Ok it's on it's way. Suggestions welcome
The one thing i always wanted to see here, and i even mentioned it in the suggestions forum, is a CATAGORIZED tips section. Tips contributed by visitors and edited to weed out any that are obvious or otherwise not worthwhile. The key i think would be to take all the great little tips we see here every so often and are then lost in the archives leaving a great idea buried where it may come up again or not. Things such as using black kiwi shoe polish to blacken sidewalls, removing D screws and slotting them for a screwdriver, using a rubber cork to seal the airbox after AI removal, etc etc. I cannot for the life of me think of all the great ideas i've seen and those examples aren't even very good compared to some i've seen but are all i can think of, which in itself shows how much this is needed ! But the point is every so often a fantastic idea gets posted then disappears and unless someone remembers it the same question gets asked over and over and these great ideas aren't mentioned. I for one would be willing to PM you any time i see one that seems to be worthy.

Anyway, thats IMO something that would be incredibly valuable. A person who's about to remove the AI and has no idea about the little tricks like that cork for example could simply look under the AI removal category and learn all the things he need to know that would take hours of achive searching here.
