The late libbypapa thread

[wdkingery]

find a post by libbypapa! not one! i've searched for 45 minutes in many different ways!! did he delete?

i need his "how to blow black smoke and idle" thread!

[410]

I can't find a single post from Libby either.   Libbypapa you'll be sadly missed.  Definitely a top contributor.

[wdkingery]

i mean did he have to take his write-ups with him?? 

[theman53]

I did see one of my saved PM's that he had sent me had Guest under it. I figured he deleted his stuff after the UK know it all guy pissed him off, but I didn't think he would take it all. That sucks.

[wdkingery]

DAMN IT! what a let down! i guess i won't be turnin that fuel screw in anymore until i can learn how to get my idle back down some more..

[theman53]

If all you are doing is the fuel screw then all you need for a little less idle is the idle screw. If you look at making your 1.6 n/a a faster car or same but turbo or the 1.9 TD a faster car and there should be write ups on things to try. If you idle is still high and you have no more adjustment then is when you need to take the arm off and mess with that. Try to take it down normal first. All is in the FAQ section.

what happened?  i always thought this was the one place you could come and not worry about bickering

[wdkingery]

yes, do tell what happened at least

This isn't the first time Andrew left a forum is it?  Seems to me he was PM'd before by someone on another forum and left.  I thought stuff here was public knowledge and that you couldn't take it with you as they say about the last day.

Learned something new tonight.  I wonder where he will go? 

[DieselBalz]

Dang. Drama even here in such a friendly place. He will be missed. He always had great stuff and a ton of knowledge. He wouldnt last a day on ANY console gaming forum.

I think that he was probably tired of the Mark guy just continually trying to piss him off. That and after that mark dude screwed all of us about 2 years ago by saying he wanted royalties for a timing device that Libby wanted to make...then didn't because of it so we can't buy it. I think they didn't have the best feelings for eachother. At any rate I would him not just leave and take his info with him. This is all just guessing. I know neither party personally, nor do I know why he left. I would suspect that is why.

Now knowing all this info can be removed I would like someone to PDF all this just in case something similar happens again.

[ORCoaster]

Sorry to see him go as well,  he did help me on more than one occasion.  Not by answering my questions but answering others.  So I didn't even have to ask.  He seemed active enough so perhaps those of us that go to other sites will see his name or avatar and pass that back to this forum.

I agree, he will be missed.

If he didn't like Mark then why did he devorce us all by removing his posts and info. It makes me feel as if he didn't care to have his knowledge available to us at all. Plus, I find it hard to belive that anyone could get under his nerves. Except maybe ROR 2.0,  .

Don't get me wrong, Andrew was a great knowledge base of info and one of the founding fathers.

Much respect to him, but just come back.

[monkey magic]

well, if you spell his name properly plenty of his posts come up,


libbyBapa, not libbyPapa

 

edit:

I see now what you mean : (

Damn shame, great source of info, seemingly decent bloke, shame that this takes a lot away from the forum.

I have no pictures, but I can type out how to get it to idle properly once I'm off work. Basically just remove the whole throttle shaft assembly, MARKING WHERE IT SAT ON THE LITTLE NUB, rotate the little splined nub the throttle shaft sat on clockwise a notch or two, then reassemble the throttle assembly and turn the fuel screw up to compensate. Voila
