I ask because we are looking for people to write new articles for this section:

http://www.rtoc.org/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=61

If you have a particular mod or maintenance aspect which you feel that you are very knowledgable on, we'd love if you could submit a new article, maybe with photos and hints and tips.

The ones we have in there now have mainly been imported from the old site and some new articles would be extremely useful to the members.

Not sure there would be much interest on here, but I like the sound of that! I'd like to hear more about it when you do it :)

I could do one for a 360 degree thrust bearing upgrade. Although people can't use it as a ''rebuild guide'' when they're turbo has already blown, as you'll simply fail and waste your money.

I just need a turbo for pictures, which i'm short of at the moment...:D

I did a basic 172 conversion into a Renault 5 guide for another forum it might help peeps on here a bit. It was done from my experiences doing mine and from advise I had from Scoff, Ashy and Mr Cooke.


Also done a basic guide forconverting the C3J block to be used with the C1J parts.


Even done a basic Head gasket remove and refit guide.

James, that's awesome. Are they already in the articles section? If not, I don't mind formatting them and putting them in there?

Hi Dawn,
There might need a bit of formatting if you wouldn't mind I will get them on a word doc and upload to file section (as I can't ip.load to articles anymore for some reason) if you get a spare few minutes if you wouldn't mind taking a look that would be fantastic even if the Scoff, Ashy, Colin etc.. want to amend please do.

Many thanks
James
