Lightbulb -=DIY=- Topic

Hello Fellow Rotorheads....

Recently I've noticed that in the Tech forum, all the DIY Threads lost there sticky status. I would like to see those DIY projects have there own topic. Alot of people put alot of time into those and there really helpfull!! Personaly Ive done all of them :D What do you guys think?

I agree, and it should include all threads with specific instructions like removing the door panel, removing the HU, Installing light bulbs, etc, etc
It will be a one stop resource for interested DIYers

Do you mean 'topic' or 'forum section'? I'd vote for forum section, or even better an archive or Garage section where the tips and articles are cleaned up and posted as articles rather than threads. www.miata.net Garage section is a great example of how this could be done, and it's a very successful reference that is kept up to date. This site really needs something like that.

Regards,
Gordon

Agreed. I think we need more forum sections in general. With so many threads here, Search is becoming less and less useful. You may get 100's of hit on a search term, so you still have to browse through the results on the hope of finding what you want. if we offer more forum sections on specific topics (gas mileage, DIY, repairs, power/torque enhancement, etc) then all you have to do is go to that section and browse. It's really becoming unmanageable as is.

And that's what is currently being considered for this forum.
