FYI, guys:
IMO, this thread is no longer constructive or educational, so I'm unsubscribing. This is an RT fan promoting what RT wants him to promote, and that's fine. Everyone is pretty well aware of my thoughts re: RENNtech at this point (thanks to Dusty posting the ling to my personal blog) and I'm sure that anyone who's been around tuning for a while probably agrees with me on all counts.

SO, have fun chatting RT - I won't be getting more notifications but that doesn't mean I've got nothing to say ... just nothing to say that I think is fit for a public forum.

Sorry to disappoint.... I am not promoting anything and have not been contacted by RENNtech to post anything about this stuff... In fact, I thought I was going to be contacted by them to take the pictures down since they were used without their permission I have no clue where do you get this type of information?

The reason I posted this here was that I saw it on the home page of the Benz Boost forum so I figured to tell the members here about it. And even before posting it here, I searched and couldn't find detailed pictures or comments about it, so I went ahead and created the thread.

I know you dislike RENNtech, but please do NOT generalize the purpose of my post based on assumptions. Check your PM

PM just asked for my cell no.

That said, I have no problem with RENNtech products, its staff, or its techs - I have problems with its management and their business practices, however, and that may be what you're getting a sense of.

As for the photos, they are mine, and are being used by RENNtech without my permission (their domain host and registrar have already been contacted, and a DMCA Takedown Notice has been issued).

Anyone here (you included) is more than welcome to call me here at the office during business hours (847) 485.8126. I've also sent you my personal cell, as requested in your PM.

Called both numbers and no one answered. You claimed that RENNtech told me to create this post yet you have no proof. I can similarly claim that Speedriven has instructed you to pollute other's threads, but I don't do so. Call me when you get a chance to talk.

It amazes me that you guys actually take time out of what I can only assume are busy lives, to talk to one another on the phone about some stupid post on the internet. Do you think anyone actually gives 2 *****s why you post here or what you have to say about RT ?? Do you think RT cares ? Jesus...I think everyone needs to take a step back and re-evaluate whats really important in life. And if posting on this forums is still at the top of your list, I'd say you need to find something better to do with your life. Just my honest opinion...YMMV.

True story, so I'm in Vegas this weekend, find my way into the Adult AVN Expo, a tradeshow for vibrators, **** movies, ****** made out of crystal and glass lotions, lubes and ***** pumps and I come across carbon fiber **** rings...IMO the Renntech garbage in this thread is just about as useful as those carbon fiber **** rings and I think I would rather drive in my car with one of those cf **** rings glued to the rear decklid than that ricer wing in the photo.

A short phone call would actually take less time than it would to post a few comments on here, so either way, we're all wasting a little bit of time by taking a small break from normal life to play online The phone call was not about this specific post by the way.

Anyways, I honestly don't know how he arrived at his conclusion, that RENNtech has instructed me to make this post in order to promote their products. Like RENNtech needs promoting The only reason I created this thread was because I saw this stuff blasted all over the home page of Benz Boost and I figured to post it here for you guys in the Black Series section in case you haven't seen it

Back on topic, I would really like to see some scientific numbers out of that diffuser.... looks promising.

Luke, I didn't buy one...I didn't see my size. So does the Goose sterilize it or something? Could you imagine if one splintered while in high gear

I might be back in Vegas with a couple buddies this weekend, I seemed to have misplaced about $15k while I was out there. Then I will be in OC on Monday checking in on my car at evosport.

GAH!

Some of us have vivid imaginations, and that is NOT a mental postcard I wanted to get this morning.

Also: thanks to the AVN post, I have re-subscribed to this thread, apparently.
