Shorter ver plz lol

What I meant was to the point. Like...
Q: After installing taillights, my car doesn't start.
A: Aftermarket lights can cause failure the BCM (Body Control Unit). Check ECM to see if still working or more info: ....
Kinda like that

Perfect!

& TBH I didn't know/knew about that issue was a common issue

May I suggest a part that states something along the lines of reading the car's manual?

Dunno if it'll be under FAQs or somewhere else...

I noticed the BRZ has the owner's manual listed as a stickied thread so here's a link to the FRS. All people have to do is quickly navigate through the dropdown lists and all manuals that come with the car is displayed.

https://techinfo.toyota.com/techInfo...arch_docs_page

If I may also add another suggestion: google search "site:ft86club.com/forums [keyword search here]" without the brackets and quotation marks. So glad I saw a few members bringing that up a few months back. Saved me from creating many threads. :)

For example: site:ft86club.com/forums lowering springs

Thought bout the Owner's Manual vs Service Manual... or maybe add both for quick reference. I just went with Service Manual, cuz they might have more question about service more, so I only made service manual quick reference.

As for the forum, I usually do *whatever I'm search* and add "ft86club" and it's usually comes up in first search. Not sure "site:ft86club.com/forums" is necessary needed... but that's just me

Thanks, kinda funny that, I saw someone ask same question on FB FRS/BRZ group

I want Bodky.

Its probably like Pocky but less tasty.

@ichitaka05

Good one to link to the " I have *insert amount of money*, which mods should I buy?" question?

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96518

You will notice that in order to keep the focus on the first post I have deleted all mine that have followed. Want to keep this clean and easy to read.

Thanks, I've added the thread

Oh ichi what about which mods will need tuning etc? Definately a FAQ

Should probably include the mod sticky as well :D

That's a simple answer. ALL of em! Lol

But when I'm next to a PC, I'll add/edit it some in there

From a newbie thread:
I suggest numbering the list in first post.
Just to make Tcoat's mission a little bit easier :-)

Why do I want to make Tcoat's mission easier? lol I'll fix it later

Dude. I can make your life much harder if you want (briefly I am sure but still harder). I may even know some guys that would help I am sure.

Im sorry, I was wrong. Plz don't lol

K, number have been added to FAQ

Basic storage FAQ is added, thanks @Tcoat

Got another for you http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97982
"My windows froze and now they won't work. What can I do?"

K, added

Nice touch with the "read the manual" part but if they had read the manual they would already know what to do.

How do I make my car slower?

Love it! Nice work, Ichi!

Can't give all the answer. Gotta help em learn as well

@ichitaka05
Stumbled across the DIY index when looking for something. Forgot it existed. It should probably have a link in the Technical section. Label as "General DIY" maybe?


http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7365

Oh yeah... I forgot bout that. I was going to update that... but POTM thingy got in the way, forgot bout that. Let me put it in "To Do" list & update the thread & post it here

Parts number FAQ is added

This should be a required directory like when you first logon to the forum or something it'd be dope

If I know how to do that, I totally would...

@ichitaka05

Q: Why won't my trunk open with the fob or interior button?
A: Check the trunk lock button on the driver side of the trunk

@ichitaka05

Q: Why does my passenger seatbelt warning keep going off with the smallest thing on my seat?

A: It is not pressure sensative. Anything with a battery (i.e. cell phones) or materials with a high moisture level (i.e. groceries) may trigger the air bag warning light

Edited it a tiny bit.

Sorry, didn't get these mention. I'll update it tomorrow

This is great - I had a few of these questions early on, too. :)

hi-konnichiwa-hola
 

ok language out of the way lol. I'm still practically new to this forum name is jimmy and I drive a 2014 scion frs manual. My question is how would one find a frs/brz that some is selling on the forums or if anyone knows of some one that is selling one(I'm still learning how to navigate the forums lol)? I have a friend who fell in love with my car and he is wanting to buy one preferable used lol (he is on a college budget). So I thought pooop where else to look or ask but on the forums right? lol. So if anyone has any leads or info please do not hesitate and let me know.
