Can the FAQ section contain some, I don't know, Frequently Asked Questions maybe?
 

After reading the latest iteration of the Premium Fuel question, I'm wondering if the board admins could post a thread to the FAQ about it?

I know there's not a clear answer right now, but maybe if there was a single thread that people who are new here could find they wouldn't keep re-asking the same question over and over again.

I think the current FAQ was fine for a year ago before anyone had an RX8 but people have them now, so they have different questions.

Perhaps a group of threads in the FAQ section, where people could post their info (and hopefully some answers) :

1 - Do I have to use 91 Octane Fuel?
2 - How can I connect an external (RCA) audio source to the factory stereo?
3 - What are the option differences between Canada and the USA and Europe and Japan and Australia?
4 - What size tires can I put on those rims? 225/45R18 has almost no options!
5 - How much better mileage will the lightning yellow get compared to the nordic green?

OK, maybe that last one goes a bit overboard, I just would like to see FAQs in the FAQ section :)

(I'll willingly volunteer to moderate the FAQ section and put links up to threads where the items are discussed if that would make it easier to handle :)

you know, that FAQs section should be expanded in a BIG way. I agree that it served its purpose a year ago when no one had the car, but a year later we now have questions that get frequently asked that would be perfect for that section.

Also, I think it should move to the top of the page rather than in the middle. New members are more likely to see it there than buried in the middle of the page.

RIGHT ON!

Fight the power!

:)

I'm still really disappointed that none of the people who manage this board have responded to my suggestion, even if it was just to tell me to go away :)

That's probably because everyone knows it needs an update. The problem is finding the time/help. People have volunteered before, and then never done anything about it.

Well, I've volunteered now but I can't do anything about it without write permission :)

I don't have enough messages posted to have earned any level of trust, so I don't expect anyone to hand me the keys just because I said so, but it's still disappointing that nobody 'senior' posted to this thread until you did :)

Take a copy of the text of the existing FAQ, dump it into your local word processor, and have at it. If you get it updated, we can certainly arrange to post the replacement! PM me if you really want to tackle this, and I will be happy to work with you.

I've been editing the FAQ and have a lot done (should be able to finish it up this weekend)

I have a question though : I've been doing it in HTML. Is that OK? I'm not sure how much HTML the board will let me use (I'm using lists and paragraphs, mostly)

Excellent! But best to do it in plain text.. the forums use VB code. Contact me via PM for an email you can send it to.

To address suggested FAQ #5:

Colour Truly matters

Lightning Yellow is indeed more econimcal than Nordic Green.


The speed of light (while driving) c =
wavelength times (x) frequency =
speed (velocity, v)in other material x its "index of refraction" (N)=
370 nm / 1.234 fs (violet) = 740 nm/ 2.468 fs (lightning yellow)

where nm=nanometers= 0.000 000 001 meter
and fs= femtoseconds= 0.000 000 000 000 001 second

E=hf=mc^2 and momentum (mc)

light pressure equals the difference in energy/volume of the layers of light.
...
.....
.
Therefore Lightening Yellow gets better Mileage Than Nordic Green.


and my Dad said this math stuff was only good for digging holes : )

What if the sun is behind you?

yeah, if the sun is behind you the darker colour is able to absorb more energy and thus provide greater acceleration.

yeah.

that's the ticket.
