Why no Archives for Other Rotary?

Why isn't there an archive of information in the "other rotary" section? Is there a better site we should be on?

Talking

Coz us old school boys know how to use the famous "SEARCH" button and I say 80% of the time, we know how to do it, or at least we know someone.

Sure, that covers things that you know you want to know. But what about things that you probably would like to know, but didn't know existed? You can't search for what you didn't know you were looking for. Archived info allows easy access to information deemed important by experts such as yourself.

I say lets go for it. I would love to read more info about other rotary.

I understand where wacky is coming from though. Thats why I like other rotary so much, because a lot of people know what they are doing.

There is not much into our old school other than suspension and electrical. For everything else (such as engine, tranny etc etc check out the other forums such as 1st gen, 2nd gens and 3rd gens. I used them a lot for reference.

and 10-4 to doc

Obsolete parts cross refencing that is sometime hard info to find. Contact info for suppliers of parts still made for our cars would be good to have on easy lookup. Sure the old school way was to make your own lists, but we have the intenet now.

I just asked my wife if she's willing to vote for an old school archives. I think a "yeah, whatever" counts.

If we do get an old school archive...The next step would be to nominate old posts to fill it up with.

One problem guys... if we move to Australia it'll probably be confusing driving on the other side of the road and we'll all get killed.... then what? LMAO

Another thing.. only 10??? There has to be at least 15 of us!!

We'd never be able to rego our cars. They have to pass an engineering inspection, emissions, and TONS of other regs for Australia. All we could do would be take our spares and a motor to Aus, then start over. Why don't we just pool some cash and buy a small island somewhere. There we could have all our own rules.
