24v section needs sub sections...

[Axxe]

Or a sticky linking to individual posts within the 24v mega thread. I've seen it on other boards as sort of a FAQ on a common swap.

I like the idea but if im looking for something, I always know that the search is just a click away. Just remember mods that this will increase the "thread moved" ratio up a bit from here on out.

Ugh. This is a terrible idea. People who can't search should die in a fire. Sorting this section in that way would just make it more annoying to follow.

A useful thread link sticky will be WAY more useful than subsections.

I'm going to start working on this, probably tonight. So what subforums do we want it to have?

I'm actually considering splitting the 24V section into its own forum under Technical, since it's pretty much known across the E30 scene that R3V has the most comprehensive 24V swap section on the web.

This is my idea thus far:

24V DOHC Engine Swaps:
- Wiring/Electrical - check
- Cooling - check
- Transmission/Driveline - check
- Braking - check
- Exhaust - check
- General Technical - check

S54 swap is SO different it that that information should be kept seperate of the other 24v info IMO.

Sam you stop with that future shenanigans....

OBD2 section as well

[Vtec?lol]

So what subforums do we want it to have?


24V DOHC Engine Swaps:
- Wiring/Electrical
- Cooling
- Transmission/Driveline
- Braking
- Exhaust
- General Technical
- Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting does belong or there could be stickys.

This is a terrifyingly daunting task tho, there are over 250 threads in the 24V forum. Moving and separating them all is going to take forever.

I figured it would take a while. If you need a hand I'm willing to help.

you can doo eeet!

A sticky with links would be a great temporary fix but would take just as much time to compose.

I see what you did there -.-

People can barely post in the right section as it is...I agree with nrubenstein. There's absolutely no reason for subforums.

A few more stickys with relevant threads would help keep pertinent info, but IMO there is no reason for subforums in the 24v forum.

Plus, good luck organizing the existing threads into new subforums. A simple search of "ix brake booster" or "e28 motor mount" or "aux fan"...etc will get you what you need.

I agree we should have sub sections, it's a huge pita to find a small bit of information in a hurry with the current layout of the 24v section

[Vtec?lol]

Stickies are fine and all but....

Subsections would clean up the forum a bit. It would look way better than 10 stickies at the top of every page.

and it would give members more of a reason to flame.

-Subsection
and stickies per section.
That's all win right there baby.

Disagree. Forum search functions are great and all but still do not work all that great. Search for something about 24V swap and you are linked to a ton of threads. Most having nothing to do with what you searched for.

Agreed 100%, spent a TON of time in this section searching for info on parts needed and tips. Mostly cooling info, so a sub section would be outstanding. But the search function did work out fine for me, so I am not really too worried on the outcome.

[iwantspeed]

i vote for sub sections

24V DOHC Engine Swaps:
- Wiring/Electrical/obd 2-1 conversion
- Cooling
- Transmission/Driveline
- Braking
- Exhaust
- General Technical
- passing bar and referee
- Troubleshooting
