Default Important thread links!

Hi all. We've replaced the previous array of 'sticky threads' with this 'super sticky' thread which will have links to great resources to help you find, maintain and enhance your SC!


We did this so stickies don't consume some or all of the initial forum page view so you can see other new and updated threads!




BUILD THREADS


  • Build Threads — Archive — This will have Build Titles you’re looking for but is in an Archive Section. Find the title you want, then search for those titles in the current CL.



* Please comment below any Sticky or Build Thread links that you want included on these lists. *

My first reaction would be to restore them all….. Not sure why this vast library of information about this platform would be removed.

I am predicting that newer owners will be re-asking questions that could easily be answered with thread searches. (I know that performing searches is becoming a “lost skill” but……).

The other forums I use (LS430, LS460, RX350) have not deleted their entries. If I had a list to review I would ask for most of them…. Not sure what motivated this change. Over 30 years of information is now “lost”.

Hello,

Here is a snippet on the WayBack Machine from the time when all the Sticky Threads where still intact, which can help restore at least some of the more useful Sticky Threads. I am not a fan of a number of changes here either, but at least things appear to be moving somewhere.

[EDIT]: For this forum in particular, I do believe that it would be of benefit to create more than one Thread with Links, one for the Repairs, and one for the Mods, as, in contrast to the ES Forum, the latter is still a big thing around here.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

@ArseniiThank You so much for providing that “archive” link 🙌

This will help me restore the SC430 - 2nd Gen (2001-2010)

STICKY Threads under the pinned Sticky Important Thread Links!

Your help is much appreciated

Here is one for the DIY Tire Well Harness Relocation thread. This one is extremely important for people lowering their SC's as I destroyed mine back in the day.
