Yearbook for boosted Maximas??
what do you guys think? have a stickie on all Maxima with force induction. We can have a picture of our cars, some info on set-up, 1/4 and dyno. Not only to make this as our little showcase, but a brief overview on everybody's car. It might be better for people who's doing research on this subject.

You know something like that where we can at least talk to our peers when we have the same setup and might have questions/issues/concerns. This would be very helpful to the boosted community and the people who are thinking/wanting to go this route.

We did something similar in the DC local forum. One person asked everyone to email/PM/post on this thread and a directory of that was created.
But it comes down to WHO wants to be the one to take this responsibility. It is nothing to be taken lightly cause believe me the emails/PMs/posts will be flooding in initially and making sure it is all in order is alot of work.

All it takes is a lowlife to recognize a car he saw on the net with its parts list...seen this on a rx7 forum.

But I do agree with you. But then again some truly do like to just stay in the closet as complete sleepers. Which is fine with me. Thats their perrogative. I dont look down on it.
I guess this applies to those who want to be known and willing to be open about it.

keep it simple, quick and clean is my vote - and i think you'll get many more of the lurkers..
heck add a "homepage" place for people who want to show pics and more info..

seems like we have to figure out a few things
1.format - is it going to be in a thread? or another sub-forum like the dyno, 1/4 forms? or having a link on the front page of maxima.org
and link it to a separate page?
2.information - how much is enough? I know turbo guys probably want to keep it low. Of course you dont have to post a picture of your engine bay. It can be a picture of your car, your intercooler, your gauges, or something that symbolize you/your car. A brief description will be fine. I dont think we have to tell people where we live or what's our favorite sushi. something short and simple. like Dixit's example.
or we just use thumbnail pictures of vortech, turbonetics, NOS, ZEX, etc. to indicate whay kind of boost you have.
3.Receiving and verifying the information. In this case, we need a contact person(s)....hmmm...I know it will be a lot work for this person. In additon to gathering all info, you have to verify too. I am thinking about having an open thread for people to post and then a stickie moderated by the moderators as the year book. Moderators can help us verify and update information to the yearbook. Will this be alot of work for the moderators??? (we have 6 in the force induction forum)
Kevin - do you think we can have a link on the maxima.org front page for this boosted maxima yearbook?

If you can come up with one, we can put the "special" on the homepage for a while... maybe even permanently in Shoptalk.

mine's overboost then...35psi.will some moderators support me on this project? With people come in and out and leave their info...some maybe give false info. I bet it will be quite easy to spot (i.e. I modify the stillen SC to fit into my 2k2) Since moderators have experience in this area, will moderators help me verify applications?

measurements were taken by a 2k2 guy who wanted a blower like my under his hood. Would not fit not enough space on the side of the engine bay and the hood would not close
