As I was perusing the 5th Generation Board, I saw the stickies they have and I thought it would be a good idea for the 3rd Gen Board. I suggessted a few topics (e.g. VG30DE Fuel Rails, BMW Headlight Conversions) but I want to know what you guys would like to appear as stickies here.

 

VTCs, and BMW lights definently. I also suggest something about Tune-Ups, and I like the TSB idea too, it would solve a lot of questions some guys have when things go wrong with their cars.(plus I have 'em bookmarked for our Gens), the mods/parts list is a great idea also, BUT it would take a while to fully develop and make sure everything is right.....great idea though Prinz.

 

quit with all the damn turbo engine swaps and dumba$$ turbo and supercharger ideas.

 

I think a FAQ with the questiosn that are asked every hour:

bulb sizes
clear corners
bmw
mods list (i agree it'd take a while to develop)
places to buy mods
the wiring harness (info about NOT putting in overwattage bulbs)
bose
window regulators
the 'sticking' antenna

 

we need to have a better FAQ for this stuff. NO STICKIES!!!!!!!!!!

 

pardon my ignorance, but what in the world is a stickie?

 

5th Gen forum

 

if this idea ever gets on the road, here are my submissions..... a lot of this stuff will be for the more "technical" guys, but none the less, if a "newbie" comes on asking the usual questions about turbos, etc. you can direct him to these........

just some stuff that I found helpful myself

 

so heres some ideas for a mods/part list, theres probably plenty more to add, but heres something for starters I guess... anything not filled in means I don't know the brand or price.

How about a stickie that says: Read the FAQ, and search.

 

speaker size!! its always being asked!

 

That's a good idea for Audio/Electronics.

http://www.annulardesign.com/maxima/faq/

http://www.annulardesign.com/maxima/faq/

 

I put that togehter in like 10 minutes, I can work out the kinks too. I want it to be easier to use, right now it sucks. and im gonna steal those articles so if the links go down we'll still have it.
