In most cases, what he says in a page, can be said in a short paragraph. It does bother me a bit that he makes claims to working as a journalist, because as such, you are required to present any information you have in a clear and concise manner. His shit is anything but clear and concise. If he does work as a journalist as he claims, one can’t help but wonder if he’s as crappy of a journalist as he is a driver and tuner. > My issue with ahmed has always been the misinformation he spews. Everything he says is grabbed off various forums, and rephrased without being verified through either knowledge, or first hand experience. > I can attest to the braking abilities of a stock 240SX, from my own (limited as it may be) track experience, as well as from the experiences of Andrew and Adam, whom I’ve talked with on many occasions on this subject. > I faded on Dunville (and boiled my fluid), NOT on Shannonville. Stock brakes, cheap street pads from NAPA, DOT 3 fluid. The limiting factor for me staying on the course at Shanonville, was either: the amount of gas in my tank, or pain in my arms from turning the wheel and holding myself in place because I didn’t have a proper harness and rocked stock seatbelts. > Andrew ran 180SX fronts, Motul RBF600, Hawk HP+ pads on a caged car with coilovers and R compounds. He did not fade, or boil on Shannonville. This is important because he runs much stickier tires than me, and generally pushes his car a lot harder. > Adam ran Z32 fronts, stock rears, with HT10 front pads and either HP+ or Blues in the rear. This is on a racecar with r comps, and a bajillion horsepower. > As for fading on the street, never happened. I’ve boiled the fluid on the G once or twice, but that was it, and I was doing some VERY innapropriate driving at the time. > > The other thing that bothers me about ahmed, is the fact that no matter how much reasoning and facts people throw at him, he stubbornly sticks by what he said, and never for one second considers that he has no education, skills, or experience on his side. He does not have a degree even remotely relating to automotive performance, he has not built any race/track cars, or raced cars. His only sources are other forums, and his dad’s Taurus. x4 ---

I ran stock rotors, calipers, pads and lines with fresh fluid at my first couple of track days at Dunnville and yes, after around 10 laps at Dunnville, the brakes did start fading. At Mark’s most recent track day, I was running Z32 brakes and Hawk Hp+ pads at the front with SS lines all around. While the brake bias was way off, I didn’t experience any brake fade at all. ---

Ahmed, all you do is look for threads to make on zilvia so you can gain rep and so that you get people to think that you know what you’re talking about. You clearly demonstrated that you havent been on a road course by avoiding mikes question. Furthermore, you turn into a baby everytime someone makes you look stupid. Hell, im going to call you out on not a being a journalist as you claim because your grammar and concision are terrible. You’ve made 0 progress on your car in 3 years, aside from recently purchasing some knuckles and tc rods if that. Rofl, look at his list of “soon to have” [http://zilvia.net/f/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=365](http://zilvia.net/f/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=365) C ar to be completed by year 2020 sounds right. Until you can prove me wrong, you are a total liar and suck at the internetz. EDIT: Ahmed has been moved from being pinked on zilvia, to permanently banned, his life is over. Thank god. ---

The only useful bit of information I got off of that list, is that Ahmed spent a ton of time weight reducing his car, when he just so happens to be a fatass. ---

hahaha i always see this guys posts on zilvia… and to be quite honest, i now know why most Americans think that Canadians are stupid. and i know i never post really. but i do lurk all the time… and while im not involved in the ongoing argument at all i need to voice my opinion. ahmed, shut the fuck up. stop being a shit disturber and making stupid topics. im sick of shifting through them. and Mark, let it go. its like being in school again, just ignore the jerk and he’ll get bored sooner or later. seriously… who gives a fuck? They’re brakes, people buy what they can afford. Im sure if we were all baller as fuck here on SON we’d all be running Endless 12 piston calipers. Regardless, i dont want to get mixed up in this jerk session and have everyone here hate me for my opinions before theyve even met me. ---

I’m still wondering how it can be within the rules to make a new account when you’ve been banned. That kinda kills the point of banning someone in the first place. Also, there’s a rule against multiple accounts, so there’s one more point for a banning. Coles: I think he should be banned again. And again. And again, however many times he chooses to re-register. ---
