Dear R fellows
I would like to propose making a specific 850R board in the forum.
I donīt know how many of you might be interested, but it seems to make sense to me to have our own R place to throw opinions, share pictures and experiences on how to care our babies an make them run strong and fast.
Feedback please!

I honestly don't see the purpose of having a different board than the 850 one. The interiors are the same, the basic layout of the engine is the same, same suspension, etc. So, any work to be done on a GLT, basically, is the same on a turbo R, a T5R, and an R. Why give more headaches. Just my two cents. Anybody else?

My sons 850 is not an R but I still get good ideas and such from the 850 posters both NA & R. I wouldn't want to see it divided.

I am just as fanatical as you, if not more. One of mine has been modified to the fullest extent as stock goes. Anything more will have to be custom made, the other is stock except for a few well chosen pieces so that I can drive it on the street. Now, am I better than another 850 owner because his/hers is non-turbo? Or am I better because my R is faster/better/nicer than yours/his/hers/theirs? We all learn from one another. The non-turbo owner will learn which hop up parts are good. We as R owners will find different ways to correct the same thing we did a thousand times already, understand? We can't be elite, no reason for it. Sorry man, just me.

Hehe, dont worry too much about it, guys.
:)

I figured that there are many modding websites out there already. We're more into maintenance, i believe.
(Though sometimes, the discussions go for performance... :D)
