Shanghai-ed or Kidnapped Posts
 

Hi Guys and Gals,

I've been reading a lot of posts lately in which the original question has gotten Shanghaied or Kidnapped, and people are no loger talking about the original question.

Does this disturb anyone other than me?

Might not we stay on the subject? And if anyone has a different question, start a new thread. It's so easy to do.

Anyone agree?

It's called a thread hi-jack. Yeah it happens sometimes. When it's mine and I need to get back on track I just start a new thread. On the other hand you can learn a lot when the thread diverges from its intended course.

While we're at it, what are your thoughts about using fiberglass doors on the street?

Think about a conversation around a table at happy hour. It's the same thing. Part of being a human is that we all want to swing the talk back around to ourselves.

It's all about me, man.......

Its annoying...yet somehow entertaining...I am torn.

Bosch or MSD?

So Dino or Synthetic?

I am not sure about fiberglass, but what about simply not having side windows on the street, here in CA it should not present a problem...

Did someone say Happy Hour?

I would never use fiberglass doors without a full NASCAR style cage.

Come to think of it, I would never drive my race car on the street. No place to put my beer.

I predict this will be the fastest growing thread of the day.

Did someone say beer?

most of the 996 style race cars have carbon fiber doors and only Xs in the doors, in the last ALMS race the Olive Garden car drove into the #23 and ripped the door off, clearly it was a glancing blow but still there was only an X in the door, or should I say what was a door.

It's terrible when that happens. Who do you like in the World Series?

All of you are bad, bad people!:D

Come on guys, lets get back to the original topic of all threads.Which model 911 is the best?

Beer?

Beer!

What was the last "real" 911? '73, '89' 97??

Does anyone know the wing-ed speed of a laiden swallow?

Andras, you had to know this was going to happen? If not, well you haven't been here that long, you'll learn. :D

i love cookies and milk just before bed. the stock market has had a tough week. my mutual funds are a pisser right now.

what was the topic here again?

I still say Mobil 1 is the way to go in the 915 gearbox during winter months.


Now where's that Happy Hour?

You guys are completely predictable.

if you send us $50 bucks we will blow you off.

Oh, sorry...wrong place.

Have you heard about that new organization, D.A.M.?

*Mothers against dislexia*. :cool:

It is really uncool for you guys to take this thread in a different direction than it was intended! We are here to talk about fiberglass doors!

Now, GT-racing makes an aluminum door hinge that goes in the doors. Their position is, not only is it lighter, but it saves you having to trash a 911 door for an old steel hinge. That's good thinking.

All we need now is a titanium cupholder, so you can mount a beer in the door! The 911R had such a holder-- you don't think they drove for 10,000 miles at 130.67 mph in the rain at Monza without a little liquid refreshment, do you?

Being one of the chief culprits of sideway threads, I think it can be interesting, espiecally when five pages later it get's moved to off topic. :D I think there are better things to concern myself with, like which wrench is going to work best to get the bottom 19mm nut on my rear caliper tight. It was a PITA to get out & I'm not looking forward to putting it back in. I'm thinking that a double box end offset might work. Guess I'll have to stop buy Sears.

to remain off topic and correct spelling ( and anyone who has attempted to read my post can attest to my lack of spelling prowess).

paul you would stop BY sears to BUY some new wrenches.

The moderators must all be sleeping right now!

African or European?

Did you guys see Friends last night? :D

Souk you just want that Duck so people will quit calling you "girly man.":D

im a survivor guy. darrah gives me a tremendous vibration. shes all southern bell and that makes me turgid

I had this problem with my rear 930 calipers.
I modified a 19mm offset box wrench for this application. I cut the handle off to make it shorter and ground away material on the inside of the curved part.

P.S. Sorry about hijacking your door thread there Thom. :D

And a pair of them weighs like 11 pounds! that's great. They even have a molded in depression for a door handle, although I can't see why you would want that, it's not like you're going to mount a lightweight plastic door handle on that.

What would you rather bee or a wasp?

Yeah but where do I mount my cell phone?

And you would think they would have a place to put my trash from "dashboard dinning". :rolleyes:

What I can't decided is if the car looks funny without the window trim and little side window, the fiberglass doors don't seem to be consitant on including the side window and trim or leaving it off completely.

When I am not thinking about it, I don't notice the difference, but when I am thinking about it not having the window looks werd...


Jim

What dog would hijack a thread anyway?
