Kauve,
Will you start up a new thread for the euroteck diffuser? I didn't realize they had anything but the 4 fin. What's the 2 fin look like?

Haha, not trying to tell anyone what to do. Just suggesting we ease up a bit on the guy. I really believe he will have a car this coming Monday.

I agree, that is a bit odd. But it does appear he is learning and getting better.

I completely agree to this and follow this method as well. That's how most seasoned forum members are. While I don't know how long Toadster has been around forums, he seems like he is new to it. Being on several auto forums, as most of you probably are as well, we have all encountered people new to the game. A good amount of us started out the same way making mistakes when we first hit up the forums. It's how we grow from it all that determines our worthiness.

He seems like an ok kid, just a little overzealous.

Toadie...that's as close to an apology as you are gonna get. I'd roll with it, post a wee bit less, and move on! Congrats, I knew you'd "'Git-r-done!". Enjoy and don't put on those DWS's. Z
