Or you could have gone to the banned user log to see why he was banned.

Highly subjective matter in the BUL

niky · Aug 13, 2009

Well... his problem was presenting his subjectivity as gospel, despite repeated warnings not to do so. Any time anyone questioned his stating of opinion as fact, he either ignored us or backed down and reposted the exact same thing several pages later, saying that those "GT Fanboys" never presented facts to back up their own cases, when it was he who never provided anything concrete to back up what he said. It was, frankly, annoying, and not conducive to the reasonably healthy debate that otherwise went on when he wasn't around.

Quite obvious flame-baiter, really.

Fresh meat for the ludicrous files!! From Mazdaman in the "Ask GTP about your car problem" thread:

Ok having a turbo problem i have a 1994 rx7 single turbo.It's around 700hp its running on c85.Im starting to see lots of white smoke from the turbo based on what i know it can be a leak.My question is how can i repair that without buying a new turbo??

I want to see this "700hp" RX7. And what the 🤬 is C85?! I know of C16 & E85.

Seven hundred horsepower and it can only print 22 pages per minute?

Lame.

mafia_boy · Aug 20, 2009

I see you googled up C85 aswell to find out what it was TB.

I'd like to see proof too. It's not the first time he's come out with an unsubstantiated claim. And if I owned a 700bhp RX-7 the whole world and all their dogs would have seen pictures of it, which are conspicuous by their absence on the forums so far...

Actually, C85 is apparently an 85 hp HO-4 airplane engine.

Who puts an airplane engine into a RX7?

mafia_boy · Aug 21, 2009

Man he must have boosted it heaps to get from 85hp to 700hp Philly!! He must be running a turbine like this.

Oh my. I hope he's got a good grill in front of that, and a warning sign like "Please stay away if you value your organs" etc.

I literally lol'd.

Boffin · Aug 21, 2009

Has anyone notified mazdaman of this? I too would like to see the said 700hp RX7.

mafia_boy · Aug 21, 2009

He'll be on overnight our time 80Y 2C2 I'd say, he's in the US. :cool:

But coming from his response to my turbo problem in the Cars Forum I'm a little skeptical. There are others watching this to see what happens aswell.

McLaren, I wouldn't have found it if it wasn't for my own car problems. :ouch:

But I'm glad I did find it.

*salute to the BS flag!*

Der Alta · Aug 21, 2009

Well, we have a handful of information, related to this car and person. Its been done before where the GTP detectives have hunted down and outed a person before they can post another pic.

How many 650hp RX7's can there be in the Brooklyn, NY area? Guessing that since he uses bad grammar, has an excessive use of text speak, likes to boast, and he's got one build pic of it, it's highly likely the car has been posted on some type of forum, somewhere. It'd be interesting to see it outed before he gets the shot posted.

Both. I have Ph.D in physics

I don't want to go in this "vs" thing, I like both games and will buy Forza 3 and GT5 day one. Though they focus on different aspects.

As for "drive" thing, my car is in both Forza and GT series and I drive it every day. But to say which is more real, you have to go on track and push the limits hard. Under the limit all cars are same and you can't tell anything

Just gets better as you go on and on.

Famine · Sep 13, 2009

It took me 30 seconds of digging to find that in fact he does have a Ph.D in physics - though it seems his specific field is quantum mechanics.

Rykon Zero · Sep 13, 2009

That wouldn't help here. I mean, cars don't pop in and out of existence.

(I do not possess a degree in QM.)

So, he can tell the realism of the cars' physics at molecular levels? :odd:

I think Azuremen's post still stands to a high degree that the guy is off-base on his "assumptions" that he refers to as facts.

Sorry to bring up the ugly past, I am convinced this IS an XE Fairmont Ghia.
It's a bit more than a grill to change from XD-XE though.

Someone that claims to be able to drive around the outside of any BMW couldn't get the bonnet(lights and grill), guards (indicators are less angle than XD), radiator support panel (for the Fairmont spotties) and get it all sitting as factory looking as this speciman.

The tail light and side mirrors are XF as stated earlier.

We have a new contender here with a claim to own both a GT-R and a 997 GT3RS....

crea
a real GTR does not sound like that....I own one and drive it almost daily....
the engine sound in this game is a disappointment like all GT games

crea
you can get driver license at 18 in hk.... I got mine at 16 in Canada

I've taken the R to the track a few times here... tbh, its quite a boring car to drive.... it makes driving too "easy", i much prefer taking my 997 GT3RS to the track

....crea, how this works is quite simple.

We have a lot of people claim to own a lot of different cars here at GT Planet, whenever it is something 'interesting' we do require proof.

The normal is a picture of the cars in question (interior and exterior) with a card sign visible in each shot reading "Hi GT Planet this is crea".

Now we are not saying that you don't own these cars, but we are saying we would like proof, as we will not just take your 'word' for it.

Thanks

Scaff

Pupik · Sep 30, 2009

Actually, the GT-Rs are really disappointing this season, especially if Tim Tebow doesn't play.
