How to section?

MR2SW22 · 12-04-2008, 01:29 PM

I was wonder, now that i have all the time in the world, if the mr2 forum should make what it think would be a great asset for new/old members, A section called "How to" and basically all it would be would be a forum of pics and detailed instructions for "how i put a new turbo on my 2", or "how i installed a sparco racing seat." it would be a forum of nothing but write ups, that we could all refer to when upgrading/maintaining our 2's.

Thoughts? suggestions? wana throw a rock at my head?

It's a good idea, but I think it'll be hard to find all the threads and put em' in the same place.

If you mean start a new with new threads for the How to, we should gather up a group of recognized mechanics that will be willing to write the How-to's on different subjects.

I would love a picture by picture how to drop the engine. I found one on another site but it still has things left out.

Make sure you list everything. It's that little stuff that makes me fxck everything up. Well not really, i haven't really effed anything up, I came close though to unscrewing the AFM clip once, til' I read on ANOTHER thread "DON"T DO IT!!!"

MR2SW22 · 12-06-2008, 09:53 PM
