Here is a list of changes I have come up with in an effort to improve the flow of this forum and make it easier to find specifically what you are looking for.


-Move Newbie and FAQ sections to top so there is no excuse for not seing them.
-Expand Motorsports to include subsections for Drag, Raod Race/Autox, and Drifting
-Add "How To and tech articles" section
-Rename Vendor Review to Vendor, Parts, and Service Reviews. Merge in the "Parts Review" section
-Rename Members Rides Gallery to Show and Shine. This will be section for all showing off of pictures as well as discussions on making your car look its best for said pictures. We will be adding a member rides gallery feature to the site seperate of the forums.
-Expand the internation regional section to include asia and others
-Make regional section listings as subsections so they take up less room on the main index.
-Rename Classifieds to Marketplace.
-Break down Private and Vnedor classifieds into specifics such as wheel/tire, suspension, exterior, engine, etc
-Add vendor forums. These are individual forums for highly active and invloved vendors with lots to discuss.
-Split "suspension/brakes/wheels/tires" into "Suspension, Chassis, and Brakes" and "Wheels and Tires"
- Add RB, SR, and CA subsections to the Tech section
-Change Aftermarket turbo to KA-T section
-For NA section, include SR20DE in description
-Add engine managment tech section with subsections for Rom tuning, AEM, megasquirt, etc



These are a lot of changes and we do not have to do all, But I feel these are benificial to the future and expansion of this forum. Let me know what you guys think

All suggestions sound good. A few more suggestions, for the engine section, there are other swaps that you may want to take into account, whether it be the more common CA18DET, or the more obscure LSx and 2JZ swaps. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of forums, but if they are needed then they are needed, I just don't want to discriminate on other things that are being done to these cars, especially with the more obscure swaps becoming more commonplace.

could you just call them extream hybrid swaps LOL to kinda classify them all

CharlesJ

I forgot CA...will need to add that.

As for the wacky swaps, they can go into a general swap section

all of the updates you posted look great. a lot of them ive been wanting for a while, others i havent even thought of but look great. good job!

Another idea is adding an advanced section for all the elitists out there. There are two ways to run this section. One is that anyone can post, but it will be heavily moderated, the second is haveing a vote in to be allowed to post in that area by thepeople that are already in. Either way, anyone could read it

If we go with the second way, more industry people, pro drivers, pro builders, and so on would join and post, but it is seriously elitist

motegineon

yea thatd be pretty sweet

the title "faq" seems inappropriate. most of the posts in there are how tos and other useful links but not something that i would consider a faq.

that's just me though.

CharlesJ

The " how to" section would be added with posts moved there. The FAQ/newbie section would have far fewer stickies with all the important newbie info
