Sub-categories

[Steer^Gimic]

Just an idea, what if O/H follow a similar layout to Honda-Tech in regards to the model section with sub categories?

Lately, when i jump into the Civic/CRX section, there is alot of topics of FN2, New CTR etc..then stuck in amongst all those threads is something like 'Problem with EK startup (example only)

Under the Civic/CRX Section, what if we had sub-categories for;
EF/ED/CRX
EG/EK
EP/FN/New Civics

By now, surely there are enough users with models to fill all these sub categories.

Sure as hell would make it alot more easier to browse, reducing stupid comments such as 'do a search' & 'this has been posted before'. It does make it hard to sift through when there such a diversity in topic discussion. Also will have the benefit of people paying more attention to specific topics when its dedicated to one specific model.

just an idea...

In the past we have expanded upon on such level for the Accord section ( Euro vs the rest) because these models are vastly different , and that there is a larger following etc. Problem is this issue dosent exist for other models ( civic vs crx etc)

There is the same problems over and over again for sure , but now most is just pushed into the noob section if its covered.

Any other thoughts peoples out there?

[Steer^Gimic]

yeh your right, but now, there is a larger span of models from 1988-2007.

surely there are vast differences and COMPLETELY different followings in a 19year gap of the same model car!

so really, its the same as your Accord vs Euro argument.

Take this current moment into consideration. At the moment, here are a good mix of topics in the Civic/CRX Category, on page 1!

"is 60000 import the mugen civic RR too expensive? "

"EK mugen front grille! "

" Cloudy Head Lights"

"CRX JR Supercharger ED9 "

Surely thats enough vastness for you, and thats only the topic titles!

True true. There is a larger influx of CTR only threads popping up.

Lets wait for a few more opinions and see where this takes us.

[bennjamin]

If there is to be a new thread , it will be 06+ civics (IE the new civic + CTR)

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to implement this change,
Makes browsing through it all, esp for new users, a lot easier now that there are so many different model Civics.

Also for the Events section, im also gettin a lot of ppl PM'n about wanting the events section categorised into individual state forums.
I dont mind going through it all so long as admin doesnt mind creating it.

[Steer^Gimic]

good to see you guys taking it on board.

bennjamin, if you where to do anything, id have three categories.
-EF/ED/CRX
-EG/EK/EM/Delsol
-EP/FN/06+ (incl. CTR)

Three categories would suffice without causing too much confusion or un-necessary sub-cat's.

OR you could have the above, with the exemption to Type R's. that way, you could have ONE category for all things type R (Creating a cleaner forum for Integra owners too!)

We all know that all Type R's are substantially different to normal models. Giving them one section to discuss specific R topics would also be something to consider.

Just a reminder , this thread will only be relevant to a new section in the CIVIC forum , for new model civics (FN1/FN2 / CTR).


Majority of civic threads are relevant to ODB1/OBD2 engines (92-00) , which are mostly the same issues though out.

well shouldnt all the talk about ECU's and Engine related queries go into the 'Technical' forum?

Technical (6 Viewing)
Engines, brakes, ECUs, tuning.


And stuff like, "do ED axles work with EF's" etc go into a generation specific subsection?

but anyway, i dont really care

[bennjamin]

its all thoughts so dont " not care"

AT the moment , anything relative to a specific model goes in the specific forum. Any ECU talk that is about a specific model goes into that model forum too.

But for any techincal question that isnt about a particular model (IE only about a type or ECU , or injector type etc) goes in the technical thread.

Anything else that has been covered much before or is plain common sense gets moved to the noob forum.

-EF/ED/CRX
-EG/EK/EM/Delsol
-EP/FN/06+ (incl. CTR)

I agree with this model . There shouldnt be to much extra work for the mods, plus it will stop people asking the same questions over and over due to lack of searching.

[Q_ball]

^ I agree with that as well!

+1 over here.
