Come on, guys.. This Corona thread is for Corona owners, past and present, to gather and share experiences and knowledge etc.. Let's not turn this into a war zone, k?
Feezdya, it's nice of you to come over to our thread and share your Corona experience, even though you're already driving a Skyline, no? We do appreciate it and we're always more than happy to welcome any newcomers to this thread, it's not an "exclusive" thread reserved just for 2o2r, Corona_ice and myself. The more, the merrier.
As for what bro Shan said about 2o2r, I can back every word of that up too. He's a very nice guy, never hesitant to give help in the form of advise to anyone who needs it. I still remember the very first time I pm'ed him when I was still a newbie on zth, he was already inactive at that time and was ready to sell his car. Yet, to my surprise I received a call from 2o2r himself that very night, and we then talked for like, 2, 3 hours about the Corona and the 4AGEs! Since then, I have always turned to him for advise and God knows how my car would have turned out without his experience and advise.
Yes, I can tell you that 2o2r is straight and never afraid to speak his mind, never afraid to shoot you down if he feels you're talking kok, but see that as the beauty of him. He tells things the way they are, he won't say particular things to please particular people, he won't say things he himself doesn't know, and he will tell you that you're wrong if you're wrong. Look back in the past pages, and you'll see that he wasn't afraid to shoot down even the 20v BT here in a Toyota forum! You won't hear him telling you to go ahead and get some performance part that he himself has no experience with, hoping that you'd become the lab rat. And he won't be telling you "


" if you start telling him that your 4AGE 20v is running 200whp stock, just to ampu you and make you happy, no.
Bro, just take it this way: 2o2r put his post in a sarcastic way but it wasn't directed towards anyone in particular. In fact, I thought the Veyron post was directed towards
me for telling the 260kph story. So, don't take offence, k? If 2o2r wanted to be real hostile, he would've said something like "238kph? That's some serious BULLSHIT there" or something like that. If it's a typo, it's a typo, no need to get so worked up over it.. Just take it that it was some sarcastic but overall playful banter from 2o2r, no harm intended, k?
To your previous post, like I said, 2o2r has always been very helpful to newbies, take me and you have the best example. I'm not 30+ either, in fact I'm not even 20, but 2o2r, corona_ice and the others have never treated me like they were high and mighty or like what you said, "old and experienced", all I've felt is sincerity and the passion we share for the same car. Maybe 2o2r gets a little annoyed sometimes when newbies come to the thread and just ask a question that has been answered many, many times before, expecting to be spoon fed, just like how he gets annoyed when he perceives someone to be talking kok. But the truth is, yes he started this thread and he deservedly claims the most credit to information and knowledge contributed in this thread, but he has never behaved high and mighty or ruled this thread with an iron fist. He, and we, always welcome fellow Corona kakis and fans to come mingle in this thread, there's no doubt about that.
So, bro, don't take offense okay? Chill, and peace. Hope you'll come back and maybe help out with the newbies since you had a lot of experience with the Corona and the GZE as well. Cheers
