Hi Guys

I need some input. A Mate of mine at work and I, are looking at organising a site, where any forum, or person, or club, can upload their cruise/event/BBQ/whatever calendar, to do with motorsport, cars bikes ect.

From what I have seen there is nothing available for Tasmania, where all the small clubs can post up events and cruises.

So what we are looking at doing, is combining some RSS feeds from all the sites, so that events can be automatically updated (don't as me how, I have no idea how this shit works)

Basically what we are proposing is an index site, based on a calendar or something, where each day can be displayed, and any events occurring on that day would be listed. The description for each even would be brief, with further link to each relevant club ect, to obtain the cruise information.

So what I need is some input, to see if this is a good idea, layouts, how you would like it to look, design ideas

AND MOST IMPORTANT

A GOOD NAME, something that can be easily searched for and found.

The main aim of this site, is to make motoracing more available to people. For example, there are many people that just like to watch drifts, but if you are not signed up to a site and visit regularly, you will not know that there are training sessions held ect.

This site would bring motorsport together, allowing for a full calendar of events a cruises.

I now that Motorsport Tasmania has a calendar, but this does not cover things like the skyline forum, or the Mitsubishi Australia club and so forth.

So fire away.

ALSO, for all those involved in other makes, models of cars, bikes and forums, can you repost this information on my behalf to get some feedback, and report back here.

TTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
