Weissach Bushings

[Crumpler]

I have been following this thread on the other channel. I know many of us bounce back and forth.
Man, I do not get the negativity over there.
I'm not married to Carl Fausett, but he knows what he's doing and he always picks up the phone if I need help. My car is simply better because of his aftermarket kits.

I guess my point would be I'm a Pelican guy because it's not as chippy over here. And thank you everyone for your help and comradeship.

Carl takes way too much abuse. If he posts a new product you can count on seering comments by several of the faithful.

Agree Dave, long knives.

...and you "never" will.

I'm glad the 928 community has Carl, but sometimes you need to get a second opinion on his new products. This bushing sounds totally fubar to me, not something anybody needs.

Aren't a lot of "hop ups" for cars these days?

I didn't see anything mean spirited over there. Appears to be all constructive criticism with some interesting discussion and illustrations on how the rear suspension works.

Look again.

Agreed...looks like a really well-mannered discussion to me. I assume we're all reading the same thread:

Polyurethane Weissach Bushings available - Rennlist Discussion Forums

[Crumpler]

I agree that a lot of the posts on that thread were constructive. But some seemed more critical then others. And that is what I would point to as a contrast between the atmosphere of the two forums. Maybe Carl wasn't the best example to use because of the undercurrents involved.

But if I rolled out a new product and someone told me "...it has nothing to do with the function of the axle." With a banging head icon attached...

Or if I read "...what gave you the idea that this is something we need?"

In my mind that qualifies as chippy.
I could be reading too much into statements like that, but probably not.

I know we're not 13 year old girls, so it's really not a big deal -- the points raised were valid. I just appreciate I can get tactful advice, even when I'm wrong, over here.

The thread is as friendly as it is because many were laughing too hard to type.

rennlist has many local to me (Killadelphia area) members. So i've put the time in for that reason. Some of the old-timers were a bit testy at the beginning of the thread imo but they may have their reasons as Danglerb suggests.
