I noticed the VCA & VCO follow some of the same categories, which I had always found somewhat fragmented when trying to keep up to date on the latest in engine mods or performance offerings.
As a guy who is keenly interested in one particular thing (the engine) I find it hard to keep up to date with the newest discussion & tips on the engine. I would love to see categories dedicated to such things rather than two performance categories + General GEN 1/2/3/4/5 catagories to fit all of the various components & discussion.

When good information about say snapped rear knuckle pops up I quickly find it buried by the random threads about girl with viper pictures. It would be better categorized in suspension discussion.

An example of the new system

General Discussion

Anything viper *no technical talk

Technical

Engine * Exhaust Intake Pistons Camshafts Crankshafts Throttle Bodies Cooling

Fuel * Injectors Pumps Regulators

Drivetrain * Transmission Differentials

Tuning & Electronics * Standalone Tuners SCT

Brakes & Suspension * Lowering springs adjustable suspension

Nitrous * obvious

I suggest this because many gen 1/2/3/4/5 parts are interchangeable to some degree in our vehicles.
Having both a Gen 1/2/3/4/5 discussion and the tire, wheel, brake and suspension and performance modifications becomes confusing and redundant.

Also I don’t know how the sponsors work but I believe it would be in their interests to sticky group buys in the relating categories rather than hidden in their dedicated discussion forum. At least we will get to see that X-company that makes a new engine-Product will be in engine-Category for all the people who are interested in engine-information.

How about a “Track Talk” forum?
I know there’s discussion on how best to organize racing-related topics, but I’d like to see a sub-forum section devoted to owners that track their own cars.

Perhaps, in time, we could build a sticky that collates individual track info as well: links, maps, sound limits, turn guides.

From the Junkman…

Okay, we need a moderator to change the forum defaults to allow more than one video per post!

I’ll send it along, but bare in mind that Don’s under the gun with the final punch list, so this may not happen till the end of the week.

It’s a spam guard. After they have X posts they can add more links. When he started the thread, he only had 3 posts on the forums.

He’s already got a shit load of posts so he’s probably good to go.

New item:

Just a quick question for you WHENEVER you get a chance, no rush at all. I created a PDF checklist for new GTS owners to use while inspecting a (new to them) GTS. I have posted it on other forums without issue and would like to add it to the VOA site. The size of the PDF is 92kb and the site says it is over the limit. I’ve tried to compress it, but looks like 92 is the best I can get. Any fix for this? If not, no biggie. Just wanted to help out the VOA members.

92 kb was too big? I have a program that will scrunch them down more… but sometimes you lose a little in the looks dept.

Let’s keep a list of items and tweaks that we can discuss, test and implement when time permits:

• Have Moderator/Web Committee PM’s return delivery receipts when read.
