Hey guys,

Now that we have an active moderator here on the CA forum (ME!:D) I'd like to go about making a sticky that incorperates some of the ideas ya'll have discussed in the past! I remember there have been quite afew sticky suggestions, so if you could post your ideas here I'll go about making some!

I made a USMD -> JDM part crossover sticky already, so check it out and help me add to it!

Thanks guys,Sean

gh0st, I don't know if I can go as specific as south indiana ;) but I was thinking maybe a sticky including vendors of both engines and aftermarket parts for the CA.

And Cosmo, I really don't know what the max boost a stock CA can handle. There are so many variables...These are old engines, and it will vary drastically... You'd be better off making a thread (rather than a sticky) asking that question if you'd like some more input! :D

good ideas, keep 'em coming!

maybe a "rule of thumb" if you have all fresh gaskets, good leakdown test, basically as good to perfect running condition as you can get it.

Maybe something like Exar did here. It seems a lot of people are afraid of the ca b/c they don't think parts are available or they don't know where to get them...so for n00bs, this is great. Also, sometimes, even a seasoned CA person could be in need of a link.:)

What exar did, IIRC, is start a thread asking people to provide as many usefull links as possible...that'd be a good start (when you have more time though).
