"howdy kid, how 'bout somma this... OILY stuff?"
but i like kraft peanut butter butter - it's never oily, and never dry!
i agree with Sam - at least if you tell them to search, the unbeknownst questioner will at least find out that the question has been covered somewhere! Otherwise you get "bump", "does anyone know", "comon SOMEONE has to know", "why doesnt anyone know what brakes i can put into my RA23 celica?"
...couldn't help the last one!

Maybe "go do a search" is a symptom.
Maybe the problem is that people are getting cheesed off with the fact that the forum is increasing in size, yet the average knowledge/experience in actually performing conversions/having mechanical knowledge/understanding physics is sharply declining, making thew worthwhile posts thin.
Maybe it's time for an "expert/experienced/no newbie questions/lots of simpsons stuff/gt ed norbie trev etc can be tactless dont click here" forum.
Maybe I need a signature. Maybe I need an avatar. I feel naked.

Or maybe its time people just got over it and did the same thing every other forum tries to push and use a little common sense before asking a question that gets brought up all the time...

Hehe, I thought so.
I'm not having a dig at you or anyone in particular, I just think its common courtesy in all the other forums I frequent so why should it be any different here?

I agree with the "do a search" reply. there are far too many people around these days who expect everyone else to do their work for them.
as far as I'm concerned,certain things don't need to be explained here. if you can't work out seriously basic stuff yourself,you have no place working on a car as far as I'm concerned.
if you've never worked on one before,go buy a book on the basics,and read it WELL.
you don't enter a GTP race before getting a driver's license do you?
be a sponge,and soak up all the info you can. read,listen,and learn. don't expect everyone else to build the car for you,and teach you how to do it all,in five easy steps. it doesn't work that way.
the same goes for asking stuff on the forums. go read up on something before you start posting about it. the net is absolutely FULL of info on pretty much anything toyota people could want to know. as Ed demonstrated,the info is there,and it take stuff all effort to find it most of the time.
remember that people aren't out there to serve you,they give out info as a courtesy.
be a bit more mindful of that. just because you ask,doesn't mean that it's their DUTY to reply to you with the info.
