    Either tap into the inlet manifold or cut the vacuum hose that runs from the AEI to the inlet plenum and put a T piece in it

    Agreed. This has been concerning me a little over the last couple of weeks. Maybe there needs to be a standard polite moderator response and lock down that can be applied to any threads that start to become a bit too 'member only'.

    That said, there needs to be some carrot to follow

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again; the boards should be blocked off completely (and that includes viewing them) from non-rtoc members.

    Yeh - I agree about not being able to post, but surely you would want them to view some of the forum - i.e, general chat, so that they can 'taste the delights of RTOC'.

    that was my veiw as well , but as no one listened and the sites as it is, would give the club a bad name people being alowed to post and then receive crap or no reply.

    it needs sorting out i belive, had to answer the simple question because it had been asked and was allowed to be asked

    i disagree with non members not being able to see anything,
    i think non members should only be allowed to go as far as the home page and not be able to click into anything else and go any further.
    at least they get a glimpse.
