The Simo & Scott Challenge!

[Simo]

What's that all about you may be thinking??</font>

Well, to make things interesting, Scott doesn't even know yet! smileys/smiley17.gif

So, the challenge for myself and Scott, is to write the equivalent of one FAQ article per day, for the next ten days... each! (so thats 20 articles in total!!)

Are we man enough for the job?? Well, we may soon find out! LMBO! © sax-p

It's about time myself and Scott found some time to devote a ridiculous amount of effort to something, which we both find interesting AND is for the good of the community. And it's also good practice for the v4 coding sessions smileys/smiley17.gif

We're both tech-heads and know a thing or two (even if I do say so myself), so lets get these thoughts down on paper!

In order for this challenge to go ahead, there is also a challenge for the rest of the community... and that's to dream up a list of FAQ articles to wet our appetites!

If you dont do your bit... we wont do ours smileys/smiley17.gif

What say yee?

[al_VTR]

get your hardcore hats out guys - sure you can do it then smileys/smiley17.gif

right - time to start thinking of articles......
1) changing of coil pack ?

EDIT
2) fitting new angel eyes &lt;&lt;know some people have stuggled

[Craig]

smileys/smiley17.gif
1) Fitting a rear performance box

[Sean]

nice idea!

1) fitting rear discs (only fronts are in the how-to guides)

2) fitting an enclosed air filter

3) BE3 conversion smileys/smiley17.gif

[Craig]

2)Fitting headlights, i.e. smoked - angel eyes

[Simo]

Can I just remind you there is a difference between an FAQ and a HOW-To guide.

How-to guides cover things in some detail... ie, fitting angel eyes.

An FAQ is a simplified answer to a problem, or query. ie, why does my airbag light keep coming on?

[Gav]

1. y does my abs light stay on
2. how do i get rid of the rattle noise in the doors from speakers.

oooooooo i could go on and on.

[al_VTR]

DOH !! i'll start again. sorry if i led you guys up the wrong path smileys/smiley9.gif

[Sean]

cool. how about...

1) when i press the brake pedal at speeds above 30mph, the pedal 'judders'. why?

2) my engine temp gauge warning light comes on after short journeys or when stationary for a small length of time. why is this?

3) what's the difference between 6x9's, component speakers, mid-bass speakers and subwoofers?
