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...

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.

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

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 **** 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
