Suggestion Box

[GTO Pete]

This is the area to provide suggestions for How-tos and ways to improve the following forums:
- General Mods
- Transaxle
- Suspension
- Brakes
- Wheels & Tires
- Audio/Video
- Aesthetics
- Car Care

- If you would like to do a How-to, please post here w/ what How-to you will be doing. Try to include what tools are needed/used, what should be purchased (parts, liquids, etc.), time needed, etc.


- Suggestions for new How-tos or improvements to existing ones are welcome.


Please note that this is not the area to discuss Mods - please, start your own thread!

If a reply is made that is not a suggestion (or an agreement of suggestion) it will be deleted.

Whoever's got a mesh grill how-to should post it; IIRC that's one of the most requested how-to's.

I have that one PDF archived (as well as MOST ALL how-tos) at home.. I will upload it tonight, man! thanks.

[Tourige]

I made like 3 or 4 how-to's on the old forum, are you guys going to transfer them over?

[Ray]

The process of moving ALL how-tos is in the works.. No worries there! For now, the link is there to redirect to the old forum. Eventually, they'll all be in this one.

A Suggestion

I'd like to suggest separate forums for the ATX vs MTX drivetrains.

Each has its own set of common problems and it would be easier for members to find relevent information without having to sort through all the stuff for the other transaxle system.

I dont think enough people post in each forum to warrent having different ones. Its not that hard to say ATX or MTX.

has to do with state law I believe, most say that you can't have more then 2 pairs of forward facing lights on at one time ... if the fog worked that way stock that would be three pairs on with the highs on ... for the mod take the signal wire for the relay and connect to the constant power source to the relay ...

Open Headlights

Can Someone Make A How-to Bake Your Headlights. Not Quite Sure What Temperature To Headlights At (not Trying To Burn The Apt Up) And What To Use To Reseal Them. Thanks

Chilton Repair Manual

I was at my local pepboys earlier today and I saw a cd that covers the 98-99 contour, mystique, and c svt. I'm not sure why 2000 wouldn't be covered but I assume its the same. Just a suggestion I don't know how usefull it will be considering its not a haynes book, but I saw if you got an SVT, pick one up.

That info is still on the ceg home page, click the mods/parts and then the how to section. It's all still there, I just read it.
