IMO if you have a reason for starting a new thread because the subject (about your car) is different enough, that should be good enough reason to have a new thread. It keeps things separated and easier to find info later

I agree, Sometimes one thread just isn't enough.

heheh i agree.... i am not a big fan of the merging of threads...i could see it if its just a simple retune... or BBK install(which should be in another section) but in many cases having more than 1 thread actually helps

I sort of like it, but I think the build threads don't get the exposure they did before, which I think is somewhat unfortunate.

I am happy now you dont have people bumping random threads for no reason with non important/critical info to the build because they are all on the first page.

I understand its not up to you or even other mods, but did Kyle at least consider the idea or read the opinions I had? Its not like Im trying to bring back street racing threads, I feel as if merging all the threads is not beneficial to anybody.

I agree. Merging every single thread about a car into a single post just makes all of the subsequent posts worthless.

We spend $$$$, share knowledge and info, good and bad experiences and we cant start seperate threads when worthy? Using myself as an example-some threads Ive had in the past 15 months or so:

*Got my car back from Forged
*Installed 3.3FD my review, and info
*Went to the track destroyed a tranny-DONT powershift, laugh at my vid
*Return to the track here is what I ran, issues are so and so, this i show I plan to fix them for anybody else having the same problem

Maybe soon, "Rd 2 of mods, here are results and what I did"

My point is merging all of that into 1 thread will make it VERY hard and take tons of time for anybody looking for info to find. In the end it makes it harder for anybody actually using the search feature and degrades the threads, they each have a point to them.

Now I dont agree with these type of people/threads and the people that go through this process :

*What FI should I get?
*Decided on XXX kit! Yay for me"
*Car is in the shop will be out soon, here is one bad pic
*Here are my results


Who sees my point?
I gotta agree with this. Being a noob myself I have to say that going back and searching through build threads and looking at dyno charts and seeing comparisons was essential in helping me decide which road to take regarding my build(which is still a work in progress). Hell, before I found this forum I was actually thinking of getting a Stillen stage 3 S/C. If I hadn't had all the info available that the SEARCH function offers then I would have most likely been one of those who posted "I'm thinking about going F/I, what kit should I buy and how much HP will I get?"

Respectfully,
