This is a general discussion forum, open to all participants

Should we include guides for beginners and basics? Or assume medium-advanced mechanical knowledge?

Include it all; any information is good information.

Technical tutorials - Beginner or Advanced Stuff?

Postby XRated » July 13th, 2007, 6:11 pm

I'm just wondering what you guys reckon in regards to what sort of tech guides/tutorials should be included. Do you think it should be limited to medium to advanced sort of stuff? I would assume those with a 'boosted' E-Series or an already strong interest probably don't need to know basics, whereas other forums it might be very beneficial to include basic info and guides... What do you reckon?

There's a poll for the hell of it :D I hope it shows who votes haha

Anything goes, just ban **** who ask if AU wheels fit or how to lower their slapper 50 million times when we know full well they couldn't afford a cutting disc let alone a set of springs.

I've got a spare computer fan, crocodile clips and a crucible. Will they do?

Anyone who has a guide to anything (BTW) - just upload and link. Assumption is the mother of all **** up's. If we start to assume the knowledge of members then we'll go down the tube. It's easier to allow everything to be posted and give anyone who posts stupid stuff stick for being a dipshit... nah kidding.

It's all welcome!

Hi im BamZ, just signed up to these forums and thought id put my 2 cents in....

I have a 1990 EA S-Pack Falcon and a 1994 ED XR6 Tickford Wagon.
I know a little bit with engines but when it comes to wiring/suspension/transmission etc I've got absoulutly no idea.
I've just started my pre-app in Automotive so it would be really good for both beginner and advanced stuff...and yea i might make a d*ck of myself and ask a few stupid questions but usually i only ask noob questions after ive searched through books and the net and havent found anything useful. :roll:
