Problem is there is a fine line between informing and what some people would perceive as "bragging" ..its the "bragging" which i would dislike and i am guessing a lot of other peeps would dislike too, this comes into play even more so on forums, when u don't know the person who is talking/typing
wee example .. As many of u are aware i own a wrx300 which came with the ppp package, Stephen also owns a wrx with no ppp package, the only mods he has done as far as i am aware is the removal of two cats. Out of interest we raced each other at Crail on 4 occasions, the first attempt i just got the nod, the other three runs he took, basically the cars where very closely matched. At the end of the day we had a wee chat and shook hands. My point is, there was no follow up post to that, he could have easily started a thread follow that along the lines of "i smocked Craig at Crail" and basically ripped the ppp package to shreds....For that Stephen much respect ! not that it would have really bothered me, (althou of course he was not to know that) it was just something we had going on between the two of us and the fact that you kept it that way ...
My point is,(sorry for using u as an example Stephen) had he gone on and on about it, then i feel that could have rightly been perceived as "bragging"
Over the last month or so, i believe it has just got too "internal" we are going up against each other and to a point slagging each other off and also slagging the garage/person who has carried out the mods. We need to get "external" again and all pull together, work as one, share not only the good modifications but also the not so good,(may save another member the hardship and expense) lets worry about smocking them evo's ! and all those hot-hatches !
Personally i do like to hear what peeps have done to there cars and what sort of difference it has made, cosmetic mods too, "not just bhp increases"!!...indeed it gives me ideas, so hopefully to a point, long may it live...i have spent a small fortune on engine mods over the last couple of months and still buying, would hate to think that when its all complete i will not be able to share my joy with you..???
My post is aimed at nobody in particular, just a general observation ..
