I think its all fair enough , when doing R&D its a good idea not to speculate ;) - if these mods where just the usual old mods that have been done on most mechanics books for ages, then i'de be expecting to hear what is getting done and detailed info on it. By the sounds of it all so far - new developments/modded mods are being researched and improved, and as such i wouldn't expect to hear too much until G&D and their customer are happy with their results, that stand their grounds . Also i wouldn't expect G&D to let too much out of the bag for ya's all yet either !- they are a company - using their machines and time ( and others cars ) to improve mods for the better - do you ( people asking more more more ! ) think G&D are going to hand you all the details on a plate after all their R&D and time and money involved - just so u can make one at home or try anyways... NO WAY ! - they will be hoping you will come to them to get the mods. You might get a bit of info on whats being done , but as far as details guys about the percific mods and its data i wouldn't expect too much for some time to come , at least untill a few people have their new setups installed by G&D and they have made their $$'s from it , which is all fair enough - thats business ! .
As far as this thread goes, i havent got a problem with it , i have enjoyed reading it. As mentioned - if you dont like it then dont read it , just the same as if you dont like certian tv programs - you dont watch them .. easy ;) ..peace !

know i might be off topic here but i dont think that the above comments are right.. although it just could be your opinion but by saying that you need to be a donating member to make any comments on threads is wrong... this is a public forum i as far as im concerned run privatly by ford enthusiast such your self and just because your a moderator and run your own au falcon club link with this forum doesnt make you very special and infact sounds like your not doing any good to this forum either by letting fellow members down by such comments think about what the new members of this forum, exiting donating and non donating members would be thinking... im only saying all this because like you said there are lots of "drop in member" in this forum and its "US" whos made this forum what it is and its because of this drop in members that this forum has its sponsor and is such a big community own its own...................... im difinetly puting my intentions of becoming a "donating member" or "sponsor" in rest for now....... there's always two sides to things.... and you shouldnt be irrational when making your comments i once again wish both you and G&D good lucks with the future plans and looking forward to meeting you in the BBQ.................... Kind Regards Hariss

It's ridiculous how something that started as a bit of fun, in one thread, could lead to such garbage in another. It's beyond me. Unbelievable!! Another circus.....

I see this hole things as a bit of light hearted fun that people take a bit to serious at times but thats life.
I went through a simular thing when my BA XR8 was the benchmark for all. I had the quickest Un-Opened Boss 260 for ten months. I didnt expect it it just happend. There was heaps and heaps of R&D done on the car. We tryed everthing. CAI's, Throttle Body's, Spacers, Exhausts ect. Some of it worked some didnt. The first time it hit the track in this form it just happened to nail the quickest time anyone had seen. 13.29 I didnt think it was anything special. I thought it was crap. I expected alot more from it not relising what I had done mattered. I never understood the racing world. I found out my closest rival was a good half sec slower and I thought so what. People were talking 100's and 10ths of sec's. Im like what the hell drug's are you guys on. I want Half a sec.... The best I ever did was a 13.20. I soon learnt how it was in the drag world. My ute was always consistent and still is. The record now is so much quicker with the Flash Technology & r/d. I had more than a few things set me back for a while and couldn't step up to todays level. Now that things are getting back on track I want to get back to the track. There will be more R&D that will eventualy lead to more mods that can only help the consumer. I wish casper all the best and cant wait to see what comes of his car. At the end of the day it will benifit everyone. One thing to remember is peak power is not everthing. Hamo can vouce for that.... This may seem like one big Addvet for G&D but in my eyes the deseve it. They are a great bunch of people. This thread is ment to be a bit of light hearted reading. Bring on the MODS and........ GO FORD and GO G&D........

Well, I have come to the conclusion that while many people understand that this thread (and the previous one) is all a bit of lighthearted fun, too many seem to think that they have a right to know.
The fact that I have started this thread and stated I am getting mods from G&D does not make my car, G&D’s research, the list of mods being done, the price paid or the reasoning behind each change public property. Sorry guys but that’s never been the case nor will it ever be. Even previously I had tried a number of small changes and tweaks to get that little bit more. Some worked, some didn’t, hardly any became public knowledge nor will they in the future. That’s just the way it is. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyhow, in general, I have been an active member on this forum since day 1 and, during that time, have had a number of mods done. EVERY SINGLE ONE of them had similar “guessing” threads to this one and they were all a great laugh. Unfortunately something has changed recently and I’ve decided that the “fun factor” has simply gone. The amount of work involved to deal with people who think they have a right to demand answers and then call me a liar when I give them an answer.. or take cheap shots when I don’t is just too much. Threads like this are no longer going to be worth the effort. So I will close this one too. When I get the car back, when I have run an ET and when I feel like it, I’ll post up the results. I don’t need the pressure, G&D don’t need the pressure and I’m pretty much over the attitudes of “its in a thread therefore its my RIGHT to demand answers”. I want to thank all those that have supported the thread and had fun in it. Once again th majority is ruined by a minority.
