Difficulty Finding Specific How-To's - 5/16/2006 10:29:22 PM    94DXProject Posts: 164 Joined: 4/1/2006 Status: offline I've found lots of useful info here at HCF. But not all info is easy to find. While the info is in here somewhere, it's very difficult to find any given set of instructions complete with parts lists and suggestions for a specific project. I suggest having a section with strictly parts lists and How-To's all together...as opposed to scattered throughout the forums. Just off the top of my head, here are some examples of things I've looked for but either didn't find or couldn't find enough info on: -Engine swap tutorial (minime included) -parts needed -parts cost -average labor cost -Power steering install/removal -parts needed -parts cost -average labor cost -Turbo -how to part together a turbo -optional parts -recommended kits -what are the drawbacks of buying a cheap Ebay kit? Note: Those are just examples to give you all an idea how the section might be organized. I think it would make browsing through the forum much easier and I'm sure we would use search alot less. _____________________________ -GSR -LS trans -K&N SRI -Pacesetter steel catback -LS 4-disk conversion -Dropzone suspension -SI powerSteering -SI guage cluster -Custom cargo cover -15" Konigs Post #: 1

I just enlarged that part in case the reader was thinking "what's your point?". And yeah... I've been to the DIY section. That's kinda what gave me the idea. What I was thinking of is having something like DIY ...except categorized by 'type of car', then 'type of work'...and also following a specific format that makes it easy to skim through once you've seen it a few times. Eh...it's late. I might just be talking out my .... < Message edited by 94DXProject -- 5/16/2006 11:07:27 PM > _____________________________ -GSR -LS trans -K&N SRI -Pacesetter steel catback -LS 4-disk conversion -Dropzone suspension -SI powerSteering -SI guage cluster -Custom cargo cover -15" Konigs (in reply to mxs) Post #: 3

It DOES need new content though, so if you have some specific info in mind (that is already written up) tell me and I can move it there _____________________________ Driving takes 3 abilities: Accelerating+braking+turning.

I found it today and thought it was pretty cool. It's done on a 6th gen Civic. http://www.hondatuningmagazine.com/tech/0510ht_acura_integra_type_r_racecar/index.html Pete (in reply to mxs) Post #: 9

Shortly after this thread was posted, I managed to part together a power steering kit and had it installed. All is good! _____________________________ -GSR -LS trans -K&N SRI -Pacesetter steel catback -LS 4-disk conversion -Dropzone suspension -SI powerSteering -SI guage cluster -Custom cargo cover -15" Konigs (in reply to tonejunkie) Post #: 10
