Common people, lets see some interesting stuff being posted around here!

Yep, I'm being pushed hard by my teamleaders. Got to get some stuff done before the end of the month.

YEAH!

We just hit 40 members! Not bad for a 3 week old forum

Only thing is 12 of those have not yet posted. I wonder why? Anybody got suggestions to this? Anything we can improve so first timers keep their interest in the site?

It's a month already. JesseP registered on 27th of august.

Perhaps if we can offer a gallery on the front page and some other functionalities we can attract more people and see if the already registered users will return.

I know a number of the 0 post members from the corollaclub forum where I posted a link to our little site for the few ae86 guys there (havent seen them here yet). A lot of the new members dont have an ae86 I guess, theyre the regular toyota crowd from holland, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Things to think about:

Supply some walktroughs for performance modifications and general maintenance. With the upcoming prothane bushings GRB, it might be a nice idea to make a writeup of the first installations with photographs of each step.
You could expand this idea to cover most aspects of every day hachi ownership. How to change the motor/trans/diff oil? provide a picture walktrough with essential information added (type of oils, torque specs etc, difficult parts etc). Lots of people are doing stuff now, grab a camera and make an effort! Even people who have changed the oil on thousands of other vehicles will find it helpfull to read through the procedure beforehand. You never know whether there are quirky little things.
Changing the filters, replacing the timing belt etc etc

The other suggestion I have is to post more pictures of European meets. A Beginning had already been made on the forums, perhaps its a good idea to incorporate more of a structure. Perhaps putting some of the pics in a gallery on the frontpage

Movies! Not the Japanese/American typical driftmovies that everyone surfing the net has seen a thousand times before. I want to see stuff of you guys in action. Onboard laps of the great European circuits, drifting th corner you know so well in your neighbourhoud, that sort of stuff..

Hey Nohachi,

I'm gonne be doing some of those things and taking pictures, I do want to have help from someone more experienced if I would want to do a writeup though, I'm much to much of an amature and I dont want to be responsible for someone else damaging his car because I wasn't clear enough in my writedown or made a stupid mistake

As for the foto galery, Banpei is already working on that

As for the vids from ourselves, those will come when we get there for sure, when we start to do meets at events from this forum, that content should grow.

We do also have some drifters here on the forum like Kristian, I hope they will post more movies of the things they are doing on this forum

But all good points for sure! thanks!
