Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting A suggestion for a new Classification: Newbie Questions

I would like to see a DIY section or a TECH section.

Something that refers back to the HOW TO section, and also incorporates a FAQ that we could ALL contribute to.
Something that covers the basics...

Maintenance Items
Spark Plugs
Ignition Wires
Filters
Wipers
Bulbs
etc.

Service Items
Belts
Brakes
Throttle Body
Intake Manifold
Alternator
Transmission
etc.

We can also post our own REVIEWS of products we have tried and what does and doesn't work well on our cars.
e.g. The many different types and brands of spark plugs. Write a review and tell what you are using and why. What you tried, and what didn't you like about them.
Possibly put some polls together so as people go through the DIY/Tech section, they can vote for what they are currently using. Then we can see what are the most popular replacement parts.

Place it at the TOP of the list of Forums, where it can't be missed, and it should also be referenced as a starting point, somewhere along the way, following the registration process.

Once this has been accomplished, THEN we can have a warning on the posting page that reads something like...

"In the interest of our users, we ask that you only post new subjects, after you have checked with our DIY/Tech and FAQ sections.
If a suitable answer cannot be found, or your post does not relate any subjects found, then by all means continue !"

It can also be paraphrased to say... this helps to reduce the cost of maintaining this site, by keeping our forums in an organized fashion.
