I figured we can have a FAQ page on here for people who want to know about tuning and modding their cars.

How does certain hardware effect your car? Why? What is the theory behind it? What about tuning? How does it work?

Great suggestion. This should have been posted under the Sites Comments and Suggestions sub-forum though.

Well this has to do with mods so I thought people should be able to know how and why stuff works before they buy it.

+1 Agreed, it would alos give an opportunity for members to demonstrate real world if the mods they have chosen really work.

The best way to build such a page is for you modder folks to start chiming in with some of the frequently asked questions and their answers. (I can't speak for Lomag but I will say that it's pretty easy to put up a FAQ page if all that's needed is some copying and pasting of the content.)

Back in 2004, that's sort of how we built the current (and slightly outdated) FAQ forum. We had members post the questions and answers and then Lomag put it together.

Again, I can't guarantee that Lomag will agree but if I had to bet, I'd say start putting up some content and see how things progress...just remember to write everyting in a FAQ format where the question is stated and the answer is given.

Great idea. Would be especially good for newbies, but useful reference point for everyone.
