People with good hand skills generally don’t need to ask stupid questions like “Where do I buy 710 fluid?”
And besides, you don’t need a PHD to spell. That’s a tired cliché. Just because someone might be blue collar, doesn’t mean they can’t string a sentence together.
Honestly, there’s little use for the technical section as it is.
The whole point of a tech section is to ask questions, get collective answers, then generate a database of common problems and their respective fixes.
This then becomes a self-perpetuating help section.
Not a “I’m too lazy to open my hood. Beyond that, I have no idea what’s actually wrong with the car in the first place. I know I could check for fuel and spark, but I’ll keep putting it off, because it will tell me there’s something wrong with my Lambor-nissan-ghini. A compression test? No, then I’ll need a new motor. When the answer is presented to me, I will still try all the cheap and simple fixes first, before giving up and paying someone to fix my car.” thread collection.
If people do figure out their problem, they never post the solution. That, and the people that do know the answer, feel some sort of moral superiority, and choose to not help out at all.
Then the boys club warms up their Picard jpgs, and ruin the thread. Then their private group of nut-huggers come along and repost the same jpgs, or diluted internet speak cleverness.
But when 90% of your members bought the car out of some deep-seeded inadequacy that made them NEED a 240SX … add to that, they want to build the next Z06-killing 240 for under $500, have great “mod list” building skills, but for all of that still cruise around in giant shit heap rust bucket stock and dying cars …
What do you really expect? Informed questions? Help?
