3 posts?
come on!

we need more how-to's!!

SHOW US HOW IT'S DONE!

Yea .. no one's posted in here in a looooooooong time.

I have a few how-tos that I've written, but I know that at least one of them was "lost" from an unmentionable web site yesterday. Funny how things disappear like that from a database...

Post some stuff up guys, I'll double-check it afterward for grammar - I do publish a print magazine after-all :)

i wanted to do a 'how-to' on lowering your 3 with springs...
but i didnt have my camera on me.....
i mite try to do it tomorow, cuz i have to take my front strut apart cuz i damaged the strut brace dealie when pulling the shock out....

I'm gonna do one on how-to change all 4 brake pads on the P5 here soon. It seems to be a popular request and just about everyone needs to get those changed sooner or later.

I could provide full text for the brake change job from memory.. I just did it again a few weeks ago myself. I did pads, rotors, brake lines, and fluid all at the same time. I didn't take pictures of the process though.

great, lets get to work

PLEASE do that cause I tried installing springs on my 3 and FAILED!:tear:

i don't think is a good idea to have tech articles together with how-to's
and the how-to's section should be restricted as to not get it filled with uselss posts.
also, a subforum for the how-to's sections called REQUESTS, of how-to's not in the database...


maybe i'm a newbe and nobody really cares....just a thought

A requests subforum is a good idea! I haven't seen that anywhere before. If people don't mind not having pictures for some of them (though I have thousands of pics of my car.. I can find applicable ones I'm sure), I can write a bunch of how-tos.. at 83k miles, I've done a lot of general maintenance, and of course an excessive amount of mods :P

Dude ... that's an awesome idea. You might be "new" here but you're far from a n00b. Your ideas rock!!

I'll take pics over the weekend if you wanna do the writing. Sound good?

yeah no problem. I do technical writing a LOT at work (IT stuff) so it's fun :)

i think we should do a how-to anyways, perhaps next time when someone actually tries the how-to. he'll take pictures and could share them with us.

i know alot of shit too, little stuff like changing a oilpump, and water pump....simple stuff that people pass for granted but for some other could save them a buck or two.

i used to write alot of how-tos on msprotege, maybe i can copy all of them and just post them here for all to see

it could be a start
