Hello Mikael; Unless you are discussing a subject as absolute as mathematics, where 2+2=4 is irrefutable, then posting your ideas/comments about mods for a Pantera or for that matter ANY car is naturally going to provide the opportunity for others to have alternate, opposing viewpoint/s.quote:Originally posted by No Quarter:
Thanks for the kind words from some of you, especially the pm's.
Less inspiring are the comments from people that clearly have not read it, where I'm accused of being against improving anything. I'm all for improving, my Pantera is testament to that, but it has to be the RIGHT improvements. Example, when my first Pantera didn't cool the engine properly, did I cut holes in the front lid, put on bigger diameter pipes, install electric water pump, speed up/slow down water pump? No, I made sure the system already designed was Working As Designed. And that did the trick. Correcting instead of Compensating. Spending your time and money wisely.
So, to reiterate, modifications/improvements in general are good. A handful of the popular modifications/improvements discussed on this forum are at best a waste of time and money. Just my opinion.
I won't comment on this stream any further, unless somebody has comments on where I'm wrong on the 5 specific not-to modifications I mention. Then it gets interesting IMO
And next time I contemplate spending an evening putting such a text together for the benefit of my DeTomaso friends, I might just go out in garage and wash the cars instead...
That is just a fact of life.
I must have thicker skin than you as I personally did NOT read any comments that could be construed as insulting or inflammatory.
I personally would NOT want to be part of a website where discussion & counter ideas were not encouraged nor expressed, as how boring would that be if everyone was monolithically nodding in total agreement at everyones thoughts.
So keep posting at the cost of your cars not being washed
