New Registry Tech Data Section: Members Only? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

A26B · 08-31-2011

While writing a response to another thread, I had an idea to run by everyone.

What about a new Technical Section on the Registry website? Put these new, modern Tech Data Articles in a special area of the ZR-1 Net Registry website and make it accessible only by Members in good standing. Makes being a Member special and a great "carrot" to entice new Forum surfers to join the Registry.

The new articles can always be revised to improve it, based on forum members use & experience. In that regard, suggestions for modification to the procedure could be considered by a small panel of very experienced members and advisors, then submitted to a Executive Committee member to edit the Article as directed.

You may be asking why an Executive Committee member to edit the Article. Because the Executive Committee always has access to the Registry website and will only edit the Article exactly as directed.

I know, we already have something of this nature on the Registry website, but it is in dire need of a facelift & update to utilize all of the great digital photography now available. A great deal of the various subjects are already there, only needing improvement & updating.

It might work best if the Tech Data Articles were organized better, perhaps broken into Main Categories and Sub-Categories, for instance:

Engine
Fuel Injector Replacement
Secondary Port Throttle System Maintenance
Water Pump Replacement
Alternator Repair & Replacement
Starter Repair & Replacement
etc.

Clutch, Transmission & Differential
Flywheel, Clutch, Pilot & Throwout Bearing Replacement
Shifter Replacement

Suspension

Brakes

Electrical

Interior

etc.

The "Solutions" concept is a big step in the right direction, but often, the link to an entire thread with corrections sometimes made, can make for difficult comprehension and long reading. 'Solutions" can still fill a need for trouble shooting, just put the hardcore, mechanical procedures into Tech Data Articles. Everyone knows the Service Manuals are inadequate, leaving a lot of room for improvement with real pictures and more detailed explanations which are necessary for the typical ZR-1, do-it-yourself owner.

Thoughts???
