It would be awesome if rosso could post a guide on:
  • seat leon front splitter for the seicento
  • adapt existing induction system to be more "ram-like"
and kritip and others could give a proper introduction on likely problems, parts possibly needed etc for sei engine upgrade to 1.2 or 1.4. Those threads are very long lol and the procedure need some summarising I believe, the articles on the guides and faq for this are just a starting point (no offense custard!)

i'm quite happy to answer questions regarding work done on my car, but to write a full guide/write up on it would take soo long, and tbh - no-one would read it, and people would still ask questions. I think the threads work best, because then if you read them through - you learn as the other person learns if you get me. Like the megasquirt thread, anything new i figure out gets put in there.

I have to say I do agree with this.

I wouldn't have minded at all doing guides on various things on my car, but as they were done before I was a member on here, trying to do one after something's fitted is a bit hard. And you're right, you'll still get questions on some aspect of it.

yeah but yours falls a bit beyond a guides remit ;) thats why the megasquirt thread is linked in the turbo faq

however the likes of fitting an air filter,spark plugs,head gasket and even engine swap can be covered in a guide
 
You could change the FAQ to upper case (capitals) or make the FONT size larger?

But I dont think it would help.

Hi Everyone,

I've just posted a (hopefully comprehensive) Guide to refurbing your Seats.

Not one for the faint-hearted though!

Enjoy

nice guide,however ive just had to edit and attach near 40 images!!
its a real PITA to save,attach then insert the images whilst trying to make sure all are put in the right place and not making the guide out of sequence

anyone doing a guide pleas make sure all images are attached as guides are useless without images
 
Sorry Custard,

I don't understand, I set up a flickr account especially for the purpose of this guide, and placed the location of the photos directly in the post.

It was displaying perfectly on both my PC's, sorry to have caused you so much work.
 
......Goes away and re-reads the 'Guide to Guides'

Images
Linked images should not be used for a "Guide" (even from the FF gallery), this is for 2 reasons: If the external site ever went down/disappeared/etc the "How To" would become useless and secondly, by using the new system, thumbnails are incorporated and everything looks a lot neater...

So how do you put an image in an article then? Easy, using the new inline attachments options.

Once you have got all your images together and you have finished writing the text for your article (or you can do this as you go along, it's up to you) - click the
attach.gif
icon found at the top of the editor to bring up the attachments manager:
"

Sorry I didn't read this! would have actually made it easier for me to make the guide in the first place.

You should have let me know Custard I would have re-done it myself, Doh!

(at least i renamed the images first eh?)
