so i have some free time on my hands and i have to complete a project when school starts so im thinking about putting up a site dedicated to rx8 diy's what do you guys thing? and and ideas and suggestions would be helpful ...

 

You mean something like this?
https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/

Or this?
https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-section-category-alphabetically-101998/

Don't wanna come across wrong, but not sure how much better a different site would be from these.

 

Yeah what he said.

But DIY videos would be reallly cool!

 

i will prolly use the diys on this site and perform em on my car and record videos take pics and do step by steps also maybe listed descriptions of everything needed etc ...

you dont come across wrong i was just thinking about it coz i need to do a project for school and thought it would be cool for members on here too ....

 

yeah videos is more what i was thinking i know someone has done a few buy not nearly as many as we could do ... just a thought if you guys think it wont be worth it ill search for sth else to do ... maybe on the camaro forums coz they dont have many diys or have em organized at all ...

 

sounds like a fun project.
if you do it, make sure you put up a thread in our DIY section with links to your site.

 

have you seen my DIY? more than half the video would be me poundin that 40 and like a 1/4 of it would be installin the coils...

 

Do a DIY for your DIY site too!

I think it is a great idea to have a site where you can host the pictures, half of the pics in the diys get lost after imageshack/whatever takes them down.

 

i surely will ...

i already have videos for springs brakes bumper removal (someone else has this too) dash removal although i have my videos with my aftermarket nav already in changing seats headlights and a few more ... juss need to rip to my computer

yeah and ill host the pics too

about posting a link you think the mods will have a problem with me doing that?

 

videos would be good.....

 

LOL i am actually about to install my coils soon. i dont know how it would turn out maybe ill try it in secret and if it works well ill post links on here

 

i will love you forever if you did this, i had this on my mind for many months now

 

^....

 

you could make a tool on the website that paints my rims for free from the computer, thatd be a neat website. Also a multimedia section and i think an rx8 chat room that actually worked on the page would be cool because all of the ones posted are fail

 

i might be able to make that happen!

 

I would also like to contribute as much 09 stuff that is different as possible. I plan to take a lot of pics and make a DIY oil change topic oh so soon.

 

go right ahead! if you email me the pics and details ill create a section for 09s im looking to start this project by next month so anyone willing to pitch in will be great!

 

A video for all those DIY would be cool!

 

oh anyone in the houston area that wants their stock rims to be painted black ill do em as long as you provide the paint so i can record it and get it on the site

 

^ Come down to cali and you got a deal!

 

I would prefer a separate site, where everything is a lot more accessible. For example, each DIY could be an article format, and comments can be done like how most article reply systems are. That alone would help clean up a lot of DIYs.

Also, having the ability to manipulate the webpage (move around pictures, add videos in the appropriate sections, etc) would assist in the flow of the DIY. Sometimes I get so confused when people post multiple parts of the DIY in one post, or if they don't separate it correctly.

I also think that having an article format, where a mod or someone could look through each DIY and see if it's been done before, correct parts that are wrong, and integrate new with old would be great. I'd definitely contribute to this sort of site, as I haven't done much modifications with my car, but will soon (oil change in about 2 weeks!).

I would definitely support a DIY site if you were to do one, rodjonathon.

 

looks like it will be a good idea ... im waiting on the go ahead from my prof and should start in within a week

 

My blog has helped ALLOT of people.

Not everyone knows about this forum. I get loads of search engine traffic for all types of terms.

I dont make money on my blog but I enjoy working on it and when I sell my car the new owner will have a full history.

 

Do it and link us all to it

On an entirely unrelated note, I clicked this thread because I was having a moment where my eyes werent working right for some reason, and I thought the title was "Thinking about putting up a dirty site". If you get the urge, that could be cool too.

 

I totally agree. I checked out your blog the other day. It's really clear and well layed out. Is the design your own?
