So did I grab you all with that cryptic topic title?

Let me explain.

I need some technical articles written, and I just dont have the time to do them myself. Now thats where YOU come in!

I need technical articles written on topics such as:

* Boost controllers - manual vs electronic and how to install them. Bradley
* Air filters and air intake tech Zak
* Wastegate Tech - internal vs external - how they work and installation. Matt Dunn
* Track day - how do I prepare? KinLoud
* Clutch kits - which one for me? Bradley
* Blow off valves - what do they do and how to choose one
* Gauges and how to install them
* Suspension tech - guide to upgrading your suspension
* How to modify your car - a general guide Zak

Now - why would you want to spend some of your free timing writing a tech article for me? Well - ill pay you for it! Each of the above will be worth a $30 credit that can be used at Driven Performance!

THE SMALL PRINT:
*All Tech articles will need to be of a high professional standard, and include clear embedded images to illustrate, and must be no longer than 3 pages in length.
*All Tech articles must be completed in MS Word.
*All information and images should be referenced as appropriate and not plagiarised.
*Writer(s) agree to relinquish any and all rights over the article and its content as part of this arrangement.
*All tech article content is subject to approval and editing by me.
*Credit will only be given once the article is of a suitable standard. My decision on the standard is final.
*Credit must be used within 1 month of the completion of the edited version of the tech article(s).
*Credit can be used on any item currently in stock with Driven Performance (if the item you want is out of stock, decisions will be made on a case by case basis).
*Credit cannot be given away or sold - it is only valid for the person(s) who wrote the article(s).

from his "I just dont have the time to do them myself" I figured that he didn't have the time to do it...

Id like to know how wastegates work...
I thought it was just another fad like big and loud exhausts

I'm up for it

Only hard bits is photos, but I can definatly do gauges, clutchs and intakes, I can do more if no one else does, but I can only do them on the weekend as I work from 5am to 10pm most week days.

Whats the email you need them sent to?

Just let me know if you want me to do those ones or not

by **TWSTD** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 10:56 pm

Zak - flick me an email and we will talk further about which topic(s) you would like to do. EMail addr on the website: www.drivenperformance.co.nz

I could probably have a crack at a wastegate one for a deal on a new spring for my external gate.......

How about a guide on how to do a manual conversion on a RWD car?
It's mostly the same for all RWD cars and I already have the manual written up.

by **TWSTD** » Wed Jul 04, 2007 8:03 am

Matt - what spring do you need? We are low right now - perhaps best to PM me or email.

Silent Knight - That could be a possibility. Lets talk further via email.

Topics that have been assigned are now marked above. Still a couple more there if anyone wants to give them a crack!

by **barryogen** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 11:39 am

Just wondered... are these going to be freely available to the general unwashed masses, or only to purchasers?

by **TWSTD** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 2:59 pm

They will be available to anyone with internet access :-)

TWSTD wrote:* Suspension tech - guide to upgrading your suspension

That's a pretty broad subject (Spring types & rates, shocks, coilovers, bushings, swaybars, various control arms etc, strut tower bars, tuning considerations, camber, caster, toe explanations etc) ... must be worth more?

Or if you broke it down to suspension components you sell...?

by **TWSTD** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 5:14 pm

Although there are a lot of components to suspension, many only require a brief mention. If you are interrested in this topic please email me and i will send you a list of what I would like covered :-)

Thanks!
