Its time to create a master FAQ - I need help!

[Malloy]

OK guys, I have the next week off...and I want to build a kickass FAQ. Tanya set the bar with her page, but unfortunately she may not be able to access it for a while. Soooo I want to get started. I have the stuff from the original FAQ but I need much more goodness. Please post stuff in this thread that you think needs to be in out FAQ.

Guys- not all at once ;)

Of course, all the data plate translations, the year changes (down to the tiniest thing) with all available options from the years. Stock ride height measurements would be coo.l too. If there was a way to check what's most frequently searched for (i.e. mudflap areo issues), that could give you a good idea for some stuff. Def link the aftermarket wheel stickies and perhaps explain that the 14s are no longer practical or at least shine some light on a clue for the otherwise clueless about that. Perhaps some links on offset explanations. A lot of what I'm thinking about is so already linked in the FAQ or stickied. IMHO you could break it down to info and upgrade options. Info about the stock working of the car... i.e. mac struts in front with 190 ft/lb (or w/e it actually is) springs and 23mm anti-roll bar, 10.1" x .8" rotors and single-pot 200mm floating calipers...yadda yadda yadda (**ATTN Searchers: I Pulled numbers out of my hat**). Then in the aftermarket guide, cressy brakes, or Q45 rotors and w/e calipers, or the JKBBK, Griffin handmade (sometimes slightly off) burly Al rad is an upgrade replacement, 7M fits pretty easily (since when?!), RC intake pipe to replace your crappy leaking plastic pipe, these Focus shocks fit when you remove the bushings and replace them with these, these MR2 struts fit with spacers or cut/welding, rear camber can be adjusted after you do this... You know, killer faq indeed...borderline MKII bible...then what would we all do? Pic/gen chat lol :p

How to turn a strut tube into a coilover and:

What is an RCA? --> (feel free to modify this for clarity)

The purpose of a roll center adjuster is to correct for the angle of inclination of the lower table when lowering the ride height of the car. Often when you lower the suspension with a design like this you get what is called "bump steer" which is this freaky feeling the steering wheel gives you when you go over a bump or a divit, it kinda jerks and does what it wants, the reason for that is that the suspension is designed to operate with a slight angle on the lower table, which you lose when you lower the ride height, the spacers bring the table back very close to oem spec and corrects for the angle. They work very well, after doing this modification and lowering the car even more the steering has come back completely normal, and it gives the car much more stability cornering on uneven surfaces. The spacers are placed between the lower table (on the steering arm) and attaches to the bottom of the strut. (The same for all models mentioned above)

I can write this up if there is no information already, I cant find any of the threads

[SuperSubs]

I know it can all be found in the TSRM's and other sources, but if someone could make one mega-PDF torque spec list for everything that the info is available for, it would really be helpfull to have all that info right in front of you in one clear-cut section. I hate having to scramble over random pages of the TSRM and rebuild manuals to find a spec while I am holding onto a gasket covered in RTV 'cause I'm an idiot...
