no no, you are misunderstanding what i was saying. pretty much all of my questions on this site so far were engine technical questions that pretty much no one on here gave a ____ about, but i did happen to post a thread about an exhaust and got like 3000 views... all people care about is small things, not alot of engine techies on here. if you feel you need to discuss this matter in depth, please pm me.

and what was that supposed to mean about """""stop working again""""

you have to head to the right area of hte forums, there are plenty of people that know what they are talking about.

i meant no offense when i was responding, until you said that all we think about is exhaust and intake. BUT still i hope you don't hold a grudge perhaps it was just a bunch of miscommunication;
though you should really read the F/I forums if you want knowledge.

i just feel like most of the threads on here on stupid.
the topics are always beat to death, the responses are boring and repetitive, and theres not that many tC owners that really try to push the envelope.

aen, my comments arent directed towards you.

what yellowhoodie just said is how i feel to a T.

im sure there are a few people on here that know what theyre doing, and try something thought of as pretty crazy. but not many.

i dont hold grudges.

i was being kind of an ___ in the beginning.

then we're cool? =)

im going to be pushing he envelope preeeeeeeetty damn far really soon, stay tuned =)

what you have to understand is many people are scared to modify these cars they are still very unknown territory.

and also these cars are still relitively new, people are scared to break them, sti's for instance evos. they have been tested time and time again and been proven that they have the ability to do things, our community hasn't had that chance yet, we're getting there! people are getting brave, people are just now starting to try new things

i for one waited for a REAL standalone before i started to build my motor, now that we have one; it's going to be a motor built purely by a normal everyday guy in his garage, not by some shop.

you get what i'm saying? theres a bunch of untouched territory and some people are just too scared to go there.

I just relocated my car battery to the back.

4 gauge power wire attatched to the existing power wire under the hood ran all teh way to the back of the car, and I grounded the original ground wire to a grounding spot under the hood.

I bought a 2 gauge ground wire which I used to ground the battery in the back, and everything has been working smoothly!

i figured out my error, i had the fuse box connector on a ground instead of on the battery, which is now in the trunk, so i had to attach it to the starter solenoid

everything smooth here also, lovin the new space for my custom intake
