you get quicker replies than the MS forums!

 

That's what brilliant about this place, it's not 'just' a car forum:)

If I could have afforded it I would have my friend. Sadly, my budget was "very" limited and would not have bought me a set of good tyres, never mind a car :D

 

I know & to be honest the MR2 is a wise choice for that, not so sure about how lairy it is about to become though :D

Hey,... I dont mind crossing the line with swapping pictures and dirty phone calls,... but i'm not into anything incestuous.

 

;) I'm joking mate.

You can play dad if you want?

 

You better not be joking this time, you said I could play Dad last time :(

 

Don't play... With my feelings!

Well, we (as in me and my youngest son Josh who, by the way, was the main ideas fella behind the design of the old Orange car) have already bought an accident damaged turbo model and have pplans to either fix that up and sell the UK one on or (and this is more likely) swap the parts needed to turn the UK into a 300ish BHP car that looks something like this:
