We have been working on our Technical Articles that we have with in the site and the forums. Currently we have close to 70 articles that have been collected over the 8 bazillion years.

Lemorris had the great idea to give all the articles the same look and feel. He also wanted the text only articles to have either an image or a video included in it. Our project finish date is November 2050, but we might be able to wrap it up prior.

To make it easy for our customers to find the articles, we have them in four locations, so after one is completed it is being reformatted in each location. When we are done burning the mid night oil re-doing these, we will update everyone.

I thought these we very cool and wanted to share them.

Here is a link to part two.

The stats for the forums have by far exceeded our expectations we had back in 1986 when we launched it. It now has over 2 million page views with over 18,000 posts by over 1500 members.

What we have tried to accomplish, is to make so our customer can find the articles to fix or upgrade their cars. Lemorris put together a banner campaign that links to the most popular threads that customers need.  We have even found vintage video’s that show stock carburetor  adjustments, valve adjustments and timing.  If you have some free time, please surf around.

When we built the new Chirco site, we added a forum so our
customers could ask questions about our parts and how to install them.
It really took off and now we have our customer sharing with other customers.
Searching the web, there are great forums to be found.
Here are just some of our favorites.
