Used Project Orca

Any one have a cd they would be willing to part with? Or maybe we could work something else out?

Don't waste your money. I have the project ORCA CD and its garbage. Much better information is available for free on the internet.

Here is a good starting point:

Coming from a guy that dosent even have a twin cam in his car, that's BS....

When I did my swap, I used both AKG and ORCA. Guess which one was right? It wasnt AKG, besides ORCA is packed with other useful info that the AKG site dosent give. The AKG site is more of a teaser if you ask me.

Besides its only $130 or something like that... I thought it was well worth it.

What does it matter if I have a m50 family engine in my car or not? I simply shared that site as a good START, not the is all to end all.

ORCA is garbage. The layout is horrible, its cumbersome to use, and all the pictures might as well be postage stamps. I've been completely through the ORCA CD and read everything there is. Its not like I'm passing on someone elses "thats crap" opinion. I have the CD, and I think its junk. Nuff said.

If you NEED the ORCA CD...IMO you NEED to not do your own labor.

Dude, you are so self-absorbed it's laughable...

That comment is ridiculous... So you are saying that I'm not capable of working on my own car? Funny stuff... really funny stuff!

So because I purchased ORCA, I should have never attempted to work on my motor...


I should have never touched the interior as well...


There is alot of information that ORCA provides that is of value for those of us that dont have the luxury of having the time to find it on the internet.

Enough said...

The #1 enemy of good research is a closed mind.

You should shorten your s/n to "Bitch", it's far more apropos.

M Triple stop flipping. None of those comments were pointed at you. I've stated in the past that I liked your work, so why are you starting shit with me?

Those comments were directed at the person whom started the thread, and anyone that feels they NEED the ORCA disc (which I feel is garbage)

If you think ORCA is the best thing since sliced bread... great.. good for you... I personally dont.

All you guys get endlessly hung up on my opinions, nothings changing get used to it. Shit this time you went off on me because you couldn't see that it WAS NOT MEANT FOR YOU. Chill the fvck out.

Thank you for your ever valuable input, however my mind is anything but closed.
In the future save your fuel for someone elses fire. This isn't the thread for it.

I tell the kid not to waste his money, and this thread is the thanks I get. I forgot I'm posting on DTM, the only forum on the net where 90% of the members have more money then mechanical know how.

Funny.

You can find them on base model e30's. They are lighter, and don't have the cronic breaking problems that the locking handles do.

Yeah please, I really want to MOD my interior by putting in a "non-locking" glove box latch. I'll save so much friggin' "weight" I'll have to add more wedge. Why didn't you just keep driving your car into the water while you were ahead?

Jordan - I think you should work on the "Body fat deletion" mod to save weight and stop the cronic breaking of chairs, before you worry about the weight and breaking of glovebox handles.

I've never broken a chair thanks.

I'm 5'11.5" and 220lbs. What is the problem with that, and WHAT IF ANY relevance does it hold to this thread? Oh that’s right.. NONE.

My first post in this thread should have been the one and only post. It answered the topic at hand and pointed him in the right direction. All posts since have done nothing but move this thread down hill.
