HPFP at what point??
tony_danza:
I honestly don't have a problem with you giving you opinion and reasons for your choices, but as Matt alluded to, they are always with an added slant.
Everything you post up is basically "these are my opinions and choices, these are the best without question. Everything else is sh*t, everyone else is wrong"... with an "ETTO" caveat.
What I don't know though is why you do it? Is it to justify the decisions to yourself, or convince others into your way of thinking?
Individual choice is just that and fact is fact - leave the hearsay bullsh*t out of it, we're not in America.
I like you Robin, I respect a lot of what you say and your values, but Christ do you get carried away!!

No, what you’ve done is a self indulgent diatribe into the ins and outs of hearsay.

....I don't take kindly to the "self indulgent diatribe" accusation. If you want continued respect from me you had better afford me some respect irrespective of whether you agree with my views.
The rest of your post I understand and see the validity of your points. The importance of using an expert for installation is the same point I made. I don't doubt that Revo have already read my words and I have no problem with that - They already know that I am someone who is expressive of my views whether right or wrong.
Yes, if JKM were still doing both then of course I would trust them to fit an Autotech if it was the HPFP they recommended. I have to say that I don't know how APR justify the price of their pump but I do like what I hear about it.
I'm in many ways glad I posted what I did if only to bring out other people's views as well.
P.S. - I have just seen your Reply #40 and had best answer that separately in an effort to help you understand me better and maintain the peace between us. Then hopefully this thread can get back on topic.

....Surely everyone's opinions are based on what they believe is best. I share my views why I prefer one product to another - I don't suggest that everything else is sh*t unless I really believe that to be the case. I don't think the Autotech is sh*t - I just think the APR pump is better (for reasons already posted).
I'm not on any mission to convince others but I am here to share my opinions and to learn from others and even modify or change my opinions accordingly. I'm disappointed if you can't see that.
I actually hope to help others by contributing posts here but I always want others not to just listen to me but listen to other views as well and then make up their own minds.
The difference between here and the typical American forums is that here we can disagree and discuss everything calmly (as we all know) but it's accusations of self indulgent diatribes which veer towards the American style. Though across the pond they usually resort to stronger personal insults.

It wasn't an accusation or an insult, more a my head in my hands "good grief" moment. I'm sorry.
Ok, I'll re-word it:
"No, what you’ve done is a post un-necessarily padded out with hearsay instead of fact."
I understand your intentions and reasonings behind your posts, but when I look at them from an outsiders point of view I see what I said. Many others have said this too.
Can I suggest you maybe just concentrate on saying why you've chosen something, and leave out any other tuner/product in your attempt to bring balance. If you don't mention the "other" at all, your opinion of them can't be mis-understood.
