I agree with Rob, it's a shame really that people now have the need to keep what they are doing a secret. There have been some quite frankly ridiculous arguments on this forum in the past which have resulted in valued contributors withdrawing from sharing and joining in with discussions. Over the years I have really enjoyed reading all the k-head development threads and the Siamese injection threads (I still fancy a go at this at some point, may have to do it like dan187 and try to get hold of an mpi setup to figure it out). I don't think it's secrecy but you are absolutely right about the negativity (ridiculous arguements in your words) that makes some of us no longer say what we are doing until it it works. And to avoid the negativity, some of us now just share information by PM or email with just an occassional mention on the forum. Sad, but that's the way it is. tbh there are some very talented people on this forum. i am not really one of them however i have been here a while and for as long as i can remember there is a close network of friends behind this forum that all know what each other are doing more or less as like you say they communicate via pm or email without much updates of the forum. that's not to say its secrecy its just kept out of the eyes. Obviously from time to time you get a hint of something happening and 5 people know about it and we are all left guessing. can be fun or annoying but i suppose the point is i guess these it can make it pretty hard to get actively involved in the forum also. i too am guilty of this i guess as a lot of my plans i share with supermotto lee and i dont share here but then i look on it as why should i if everyone else is being so secret squirrel :) plus they are generally stupid ideas that lee has to listen too :p |

I think I have TM disease coming out of my ears at the moment. I have so many ideas of new parts to make that I dont have time to make them much less put them up on the net. Youll see them at some point though over the next couple of years and they will be worth the wait I seriously doubt it! |

If not already said before I think some people may be working on new ideas and fabrications but just not feeling the need to share at this point in time.

Nothing new and exciting from my rebuild, just busy tinkering in the garage taking my time learning to weld.

Although I'm relatively new to the forum, I was talking to Oli about this he other night. I haven't shared a build thread for a few reasons. My engine isn't gong to really set any hearts racing, and the car itself is nice but not completely different to cars we've seen over the years. My area that I've spent the time in research and money is the interior, but it doesn't really seem to 'fit' with most of the forum users. For a start its had probably 30kg of sound deadening, with another probably 80kg of audio....... Which is swearing on here  |

One issue i have is ease of posting photos. Maybe if it was easier to post photos, we would see more updates?

I'm another car audio fan, I don't intend to hide it! But sometimes less is more and quality over quantity. So my build has plenty of different things taken from different breeds and era's of mini :) On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

I personally think there should be a special area for members only who are willing to pay a fee/high rep on the forum so people can post things knowing that its sort of safe then at the end of the year do a meal of a weekend of antics with the money from it.

I think we are all just getting old!! As when I was a young spunker I would spend hrs and hrs on the mk1, but now a days I am F##ked at the end of the day. Selling it was mention the other day to go in the house pot. Edited by madmk1 on 2nd Jul, 2013. I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

I echo the above, as each year goes past we all get that bit older and commitments change and so do tastes so things take a back seat, in recent years with the economy being in such a shit state a lot of us have been hit hard, eg I lost my job and have been unemployed now for 3 months just as I started to pull my finger out with the mini, now motivation has dried up and all my time is spent looking for a new job :( On 15th Jul, 2009 fastcarl said:

Well we all need to revive the TM spirit; lets make a point of trying to get together at MITP. I for one will be enjoying a plate of haggis and you are all welcome to join me |

I agree the demise of the showdown is crap, but to be honest it's probably the Internet that killed it off, I can remember going in 1997 and it was huge, all the camping fields were full, the place was chocka. However to me MITP is a good second place, its still a decent weekend bash with a bar on site so I also echo Robs comments above and hope to see you bunch of bastards there!

I love looking at the build threads, I'm not very experienced so I suppose it's because it's pretty much all new. I would put one up myself, but to be honest I haven't got a lot done, and so far it's nothing special.

Nice to see a little debate and feeling.  It's been a while since we've had a thread that has had this many posts inside of 24 hours.
Anyway, I'm off back out to the garage to finish fitting the dash in the mini.  Anybody else got the spanners out?
I'll tell you what would give people some motivation - Mr Fenton cracking on with his mini |
