I'm wondering what you guys would like to see in the way of technical articles for the new site. The latest addition was my guide about stripping and rebuilding a cylinder head for the M20.
What other sort of guides would you find useful???

Maybe a guide on rubber bush replacement like e46 M3 cab mounts cos i need to do this! Or one on showing people that performing an inspection 2 on your car is not that hard! Leather care? cleaning all the rain gutters?

I'm currently doing a couple myself, disc and pad replacement (don't laugh some people may find it handy) and dizzy and rotor replacement on an M20.
I did actually ask this question on the old zone, but the thread went straight off topic and I never got any answers

Nice work mate, we mustn't forget that some people would never even attempt to do anything to their own car but with a little guidance from teh zone and a few toold, they're more than likely prefectly capable of doing some more simple jobs!!
