This is what I keep telling myself, even though I own an '03 HSE (76K on the clock) with a (Nearly) perfect (- need a DS seat heating element) interior. For a few grand, I'll replace the engine with something that'll run for a decade.

I've been through some tough times and have had to sell a couple of precious items, but my '03 rover wont be up for sale. I'm just biding my time to put in the CDL and Detroit locker (rear, with splines).

When my D2 shits the bed I'm going to focus all my time on meth production.

Pfft. I'm a CHEMIST (caps all around - I can make anything).

Although anyone can crank out a batch of meth, volume is where it's at, and since the Mexicans are making in the 100+ ton quantity, you can't compete.

That said, I think in 30+ years, I'll make some LSD and finally watch The WALL as it was meant to be seen......

Yes, but would it be as pure as Walter White's meth?

ignorant motherfuckers postin in tech threads.



Ho and Axel, wake up. This is why MAR has shrunk to nothing. SAE is off the map. CROC aint shit. National rally east coast is in Colorado.




Take control of this forum, before it is the laughing stock of the next forum, like LRO, LandRoverForums, etc.


I don't wheel with one member of this forum but the members make for some good general chats and seem to bring like minds together. Maybe it's time to check for vag for sand?

Tom,
75 has been around for a lot longer than you give him credit for. Although he was gone from Dweb for a while while he played with his G. He still came wheeling with us, though. Even came to MAR a few times and SAE.

I actually agree with 75. Except on the soft shackle thing - those things are trash for regular use. That's another thread, though.

JohnB,
Try again.

Well, like I said, if he answered a simple question no assumptions would be made.
Anyone who's been on DWeb for 5-10 years will know the General section hasn't really changed much. Other than maybe getting milder.

Definitely 13 years ago there were more conversations about tech stuff. At least that is what I remember. Maybe more mild in general, but not sure that it was that much more mild.

I am still curious, when is dweb start?

When a $4,200 Falcon Northwest Mach V had a grand total of 256mb RAM, and people still used AOL CDs to level furniture.

Oh, I agree. There was more tech even 5 yeras ago. But the OP wasn't about that, just the gun, scope and money laundering threads (which have always been in the General section) and non-tech postings in the tech section, which bugs me too, at least somewhat. I used the "New Posts" search so no matter where a thread is I'll see it and can decide if I want to read it or not. If I'm looking for something specific I just Google DWeb.

I just browse the site. If I don't find something interesting, I don't click on it. I don't see why someone should complain about irrelevant or undesirable topics.

The tech section wound down, as has been said, because there isn't as much tech to discuss right now. Things that were going to be done have been done. It comes back every now and again as new ideas surface.

In between those times, it's just another forum for people with broken shit.

Cheers,

actually, you are correct. we purchased an engine and ecu from a vendor who sourced the parts from you. that vendor knew we specifically asked for a specific ecu.
we specifically said we need an '03 non-lev ecu.

first ecu was incorrect. i personally returned it via UPS to you.

second ecu was incorrect. it said right on the ECU 'KV', which is a freelander ecu. plugged it into the truck, read the vin, ran the vin, and sure enough it was a freelander ecu.
i once again personally returned via UPS to you.

third ECU showed up, and once again it was incorrect.

the confusion i have is this. Randy Williams, the actual vendor we purchased this through, said you told him you called me and talked to me about this. you never called me.
I resorted to calling Justin Monnin, since you two are friends, to see if he could call you and straighten this out.
the end result was me having to put the secondary air heads back on the truck, which equaled a good bit of time and money lost.

Randy Williams assured me, on the third and final ecu, you told him you personally went out to an '03 non-lev and pulled the ecu.

you can resort to name calling all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that you were involved in this transaction. i was unaware, at the time, this is not uncommon with used parts...vendor doesnt have something so they source it from another vendor.

instead of name calling, call me out and call me a liar that you were in no way associated at all with this transaction. call Randy a liar, that he did not source the engine and ecu(s) from you. call Justin Monnin a liar, that i never called him and asked him to call you and send another ecu out to us.
monday, i will call UPS and get the tracking information regarding the ecus i personally shipped back to you, properly labeled and bubble wrapped.


Ok Mike, we will go through this again.

1. You are an asshat, you know I think this. I disapprove of your continued existence on this planet. I was rather clear in my explanation of this to outside of Boston coming home from Romp. This is why you never called me once about this. You lack the minerals.

2. Randy called and ordered a 4.6 Non SAI engine and Ecu from me. I had one and he gave me that address and when I saw it was your shop I called him and told him I didn't want to send it as you weren't someone I cared to business with. He said we already had the money and he had delt with you before. I went ahead and shipped the motor and correct ecu out of the same non sai truck.

3. No one told me that someone was trying to do a SAI to Non SAI swap on this car. I don't know of anyone who has done this successfully. I sold 2 of these set ups to people besides you and neither could make them work. Did you swap the fuel pump? BCU? Other parts? If you did you didnt get that stuff from me. I won't sell a motor to anyone trying to do this sort of swap anymore because I don't know of anyone that has made it work.

4. The first ecu was the correct one for the motor. Your computer said it wasn't but in a previous thread you admit that you (or a family member) had an D2 that said the ecu was secondary air and it wasn't. You sent it back. The second one that was sent was a mistake on my end. I told my guys to send the ecu I sat on the work bench and they grabbed the wrong one. This is the only part of the transaction I apologize for, so there I apologize. After this was shipped I got calls from Justin and Randy, who you called instead of me because you are passive aggressive loser. You gave Randy a part number for the ecu and said it had to be that number. I over nighted you one with that exact number on it. You couldn't make that work either. I ended up giving Randy back some $$$ on the deal and telling him I wasn't sending you stuff ever again.

So there it is in black and white. I went out of my way to send you stuff after you couldn't make it work. It's not my fault you couldn't make it work.

This sounds like it belongs in the Tech section. Geesh, no wonder Dweb is "bonkers'!

Not you in particular Brett, just in general theory.
