A suggestion in response to the recent rash of questions...

...taken from another forum, but still very applicable:




And no, I'm not talking about every question that's been asked, some of them are very relevant and cover new topics of discussion. I'm talking about the questions that have been brought up eleventy million times already, some of the answers can even be found on the same page that the new thread was just posted on because someone else just asked the same question. These cars have been around long enough that there isn't a whole lot of new ground to cover, and the information is out there and accessible with just a quick search.

 

+one.....hahaha, BAD MONKEY!:laugh:

Tom, use protection, get your bore punched and get a shot. Stay away from the whores. Problem solved

 

I have no problem answering questions, but it's when we see the same questions over and over and over that it gets old. Don't you find it just a bit satisfying to find the answer on your own and in the process learn more about it? A lot of us on the board have had to do our own searches, and our own research and by doing that we've learned a lot. I don't mind imparting my own knowledge, but it'd be nice if people put a little more effort into it. The current Impreza platform has been around for 6 years, even the STI has been around for 4. There isn't a whole lot that hasn't already been covered.

 

Exactly

If you've been searching and you still can't find the answer, then go ahead and ask. But to just blindly throw it out there because you're too lazy to look it up is when it gets annoying. And asking "What part is best?" isn't going to help you much, because every one of us on here has a different setup on their car for a different reason, and every vendor has their own reason for designing a part the way it is. You're better off asking yourself a question (and be honest with yourself): What do you want out of the car? Once you have a goal in mind, you can find a part that will help you achieve that. Want to rallyx the car? Think twice about finding that super low set of springs. Want tons of power? Look at a larger exhaust, bigger turbo, fuel injectors, etc. A lot of the time, the brand name is up to you. Some of this is just common sense, and a little research would save a lot of time and money.

And with Unabombers Manifesto, there isn't much of an excuse anymore to not search. It's a great resource that I find myself re-reading from time to time.

 

This wasn't aimed at anyone in particular, but just more of a general reminder.

 

I usually stick to Nasioc or I-club if I need to look up technical stuff, Unabombers Manifesto is THE best source for the majority of the answers you need. Otherwise, there are usually more users in each of their technical forums at any one time than are usually browsing our entire site. A quick search on Nasioc will usually give you enough material to spend a few minutes to a few hours reading and reseaching.
