i had a real nice 03 VW passat with a 1.8 turbo in it

i had the ECU flashed so the engine would spike at 18 PSI and hold 17 ALL DAY LONG

everytime i hit 3200 RPM it felt liek being rearended by a semi

having said that, the clutch was gone by 100K miles

heres one for inspiration

$174,000 to rebuild what is basically a glorified Beetle engine?

shoot, i ougtha give them a call, tell them i'll do it for $150,000 even

what about all these so called "muscle cars" and then they only have a ford in there

In order to come up with good ideas, you have to study other peoples' work, soak it in.  And yes, there's also a level of copying and mimicking . . . Shakespeare said it best:  NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.

 

i wonder if he got that soaking in the Bible, copying and mimicking the words of the Preacher in Ecclesiastes 1:9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

other than that i do have to side with the good docter, imitation is the highest form of flattery

we all have a common interest here and there are times when i see a fellow modeler build something that makes me think "ah-ha! thats what i need!"
