I need a forum with tips on finding what I want using the search function!! I searched for over a half hour yesterday for info on removing the traction control from a 1996 TA a4/4 channel car I recently bought and all I could find was info on deleting the whole system or on relocating it on LS1 cars. I needed to know if/how I could remove the part (ASR module) that sits on top of the engine while keeping ABS functional for when the kids drive it. Spartan posted up a link within 10 minutes with all the info I needed. Often when I search, I either find alot of unrelated info......or alot of threads where something I search is only mentioned in a list of mods.....or other randomness.
It has gotten to the point where I enjoy reading others' posts and helping out where I can, but I hate to ask anything because of all the people who are so quick to point out that it has already been covered. I do think it stinks that we still get so many questions that are already asked/answered within the last 2 days.....or are already answered in the sticky section.

what we need are more write ups to the most commonly asked questions. Headers, air, egr delete. EWP install, throttle body bypass...ect. Will this stop all the repeat question? No it won't, but then we can get the mods to start locking threads and (try) keep contained to the write ups.

Shoebox has a boatload of writeups, but they are not really linked to this site. All we really need is 1 good thread full of JUST writeups, nobody writing "thanks" and "awesome" and taking up space, just
HOW TO INSTALL LONG TUBES
HOW TO REPLACE OPTI
HOW TO TRAP DOOR METHOD FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT
HOW TO DELETE AIR/EGR AND BLOCK OFF EMISSION PORTS
etc etc
Or we need more people to go to LTxtech

There is already a sticky for writeups, he was talking about a "hardcore" or "advanced" section for lt1/4 cars.
I don't think the user base is here on this site, but I wouldn't mind having that section. I could probably count the builds of active members that I would consider hardcore on my fingers.

CZ28.com had an active one for a while in the early and mid 2000's, however it started getting overrun with basic tech questions. Mods there started expressing their frustration at having to endlessly move basic tech question posts to the point of wanting to disable the forum. It's still there, but is still quite overrun with basic questions and is almost dormant.
