So you and your 10 or 20 friends in 4th grade are laughing at us. Congrats.

Everyone on the forum (at LEAST 200+) is now laughing at your subterranian IQ. You, sir, are officially a joke.

In a final test of irony, I hope you get hit by your grand-mamas Buick :D

Having said that, this topic is now about rear diffusers. Please refrain from discussing the original topic.

Epic over-reaction to a totally harmless and non-offensive comment.

The reason that you’re having trouble getting along on the forum Goose, has nothing to do with the car, neither the mazda nor the dodge. It is because you’ve spent a lot of time on other forums and with people where speaking and acting the way you do is considered normal and so you think that this is how people talk and act. But truthfully, people prefer to have interactions with those who at least attempt to show that they’ve given things some thought. In human communication this is one of the ways we show respect for one another. This is particularly true on this forum. It’s unusual on the internet and so it has clearly taken you by surprise. I think that some members went overboard in their replies, but you definitely overreacted to Ryan’s comment. I’m guessing that it seemed to you he was calling you stupid...and I’m also guessing he’s not the first person to have done that to you. It’s understandable that you would be sensitive to it...but none the less your reaction was unwarranted.

my reaction was warranted. when people act rude for no reason then there is reason to react how i do i am far from stupid. I am merely unexperienced with working on small motors. Things are much different on a big motor. Such as before if you will look i was having a computer difficulty and overposted something while also misposting something. Once that was done you and your said 200 members acted stupidly and made fun. I asked for pointers on how to turn my car around u were rude and crude and showed no interest in helping a fellow shade tree mechanic. But yet when i do yet again try fix said mazda, you all make stupid comment I.E. said rocket science comment. It may not be rocket science but yet to someone who hasnt worked on one before it makes things a little different, i asked for a few pointers and shortcuts, but yet you still acted rude with no consideration for how other people comprehend things. As for the other forums i have never had the same kind of reaction i have here everyone here likes to use sarcasm, and wont come out with a straight answer. Whereas i asked the same question on the srt4 forum and got a straight positive answer. Dont get me wrong i can understand some joking around but when none of you actually know me that well i wouldnt joke around, why try and then be insulting about it? By the way me and my friends loved the troll comment that was cute, but the dude was kinda small, and im nothing close to a troll. But i do thanks the last guy for an actual civil answer. The rest of ya BITE ME

What you fail to understand is you are at what I hope to god is the tail end of a large number
of newer users who keep asking the same questions over and over. Instead of doing a small
search for information they want all the info spoon fed to them. The more experienced crowd
are all getting very frustrated with the same things asked every week and we are getting
sarcastic.


Now back on topic, you have a MX-3 with a waterpump needing to be replaced. Get started
and take some pictures if you get stuck. Most of the people on here can talk you through the
waterpump in thier sleep. Its a good idea to change the timing belt and idler/tensioner pulleys
if you do not know when they were last changed. You can find complete kits which include the
timing belt, tensioner, idler and new water pump online for around 100 bucks. Do not start until
you have all the parts. Get some tie wraps too they are super useful when doing the timing belt.

Again I believe you've missed the point. When Ryan said "It's not rocket science" you heard..."It's simple enough even an idiot like you could do it" . However what he was really saying was..."It's a pretty simple operation and a person with average mechanical aptitude ought to be able to muddle through it fairly easily" . This is in no way insulting to you, but because you are firmlly on the defensive you chose, and continue to assume it was intended to be. This is called a "scotoma". Because you assume people are going to be disrespectful, everything they say seems to be disrespectful...even when it's not.

You lashed out, others lashed back and now the situation is more or less irretrieveable.

In other words that's a horribly designed setup with turbo lag and that you're making excuses. The SRT4 is car with a fast motor but the build quality that would make Kia point and laugh. Sure, I give credit where it's due. I've got a friend with a 400hp SRT4 and yep, it would kick my Mx-3 a--, along with almost everything else.

This is coming from a guy using a 105hp Mx-3 to make the comparison...well duh! Most can run faster than those!

Myself, I have nothing better do to, so I can post on here and play too. Your reaction was not warranted based on how exagerated your reaction actually was/is. I can and will spend as much time as I want arguing aginst you until you change your tune, or until you leave. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter now right, better or smarter we are than you, if you're an idiot, we just can't win against that kind of low. And you'll just sit there and laugh anyway cause you just don't get it, nor ever will.

You were ok till you made the apology comment. You have no reason too cryptic or not.

Sheesh, and that was a joke. Now I'm apologising about apologising about making a cryptic comment that may or may not have been cryptic.

You non-rocket scientist.
