Have admins already made notices to get forum users to

1. Use the signature to identify what car they have

2. To actually use the search option as it does work

This problem affects many here, as most answers have already been answered many times and how can people help when they have no clue of what car anyone is talking about?

This is mainly for those more in the know than me about these cars as i sit and read thier fustration.

I have reported myself to admin to check if theres anything that can be put up so all provide this information so it saves everyone repeating themselves all the time.

If people didn't ask the questions, there would be no "new solutions" found.

Just because a question was answered 3 years ago doesn't mean thats the way to do something. People will have come up with new ideas, new suggestions. New (better) parts may have been released, or old ideas may be unfeasible through part unavailability.

Also, without people asking questions, you wouldn't have questions to answer. Of course, if you don't want to answer questions "because they've been answered before" then I'll be happy to show you where the door is.

FYI (For Your Information) "^^^" is much like pointing upwards. (Handy hint: It looks like an Upwards arrow!)

Also, Yes, putting car information in your signature is a reasonable idea, a lot of people (and 99% of the "active" posters will have SOME reference to their car somewhere on their profile) already do it.

May I make a suggestion though:

That on the other hand ... "air box modded twin headlights" ... So your headlights are in your airbox, you have 2 airboxes in your headlights, or you have 2 sets of headlights?

And that comment has what to do with my original post?

That's why I don't allow sigs to be displayed.
