The few tricks that we did and some of your advice went a long ways
I guess you miss read what I posted. It WAS going straight, as in before you started to take more weight out, you are now making more weight changes on the car, your going to have to make more chassis adjustments once your done taking this new found weight out of the car is all I am saying.

^^well, ok, it's your car. I just think there are other things you need to focus on to get the car to run the numbers. Good luck with it Paul.

Does anyone else want to make the good old "tin can" or "refrigerator for an IC" jokes? It's getting old and every thread on here has serious negativity from all sides. I'm sure glad I didn't set a goal to try to break a record as look what happens to you on the way.

Everyone of the posters in the big threads lately has one single objective, make themselves look good and others look bad. NICE.

I agree, the constant mudslinging in good threads gets old and only makes those involved look worse.

Did I make any Jokes at Paul? Did I say ANYTHING about his car being a tin can? or did I say ANYTHING about his I/C setup? No I did not. I have been trying help Paul out here and there when I can. Cutting it up like that just means it will be that much more unsafe. I would hate to see anything happen to the guy if something did go wrong. I honestly think too many people read post on evom out of context, you being one of them apparently.

If I was making jokes at Paul you would know, trust me. BUT I do believe he can run some damn good numbers without having to take anymore weight out of it. If anything I was giving him and the car props in a way.

I know Paul personally as we have met a few times, we have talked several different times and he has asked for my advice. So before you say I was bashing on him in this thread, think again.......

I didn't direct the comment at anyone in particular, it was more of a general statement on some of the big threads lately. I'm just tired of all the nastiness. I did not mean to suggest it was you I was talking about by posting directly after you.

I just want to come on here, read about some fast evos, and not be like ugghhh, that was low.
