Apologies: i posted this in the wrong thread.
i've thought about two versions of this and think it could help consolidate the threads. its basically a virtual search.
The user would be able to pick the engine/suspension/exhaust/tires they wanted and add them to their car.
Version 1 will be simple:
we'll make this simple and use engines only.
For example: there would be menu. you'd see 3 engine buttons (pics included)
(efi) (tbi) (carb)
lets say we choose/click the tbi engine button
it will take us to a picture of a tbi engine. a list would be presented with the stock parts and hp
Now we see
(budget) (moderate) (expensive) or (custom)
these could be based upon $$, simplicity, or Hp
we click moderate upgrade.
we see a picture of an upgraded tbi engine:
lets a 302 tbi lopo
eddy intake manifold, shorty headers, dual exhaust, plugs, dizzy cap, electric fan, rear gear etc.
a picture would be provided. you see at the bottom of the screen the +'s in hp and torque and costs
you could move the cursor on the intake manifold, click it, and it would send you to a link or a search thread with the simular posts.
Long story short its a visual search engine. it might help.
there's more to it though.
i thought of another version where we could actually start with a stock engine and remove and replace parts. we could create our own engines and critique them. and we could make fun of one another saying which is or isn't budget friendly.
just a thought, maybe a fun way for all of us to collaborate and kill some time.
