yes and no...there isn't much action in the interior/electronics forum...so good idea...not horribly useful in our present situation
if we are going to divide it up lets think of the best way to approach this
should we split them up into sub forums...or...make them their own forums
like
interior
and
electronics
that way you'd seperate the electronics from the exterior forum

I think there are plenty of carpc forums out there already. Since the 8 is like every other car as far as setup goes I think it would be pointless. This is coming from someone who has a carpc. Just my opinion.

Well, I don't really like sifting through random iPod and subwoofers to get to the NAV. Half of the posts are about the NAV or custom carputer.
However, there isn't a whole lot of activity in general in that sub-forum after I took a second look. I suppose a search would do what I want.
Is it really hard to make another sub-forum? If it is not super expensive or time consuming then it would be worth it.

Currently, it seems as if All the threads in the interior forum are all electronics oriented...

I dont mind accepting that this may not be a great idea, but at least tell me so.

Same, it would be really nice, even though carputers is just a general topic... I really believe this will only continue to grow, especially since Rotary Rasp has one of the best setups and happens to be a RX-8 owner. I bet he recieves plenty of great Private Messages that should be shared with all.
. want to see what everybody else comes up with

Sounds like a good enough idea since it would make keeping relevant threaded discussions "at the top" and make it easier to search. Although I am not sure audio needs to be part of it. Seperating "stereo" and "carpc" areas since the carpc only connects to the factory (or modded) stereo system.

I don't see nearly enough carputer threads to justify making an entire section devoted to just it. People had asked for a separate subforum to be devoted to UOA's (used oil analysis) in the tech section too but there is only 1 thread about them. At this time it is not an idea that we will entertain. In the future if the number of threads increases to the point that they dominate the audio forum, we may entertain the idea. This assumes that many of them aren't repetitive and can't be combined into fewer threads so please don't go starting tons of threads on the subject to make it look like there are more than there really are.

I honestly think that if the mods don't want it to happen, it's not going to happen, reguardless of what the members want.
