FAQ ideas

With the insane amount of info posted here on a daily basis it is sometimes hard to keep up with it, so if you see a thread that has good info please inform me or any of the staff so we can make sure it ends up in our FAQ page. You could even use the "Report Post" function if you want to, just specify that the thread is FAQ material. BTW if you haven't checked out the FAQ you're missing a lot of good info.

Re: FAQ ideas

Krue, I have looked and did not see it or I might have missed it, but How about a Thread in the FAQ section just about wheels and tires?

I belong to another forum where they have a section jsut for that. Reason being is that one of the most popular question in this site is about wheels and tires...

*Brand of wheel
*Tire Size
*Backspace
*PLace where bought from
*Price

Jus throwing an idea out there,,,only because that question is asked so many times.

thks
Albert

Re: FAQ ideas

I believe that Krue is actually asking for links to existing posts, but no one is going to object to a "new" article written for this propose.

Re: FAQ ideas

Re: FAQ ideas

How about some REAL info on Searching. Like syntax things: and or , + -
I've tried a number of combinations & seem to always get the same results.

Thanks for any help.

Re: FAQ ideas

Listings of junkyard that tend to have parts we need....one thread is started already for this, another link inside goes to only NC junkyards. Good ideas for threads, it might be something worthy to have its own permanent link:
