I think Ben’s method of breaking in his motor is so insane it needs no emoticon.
I happen to agree. Joe is a funny dude but I don’t know if everyone knows when he is kidding vs. serious. Ben seems to have some crazy issue with motors - no idea what he is doing to cause these failures (4 in total I think, 3 subi’s and 1 RS4?) but anyone I would imagine would think twice before following his recommended break in procedures. I assumed Joe was quoting something Ben wrote somewhere because someone else pm’d me those exact instructions and said “Ben gave me this info.”
I have a post/thread cued up just for Ben. I had it written and then didn’t post it. Maybe I should lol.
Do people know that he’s like 18? Not saying that being young is a bad thing, but I think he presents himself as some knowledgeable car wizard when in fact he’s a high school student who plays with lasers and computers all day.
I was kidding. There is no way to add an emoticon using Quick-Reply so I just don’t use them on here. I guess I could memorize the codes for the emoticons.
Sakimano, just from an education standpoint, you should post the Benjamin Tobias Steigerwald FAQ
How do you “quick reply?” I only see “reply.”
After every post Joe makes Ben jumps all over him now. Its getting a little old. Joe doesn’t even mention JHM and Ben pulls out the JHM fanboy smack talk every time. Dude is a broken record.
Same here NY07
^Yeah I know. He is buddies with NGNG so he’s trained to attack anyone who likes JHM. Anyone ever wonder if NGNG pays him to make up stories about his car pinging?
It’s the big white box at the bottom of the page. Maybe you have to enable it in your settings? Don’t remember
cool threadjack bro
I think I fixed your mistype there joe, cheers ;D
It would be nice to be catless for cylinder temps, but the RS4 design is a bit better on manifolds to dp/cats. But I completely understand why you’re just grateful they were so nice to give you a new motor basically and will do your best to appease them for now.
Also, nice explanation of the AoA engine break-in procedure. It’d be nice to have that information stickied somewhere for reference and understanding.
i wouldnt doubt if ngng posts for him a lot of times.
I don’t think they’re proper friends. They live in the same state, but I’d submit that they just both hate JHM and the JHM fanboys (a.k.a. 90% of the 4.2 forum folks lol).
ngng is probably around 30. ben is like senior-in-high-school aged. There’s a bit of a NAMBLA thing there if they’re hanging out.
NAMBLA…I had to google that.
Southpark had a great episode on it.
national association for marlon brando look alikes
Had to Google Marlon Brando too. WTF guys don’t use anything pre-1990
had to quote this for posterity LOK, one of the most well known movie actors ever
have you seen fight club yet motherfucker? Until you do don’t come back here.
Not yet. Pretty sure it’s recorder by now.
