I don't know Instigator's financial situation, but maybe he isn't worried about this whole ordeal? I never heard him b!tch about people telling him the wrong info, or that he couldn't afford to do things right. Looks like he gave it a shot, and some things didn't work out. Maybe give him a break?

Or he could have saved a lot of time and $ and sent it off to be done correctly. Now he has to mess with pulling it out and opening it up. Also spend on replacing farked parts. How many people on here don't listen and think they can fix/build anything? A lot. And how many come back after not doing thourough research and have a major cluster fu[k? A lot. People need to reassess abilities. Some thing are difficult and should only be done by those with experience with tools. Speaking of tools... at what point did you turn into one? When Stazi, Rick and I send the trans out for work we do that should tell people something. Whenever I post Terry's take you get your panties in a bunch like you have a personal vendeta against him. It gets real f'n old. You don't talk this way in person so why on a car forum. Would you say the same things to Terry's face at SZ if he came? Doubt it. If you don't like it STFU and move on. You know he he comes off in type. He tells it like it is like myself. Foreplay is for pu$$ies.[rant off]



You obviously missed my entire point! Point is, Instigator didn't come on here blaming you, or Terry, or anyone for HIS mistake! If he was pissed at you guys, I'd see there be a reason for you to give him sh!t. He asked a "hypothetical question" because he wants to fix HIS mistake. If someone doesn't want to read what has been posted, then let them figure it out on their own, it's obviously what they wanted to do anyways by not taking your advice in the first place. As for me having something against Terry, think again. I've recommended him several times over on SVTP, as his name isn't as recognized as it is here. I just think some people could take a step back and look at how they're acting to a guy that has done nothing but ask a simple question. Again, it was his mistake, and he knows he has to pay for it. Kicking him while he's down wasn't exactly necessary. Like I said though, not everyone has been wrenching on cars their whole life, and maybe this is just something he wants to learn on. Mistakes are only going to make him better/stronger. As for in person, nobody gave me a reason to go off on a tangent in the couple of meets that I've seen you at. I'm a nice guy until I have a reason not to be. Anyways, I didn't even realize that you were speaking for Terry in that post until after the fact. You usually italicize his quotes. Don't take everything to heart Todd, it's the intraweb!

P.S. I met Terry at Spring Zing and he seemed like a nice guy. Why is it I'm getting called out for being an dick? All I did was stick up for the original poster.
