Technically, I think the original post was OT. ;)

Yes it is technically off topic but this is about the only place I go. No time for 10,000 posts in the OT section so it just wound up here. I was however reading an on topic post when I saw some of the post numbers. So then as a techinical question how many posts does it take to get 340HP NA out of a 3.4 carrera engine. There now we all now back on the right path.

took me 7 years to hit 10K and i still got a lot of work done.

6 a day will get you there. OT might be 20% of mine.

Hardly anyone will remember my 914 race car. I started off as Zeke914 and spent a good deal of time on the 914 forum. But, the real fun was on the 911 forum, so I was posting here at the same time not even having a 911 (I did have one from '82-'96.) Then, I get the '71S and did a TON of panel replacement and bodywork. I documented it all here. That, and answering questions about similar work, must be another 20%.

Also, not posting elsewhere. I don't post on Rennlist. I rarely post on the Early S Reg. I have no posts on any of the regional BBS's like the South Bay thing. Or SCWDP and GruppeB.

I sit in front of a computer all day.... I'm the smartest most engaging and interesting guy in my office of one. How could I deprive the rest of the world?

Ouch...:D

Hey Milt, have you done anything else with the tail yet? Been out of town this week.

kach22i 12-11-2008 08:13 AM

Things that will make you a Post whore.

1. Purchase a 911 for $6,800 which needs a lot of work and get screwed by a shop and have to redo 75% of it.

2. Have no idea how to redo the work but with the help of guys like RoninLB, John Walker's Shop and Walter Mitty (and many, many others) start to work outside your comfort zone getting it sorted out and run crying to the forum often.

3. O.T. zone and the crazy times we live in.

4. O.T. zone and post a lot of random pictures.

5. AND TRY TO HELP AS MANY PEOPLE WHICH HAVE HELPED YOU.

Nope, too busys sitting here. ;)

Actually, yes. The styling clay stayed with the plaster and I had to figure out a way to heat the plaster mold to get the clay out. One thing I had to do was wait until the plaster cured and dried enough. Another was to find an oven big enough. I got 'er done.

Now on to laminating the first part which will become the basis of the plug.

Rack up another post. :)

That's funny, and true. I think I had several thousand posts BEFORE I found the OT forum.

Dutchie 12-13-2008 05:53 AM

what kind of 911 you own is a important factor too ! us superior 3.2 owners (with a wanker-g50 if your lucky) dont need much support here ;)
Those poor SCWDP guys spend thousends of posts just to find out cis is crap and replace it with a Carrera kinda system :D and offcourse the posts wasted making crappy valve guide jokes to us 3.2 owner while we were driving !


Cheers,

Ed

Hehe...I must hurry, I have alot of "catching up" to do. Maybe I could make some some comments about questionable companies then spend page after page defending my comments, while all the while building my post count so as not to be thought a troll.:D

I must credit Jim however....I wish I had thought of "snow tires"....I admit I did lift it once, but felt bad about it...maybe I'll change mine to "snow chains" instead.

Dutchie 12-13-2008 06:40 AM

As two time Carrera 3.2 owner you are forgiven RouxRoux ;) (the rest of the cars is nice too !)
In the old days Leland would be have choppers looking for me now ...

it would be an awesome feature to get a post analysis graph. Something like bar graph showing counts for:

1. thread starts in technical forum
2. response in technical forum
3. thread starts in OT
4 response in OT
5. response to "more random pictures"

And also an average word count per thread......

No Porsche at all here...just stuck around after getting shed of my old beater. Certainly not interested in any of the new P-cars.

rattlsnak 12-13-2008 08:53 AM

Take away political threads and with the exception of a few people, you take down just about everybody over 10,000 posts.
