I hardly recognize any of the posters in the 911 tech section any more. Anyway my enthusiasm for wrenching kind of staled after my third valve adjustment. Nowadays I keep to the yearly oil change and leave the rest to my mechanic.

Since I've put a "Cool Collar" on my filter, I don't think my oil temps get high enough to warrant any oil changes. No muss, no fuss. I'm all about efficiency.

The big debate over there is about shocks... and most will tell you if you are not willing to drop at least $2K on shock don't even bother.
I started out at tech like most people. Since I don't own a Miata anymore, I quit going to their tech section. The Watercooler guys are pretty cool like the bunch here. there are a few wippersnappers there as well.

I kind of like how us here on the Off Topic forum know a tiny bit about everything. Guns for instance I find the gun guys a bit tiring, sort of like "Oh no, you bought the two screw version, not the three screw version, you should have talked to me first." More like I'd say F off. I also like the way we have an earnest discussion about the same topic every three months. More like bring your porsche your coffee, your chainsaw and we'll talk about dogs together.

I still post every now and then on the tech section. It gets frustrating when you see a thread that has so many posts with really bad advice. There is one there now where the guy is using a quart of oil every 300 miles and most of the posters tell him not to worry about it.

I still pop over there and post some but not a ton.

I enjoy it a LOT more now that Wwest is banned. He was a pain.
