This guy should be banned like he was on other Miata forums. He's also under the username Racing Grandpa. He swings around all these wild ideas and project builds and is always trying to do it the cheapest way possible. Also, I've seen arrive and drive autoX programs to a 25 Hour endurance build proposals just in the last couple weeks. Neither of which are really happening.
Sorry you feel that way about me. However, if you checked with Corky Bell, Bill Mercer, Tom VanDelzen and about 5 others that are experts in FI and Miatas, I think you would feel differently about me.
Then as for business plans. I have seen hundreds of them. You can check with John Stumpf, President & CEO, of Wells Fargo Bank. Wells is the 20th largest public company in the world and I used to work with John.
There is a difference between cheap and least expensive. It comes down to the ROA one wants to achieve. The AutoX program is a loss leader.
My program provides benefits for SCCA and other motorsports club members that no one I know of provides. I can only do this because I am retired, want to help others, do not need an additional income and do not have to borrow any money for a $50k investment.
As for M.net it is full of posers and the administrator did not do the job he should have to keep the turbo heads from leaving. The war between those with the Fastforward Supercharges Coldside M62 and turbos got out of hand. It ended up resulting in losing Gord, Emeritus Moderator, from the forum. The moderators pick and choose who is and is not advertising in their posts. In my case, I provided help to those in WA needing help with their high performance Miatas by providing links to two shops web sites. That was considered advertising. But those that provide links to non-sponsor products are not advertising.
In my opinion M.net has problems and I just left because I wanted to. I have sufficient resources without it. My wife is the administrator for an international engineering forum. The moderators all have Ph.Ds and their charge is to weed out the posers.
Be careful about making assumptions like the posers do
