Subject: MORE TOPIC CATEGORIES

The forum should have more topic categories.
(i.e. Suspension, Drivetrain, Engine, Wheels/Tires, Body, Interior, etc.)

Its a little difficult to find relating posts in the General Forums because theres so many different topics being posted.

I believe this has been suggested many times before, and once again I totally agree.

Steve, If you need help organizing topics I would be willing to help out.

I have been thinking about this a bit. The original idea was to keep al together to allow people to see what everyone is doing. Example: If you are looking for engine help, you won't look in the body section so you will loose what people are saying there.
But with the number of people posting we might separate, but still keep a limited number of forums

Engine and Drivetrain
Body and Interior
Brakes, Suspension and Steering
Electrical and Ignition

And we will also keep the General forum for items that do not fit the above categories.

I do not want to create specific m20 or s14 conversion forums. Those are all for the Engine section.

that way posts won't dissappear off the first page as quickly.

That sounds like a great idea. I always use the "view post since last visit" link to catch up on all topics that I may not always look at.
Are you going to migrate existing/archived threads to the new categories? Although it would be time-consuming, I think it would be beneficial.

Nope, no migration. It would really be time consuming to go throuhg 5000 topics in general and 42000 topics in archives :)
