[DML] SpecialT Parts (Re: Bolt On Performance.)

["turbodelorean" <dmcfan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok I realize that my post took some people the wrong way and others 
agreed off list but would never post it themselves. I get it. 
Everyone has their own opinions and they are entitled to them, just 
like I am. Most people here might not know where my hostility began 
with John because it was started on the other popular dmc forum. 

John constantly posted and hijacked one of our threads for our 
products stating that our product was not the fix for the fans and 
that we were using parts that he deems do not exist. So of course I 
had to come out and defend it. In the end it was revealed that the 
stock fans we tested don't even come close to the ampage John 
constantly stated (30 amps). So John kept posting that our product 
wasn't a solution to the problem which after testing, doesn't really 
exist like he says it does. He used our own product thread to 
advertise his own product. 

So that is why my responses lately have been they way they are. All 
I ask is to not just take one man's opinion and think it is correct. 
Make sure when you are taking advice that it is accurate advice.
