I just added another group to the main contents page of the wiki - "Racing"

I think that was the only thing really missing from the wiki.

To kick it off I posted all the quarter mile times on a new wiki page - hopefully we can grow it from there.

Track times would be nice too!

That's what I like so much about the wiki - in the worst case though if someone deletes something your want to stay you can revert it back to the previous version.

I'm getting a bit hooked on this organic global knowledge that just keeps growing seemingly all by itself.

Glad your happy with the troubleshooting approach DD

Quote:Sounds good to me.

The Wiki is for however you want to do it. Be aware that how wikis work is that other will come along and add more, replace parts, re-organize etc.

Anyone can add a sentence or two to the wiki.

i suspect it's automated, there may not be anyone in particular doing it.

Maybe there is a way to ban IPs from the wiki - those who post a lot of spam.

I was actually on a Torana wiki the other night and the same sort of spam stuff was getting posted on their wiki too!

I had a read of the B110, B210, B310 workshop manuals to see how they handled troubleshooting. The approach that I think is the easiest to follow and leads to the fastest diagnosis of why the car wont start is the approach in the B310 manual - which doesn't split the troubleshooting up (into engine/ignition/fuel system/etc...) - it has a section called 'Roadside Troubleshooting' which encompasses all types of reasons why an engine doesn't start and prioritizes them. This is an advancement that us humble B110 drivers should take advantage of.

I took this approach in the 1200 Wiki - I wonder if the wider community agrees?

Seems like we might want to make it register first to edit the wiki, we edit as much spam as content currently.

I started a tips and tricks page for working on engines too - thought I'd starting all those things I have learnt the hard and painful/expensive way.

So i hit on something good with the what i can answer questions and not thing ;) it seemed helpful, we all have parts we know too well.

also, if you use the == whatever == you get a table of contents at the top.

added my contact info to the 210sleeper page. cant make a working link for AIM :(

The wiki page is probably my better profile.
