So I was thinking today, as I'm sure a lot of you have thought at some point or another, we get a LOT of repetitive questions around here. What gears should I run? Is this TB too big? What happens if I remove my quad shocks? Bla, bla, bla.
SO then it dawned on me... Why don't we have a sticky that is dedicated to these really common questions? We could call it... Wait for it... "THE REALLY COMMON QUESTIONS STICKY".
It would be structured like the "Sticky of Stickies", in which there would be one main thread, but it would contain links to individual threads that are each dedicated to a certain "common question" topic.
Not only would this be useful, and we could blast n00bs who ask these questions without looking in there first, but I think it would also be fun to develop some of the individual "common questions" threads. We could even include links to some threads that already exist, such as the 4 to 5 lug conversion thread in Tech that seems to get ignored so frequently. I think for this to really work, the individual threads should either be created from scratch or only re-used if they SPECIFICALLY cover the certain topic. In other words, we should avoid linking to threads that maybe started as asking a few different questions and then eventually narrowed down to one topic. In that event, we should just create a new thread that specifically covers the question at hand and nothing else.
With that said, here are a few common questions that I think need covered:
TB/EGR size
MAF size
Determining existing gear ratio/ deciding on a gear ratio
T5 strength
Block strength
Rear end strength
Brake swap and 4-5 lug conversion
HP vs Injector size/matching with MAF meter
Wheel/tire width
GT40 intake differences
GT40 head types/swap needs
Etc, etc. Lets hear some other ideas for common questions!
Mods, is this something we can do, or am I asking too much? is it a redundant effort? Should we just keep hitting n00bs with the :search: ?
