Re: MTIs New Website! I remember when you guys used to have products for the LT1. What happened?......There are just as many LT1 owners as LS1 owners. Do you guys plan on bring back any LT1 packages or are you guys just through with us?. Not that you guys havent proven your selves but Im sure you can help us out too with your vast knowledge of both applications. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: MTIs New Website! Jayson, the Site looks Good. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> I would say more pics of the Orange 7-LITRE you guys build nice looking car <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> Good looking format.
May be a good photo of me <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" /> to draw the females to the site... J/J
<img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: MTIs New Website! I was just there this morning and I give it a big thumbsup! The layout is much more organized and professional looking. I also really like what you did with the engine section. All the dyno sheets and flowcharts can be clicked on to get bigger graphics!
I also noticed you guys lowered the prices on your cams! Woohoo!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: MTIs New Website! Great lay out, image map looks great and the color change of roll over buttons
the only thing i could think of for your site is thumb nails for the products, so you can click them to enlarge the product, the pics are kinda small, and this would not be too much work to do, but customers may like it
then maybe instructions... that could be alot of work
another thing to think about, is not having your pixels set a set amount, causing a scroll bar at the bottom and seeing 4/5 of the page,,, it all depends on the people resolution, you could have it set to fit their screen automaticly
but over all, its a good site, and you probally paid some one some good money for it, becuase theres alot of time effort into it, congrats

Re: MTIs New Website! </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Originally posted by MTI:
<strong>Check it out and let me know what you think!
</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The first thing I noticed was that you have right-clicks disabled. That's very annoying to me, because I like to right-click and select "open in new window".
Then I tried to look at the graphs of flow for different cylinder heads, and saw that the only way to see a bigger image is to left click on it. The problem is it disappears if you try to open another image, or when you click any other browser window. That makes it just about impossible to closely compare your flow numbers for stage 1 and stage 3 heads, for example, because I cannot get two big pictures next to each other.
I looked at the html to find the URL of each picture, and saved them so I could open them all at the same time in an image viewer, and noticed that the Y-axis is different on each one, so you cannot tell the difference in flow very easily. I assume that's accidental and not a deliberate effort to prevent people from understanding your data. It'd be trivial to enter points off the graphs into excel, and then produce a single plot of all the data, but I'm not going to waste my time.
If you want to know which images I am talking about, it's these:

I'm curious, did someone who works for MTI make the site, or did you hire a company? If it was someone else that decided to implement all this javascript nonsense, maybe you could tell them to knock it off. If MTI themselves decided to, I guess all I can say is that I don't want to "steal" your images, and that the *only* reason I'd look at them at all is to decide if I want to buy something from MTI. When you make it hard for me to view them the way I want to, it makes me want to shop elsewhere.
Other than that, the site looks nice.
