I like it too, but don't forget to have separate sections, suspension, exhaust, engine etc..., that way if someone is doing a certain project they can just click on the closest instead of having to weed through everything.

dIY videos are the way to go IMO. I think so people getting confused when its comes to interpreting other peoples words in threads. It does sound like a great project, run with it man and keep us informed.

I'll take a video of doing an oil change when I can.

My short term future modifications include changing out the headlight bulbs, parking light bulbs, and fog light bulbs. I'll try to make a vid of that too.

Don't wanna come across wrong, but not sure how much better a different site would be from these.
A site, such a wiki-type site, would be significantly more useful, easier to use, and could contain more information than the forums.

It could also have a significantly better layout for the information displayed and be inter-linked much like a Wiki.


I think it's a great idea.
