Default New Sticky

what about one of you guys making a sticky on regular maintenance. such as when to change spark plugs, fluids, etc. i think that would help everyone out quite a bit...

nice idea but i dont think it would work because everybody runs there car different. would you follow the maintance scheduel of a hardcore racer who sprays a 300 DP shot and is at the track every weekend, or the guy who only drives his car 5k miles a year, or the guy that does 40k a year, or the guy who does autocross and OTR? you should taylor your schedual around your driving habbits.

yeah i guess you are right...i was just thinking a general one for the 50+% of the people who just drive normal (daily driving w/occasional "spirited" driving)...i mean most people that autox or are hardcore drag know there stuff anyhow...ya know what i mean...i was thinking basically for the newbies who just want to know some general guidelines...i've just seen a lot of "when do i change this..." threads...
