Parts section with sound bites?

Hey guys and gals, I came across some posts here and there in my time and kept thinking about all of the wonderful mods I'd like to do to my car. Then I realized how much searching through tons of different posts I'd have to do to find pics of installs, or exhausts, guages, mounting location, etc. So I was wondering if we had or could make a forum or section that had pics of different aftermarket parts, and installations all in one area? Also for exhaust systems and such having an mp3 sound bite to give people an idea of what they sound like. I'm sure there's a lot of stuff scattered throughout the site but it really is a pain to find. Having a location or even downloadable files would be sweet.

In particular I'm wondering what exhaust to get. I've heard the HKS exh from their website and have seen Dave Buschur's system on his website but no sound. I don't like bumble bee sounds or tinny rattling exhaust notes. I like a smooth purrr or growl from the exhaust that isn't obnoxious cruising and roars at WOT. What does everyone think or where is the stuff if it exists. Thanks.

awesome

this is a great suggestion, it reminds me of the site:

http://www.scoobymods.com

that site is for subaru, of course. and a great source for how tos and what nots

follow scoobymod's lead, i think it would be cool. all sorts of mods will be posted (and regulated), and everyone will benefit

I'll try and think about where we could place an installation forum... probably one for Evo and one for Lancer. I like that idea though. We'll have to moderate the posts so we only have informative installtion posts though.

Cool, what I had in mind for organization and easy navigation I was thinking if a link under Evo Tech Forums or something like that lead to Install FAQS. In there would have all the install faqs for various parts along with install pics if any. Then make a section called Gallery under Tech Forums that has a sidebar or links to the various parts. Example:

exhaust
Turbo Timer
Intake
S-AFC

Click on exhaust and it brings up pics of all of the different exhaust brands already installed on our cars. Plus links to mp3's of their sound or mpegs of drivebyes.

I wish I had done an install faq when I installed my TT but wasn't thinking. I could probably still go through and show where everything is post install. Unless someone else has one made up already.

Ya... defintely need some heavy moderating on that forum section, something where it should be approved of succesfulness so people arn't puttingn stuff up that doesn't actaully work. annd people don't make retarded posts.
