my brain really hurts sometimes reading this stuff. Especially in a handling and braking section. Yes, that thread is full of slotted rotors to release the gas from pads comments, and the classic

I'm not knocking the site in general, it's helpful for many things, but still........

Think that's bad? Step into the "General Discussion" forum of any BMW board. Alot of people with nice cars, no common sense, and too much money...

All hail FRRAX.com

Thanks for the morning laugh ... I rarely post in that section any more ...

I do get a lot of PMs, though ...

Same here (on both counts). Some days I still try (like that one). But most of the time, I just stay home (here at frrax).

Breathe little brake pads, breathe ....

Sooooo many idiots on LS1Tech.....

I'd pretty well stopped going there too. Amazing how fast things have degenerated and how little has been learned depite the efforts from several frrax people in the past.

It gets uglier every year the fbody isn't replaced as the LS1's get more and more affordable to the teens and the plain moronic. The pool of intelligent, reasoned owners gets smaller every day.

Or they move here.....

That is the reason why I came over here . You guys offer real knowledge without the sorting of junk.

-I remember driving backwards (to set the parking brake for old drum brakes )

-I remember telling my brother at Monster Mile not to just hold the brakes or they will fade (sure enough he came back telling me he held the brakes to the floor from 125mph until they faded away and that was what cause my warped rotors )

Anyone remember the chromed rotor thread .

That was a classic!

This is the only site that I use for f-body tech.

So Mitch.... Does drifting Make you faster through a corner? :leaving:

In the spirit of the season ... spreading good cheer and all, here are a few of my favorites ....

those "drifters" ... they crack me up, sometimes ...

And the crazy thing about it is I know those guys ... used to autocross with them. The guy named McCall trying to sell his car in the classifieds section also knows them. They are really nice guys.

I think they take their sport and/or the internet way too serious, though ...

I feel honored that I've left a lasting mark on the online fbody community!

That's got to be one of the classics....

....I use "Drilled" rotors.....










































....and they are PREEEEEEETY.... :leaving:

Sometimes I just want to hand out bans like lolly pops overthere just for the people who post stupid stuff thats already been covered.

By the way, I saved the stuff from my website if you need any of it (since the links are dead). Drop me a line and I'll send you what you need.

What, do you save them to break out during the holidays?

I used to have a file of some of my favorite stuff from the pre-crash LS1.com, circa 2003. Da's some funny sheeet!!

Those are all good ones! I still go to Tech mainly for engine related stuff....but you have so sift through so much garbage to find what you are looking for.

I like it here!

i don't waste my time on the corvette forums...

the one that really took the cake (i think on z06vette.com) was a slacker who posted a pic of his car at the dragstip... 30 posts later there was 1 post asking what he ran and 29 posts saying nice wax job - it's zaino. I lost several brain cells reading that thread that I will never go back (and all this time I was blaming the bottle of vodka I drank in Russia)

So Mitch, tell us about the pissing on the rotors data... have any ?

I agree. Thats why I started along the f-body road long ago. Much more tech & knowledgable support... Its been down hill ever since

of those 'classics' my favorite quote

(Mitch)

I never go into any other section, but the PCM reprogramming section on LS1 tech. There is still some crap to weed through, but it's not as bad. Plus there is some good info there (PCM section) for those who want to learn.

oh don't even start me on the moronisms spread on forums, and i'd say PCM section is one of the worse (although is getting better, due to consistant head bashing from few ppl that actually know what they're doing).
These ppl will take so much completely on faith, but when i present them with math and physics and scientific experimentation they jump on my throat, simply because it goes against what's been admited as 'truth' before. it's a contest of who's more public/loud/obnoxious about their finds than who's methodology's cleaner.
they really test my patience sometimes, as their complete lack of patience and knowledge of anything remotely scientific gets in a way of spreading what i consider (only after extensive validation by experimentation) to be correct. the only reason why i keep correcting and demonstrating my point time after time is to populate the forums enough that the 'signal to noise ratio' improves.

keep on fighting the good fight, and one day maybe we won't have to explain why drilled rotors are not really worth it.
yea, right

Morgan, that comment never made it to the right eyes ... :leaving:

I read that forum a couple times, it was painful. CZ28.com is just as bad. There are some knowledgable folks, but the signal to noise ratio is terrible.

Hey Mitch..............THANKS!!!!!!! my special rotors did not come with "Pipe" cleaners.............man a about pissed my pants


Thanks, I have'nt laughed that hard in awhile


Pipe cleaners

LS1Tech has really went downhill. I remember when all the mindless fbody punks hung out at the SLP forum . . . then SLP pulled the plug on that forum and a lot of them took up residence at LS1Tech.

I think I'm finished trying to save people from the Strut Tower Brace trap. You get them staightened out one day, and a couple days later there is a thread with 30 testimonials of "I put a STB on my car and felt an immediate improvement, the car was totally changed!"

That was great.... I rarely every go to LS1tech. Usually only when I have an interesting link to follow.

:stupid:

That was pretty DARN funny Mitch.

The SLP people went to Chirpthird.com LS1tech's undoing is a combo of LS1.com's demise and younger kids and punks acquiring LS1's as the prices come down.

You really want bad, LS2.com is your site.

Can you imagine the pressure I am under to NOT post in thess threads!

Yea, I decided to leave those alone as well. The first one has elves in his rotors....that explains the bumps. Or, maybe his rotors have a case of the mumps?

The second one has me puzzled. Maybe he has the ratchet set backwards, or he's using a breaker bar and pulling it the wrong way.....

On the caliper bolts? A breaker bar? use a torch?

Im not sure ill need it, people don't search anyway so its not gona do them any good. I do need the pics from the explanation of the 2 pc rotors that you did, but I think thats about it.

When I tell them to search before they post, they think im being a dick about it I didnt cover warped rotors in any of the writeups, but its such a common problem that you would think people would catch on to it.

Now that I think about it, it makes me want to make a "before you post" thread.

I have them, just tell me where to send them (send me a PM).

That is some of the most entertaining stuff I have ever read (I've read them a couple times now too). At the time though it's gets quite frustrating. The same expierence seems to be had on the majority of boards out there.

Good to know I'm not the only one.

Some of those guys are real Aholes over there! They are giving me a hard time about trying to get 2k miles out of valvesprings for a cam. They don't read what you right and what your intentions are.

There's a lot of idiots on LS1Tech that aren't worth your time to try and help them. But the guys on Corner Carvers are just down right ruthless!

I didnt even get approved for membership on corner carvers

Did you use the name "Stang Killer"? The word "Stang" causes some violent reactions over there and that might have been the problem.

You can't register with certain e-mail domains either like yahoo or such. I had to use my old college account to register.
