Ok, for the last time Donny, I'll explain it to you again.
You are your own worst enemy. You make countless posts on here claiming this, that and the other. You offer no proof or evidence and yet you expect us to all believe what you say.
Quite what you mean when you say "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" is beyond me. That saying refers to people who are criticising others about a certain something when in fact they are guilty of that certain something themselves, for example, if I was to say you were a fat bastard, then the saying would apply, seeing as I'm a prime bloater myself. However, when people are justifiably dubious about your claims, none of those people are making the same claims without proof. If you're going to use clever sayings to justify your posts, try and use the right ones.
If you're wondering why so many people join in on threads like these, it's because you are making yourself such an easy target. No-one here is being a c**t as you so succinctly put it. You make a claim that an air filter is giving your mates car an extra 30bhp. Anyone with a modicum of motoring knowledge knows that a claim like that is stretching the imagination a bit too much.
Of course, provide proof and evidence and no one will have a go. The facts would be irrefutable.
I said this to you once before and I'll say it to you again. Do yourself a favour and think before making wild claims about yours or any other car and it's alleged performance. Get proof, get evidence, get anything that you can ram down peoples throats the minute they start doubting you and then you can sit back, smug in the knowledge that you were right.
Otherwise, carry on posting like this, and it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
I'm sure you're a decent and honest enough lad, and I'm sure that your HGT will be your pride and joy. All I can say is finish the work, get it tested and get proof of what it can do and then turn up at a meet and then you will have every right to stick it to us where the sun don't shine.
