    maybe something on repsraying the car, or something giving some info on that.

    maybe a howto on engine swaps, or at least some decent amount of detailing of what goes into a b16a and b20a swap, the faqs just dont provide enough detail. There are other things to take into consideration such as what happens with the sensors, wiring, vacuum controls, etc.

    a howto on wiring your car for a sound system, this would be useful for people who wouldn't have done it themselves but want to do it themselves and dont have a clue.

    how to remove the camshaft (i could be wrong, is it this already up?)

    how to remove the front and rear bumpers

    how to install underbody neons and wire them

    how to remove / fix / or whatever the electric antenna

    how to install an electronic immobiliser

    how to install a remote starter for carbs and efi

    the electric antenna is a good idea ! while already doesn't work at my car so i can tear it up as i want !

    camshafts > difficult ! ( i won't tear my engine not right now )
    underbody neons > don't have them around here !
    front and rear bumpers ! > i belive that if i will remove mine they will never bolt on again !!

    what about the first one do you mean spraying the car ?

    Something about tips and ideas when doing your own repsray, and what's required when doing it,
    ie primers, paints and all that.

    You should get other people to make/post how-to's for other things, that way we can have a nice phat d/base of it.

    I had this idea but no one went for it, of putting together a decent meaty document of howto's, faq information, engine work, like an online book on accords. Some sort of collaborative project and actually publishing it. Possibly using the money to help fund our 3gee cause and get some attention...

    the book could also be full of the how to's, but photo's of cars, examples of work.

    May be a good way to get us some REALLLY grand attention.

    Actually it Just remembered, a GOOD howto on adjusting timing and the Idle.

    See timing, the haynes manual has a lousy and messed up description on adjusting timing, part of it is on one page and more details are on another.

    Also how to adjust the timing to correct spec (ie what is CORRECT spec) and how to adjust it to suck a bit more performance.

    Next is a how to on adjusting the EFI idle. And whether or not to disconnect vacuum lines, etc.

    Those two are really needed.

    Also some pics with te valve adjustment ones....
