What polls do you want?

[97rs4life]

Alright I am making a compilation of polls of what mods people currently have for their cars. What polls would you like to see that are gen tech related? These polls will also have user feedback to give opinions on certain brands and such. PLMK so I can make a nice list of things. This is to help we as a fbody community understand what is out there and what works and does not work.

Re: What polls do you want?

Im just daydreaming but wouldnt it be cool to have like a modification listing in like - TREE type format. (like how they have family trees)

So if ya wanna be a drag racer: you do alot of gear(4.10s), soft rear springs/shocks, lcas, etc....
If ya wanna be an autocrosser: you dont do as much gears, stiff shocks/springs, lowering, etc.....
If ya only want Appearance: do blackouts, clear corners...whatever...etc...
If ya want Audio: dont get Sony, get such and such...etc..


Get it? I know I'm asking for way tooo much

It will be a sad day in hell when the n00bs dont use the "NEW Product Reviews/Consumer Report/testimonials/etc"!!!!!
Which I will be as happy as a puppy with 2 peters! (no other site has this Feature!! woohoo we're awesome!)

Thanks for being such a great mod, having motivation, and giving us (the v6 community) a nice start for Forward Progress in our conquest to train teh n00bs!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: What polls do you want?

How about something that isn't so much a poll but a feedback section for everyone to list what they're current setup is. Everything from suspension and brakes to drivetrain, etc. Setup a template for everyone to follow and they can edit as things get added or changed. This wouldn't be so much general tech I guess but def something to consider, I think.

Plugs, Wires, Tuning, audio, gears, tires, springs, etc etc

Each poll will have feedback in it for the mods, as for the list of everyone's setup that would be really hard to do. You really just would need a link with everyone's cardomain or fquick account and then people could go thru each and see the mods. That is something we could organize.

This would be tough to do because everyone goes in different directions to get to the points were they are. People like to be unique and not all have the same mods and looks. Everyone has their own personal touch and goals. Maybe I can get some simple lists of mods for getting 14s, and 13s, but after that it is hard to describe because cars react different, use different tuning, power adders and such to get past the 13sec mark.

Re: What polls do you want?

This really isnt a poll, but i read somewhere where someone thought it would be a good idea to list companies, manufacturers, parts, and distributors nd if they were good to use/buy from, or built crappy and whatnot....

I guess this would work better as a sticky.

our modification encyclopedia has some of that info already (link at top of site), some of the things do need to get updated though.

There is also a sticky of things here for that:

Re: What polls do you want?

Listed by part 1st:
...example:
" aftermarket intake"
then list brand name of "intake" is the one to go with
then list brand name of "intake" to NOT go with

How to get a 3.8 into the 13s? easy!
hella weight reduction, awesome tuning, and 4.10s!! woohoo!
Well, this is the formula for good running 3.8s that are already decently quick from the factory (example: me, mustangeater(eric), and little G)

Problem with saying this intake over another is that people have personal preferences where some like others over another one, could be for looks or what they feel gives them more power for their car

Re: What polls do you want?

Need a database. I've seen forum databases where you can rate a product, write a testimony, etc
Heres an example: http://www.pbreview.com/

Re: What polls do you want?

How about the original intent. Just say what intake do you have, list the top 3 or 5 and have a none of the above that people can type in. Don't forget to put a option for a custom one. What type of exhaust do you have, what type of power adder if any, what type of computer mod, what type of ignition. That would be the simplest and easiest and people can add to the thread as they see fit.

Re: What polls do you want?

Any other comments?

Trying to figure out what I want to add myself, things like intake, exhaust, power adder and such are covered in their respective sections already.

I second this. I think it would be great to have a sticky with the suggested mods for people to do depending on what direction they want to go with their car. For dragging, you could say higher gears, and suggest examples like 3.73s that are still drivable on the highway and such, 4.10s, for those who don't do much highway driving, and 4.56s for those who pretty much stick to the track.
For autocrossing, maybe a section of what handling modifications are the most beneficial for improvements and suggested sizes for swaybars and such. I know the information is out there, on this forum, but it takes so long to search everything one by one, even if it was a sticky with links to the different threads that really covered that aspect of whatever it is they are modifying.

Just a thought, i think it would really help out, and cut down a lot of pointless and repetitive threads.

Re: What polls do you want?

then the question remains, how will we get people to actually click the sticky instead of asking the questions. That is something else I am trying to figure out because most guys just ignore the search function and stickies and ask repetitive questions.
