I created a Google "Custom Search Engine" that will only search the garage area (where info is located) of sites that we decide upon.
Currently I have the following sites included:
914world
914club
Narp
Pelican

If you have a site/forum that you would like added just PM or emal me the link and I'll add it.

Bookmark this site if you want to use it: 914 Google Search Engine It's in my signature as well.

If anyone thinks this is a good idea, I will be glad to maintain it for the club or relinquish it to the Admins.

Thank you for taking the time to do this. Also thank you to the admins for the work they do in maintaining this site.

Mark,

I like the idea. What do you think about adding Roadglue forum and the 914 wiki as well?

Richard...just added them...thanks

How about Brad Anders and Bowlsby?

added

I don't know if by "garage" you also mean the classics section here, but it would be a mistake to leave out that goldmine. Also, I would probably add the originality forum here as well.

True..added classics, originality and paddock

Very cool!

The Samba: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewforum.php?f=31

Wow.

The all encompassing 914 search. Excellent. It could amost be used as a "view cross-posts" button with a little cut/paste. Perhaps it could be made a part of the advanced search here. Hmmm.....

Hey, you guys are using the search tool...cool!
Here's some stats just for the first few days.

http://www.tunacan.net/t4/ has a lot of good stuff.

Type 4 Secrets added

added Auto Atlanta's tech section

WOW!! This is great. Thanks very much. Thanks also to the others who created and maintain this site. JoeO

The custom search is 1 week old today and appears to be getting about 40 querries a day.

Any other sites we should add? Yahoo groups? etc.

how about forums.aircooledtechnology.com

added...if someone wants to post they'll have to login, but this will at least lead them to the discussion which they can read.

Great idea!

Brad Anders FI site/ One of the best FI sites around

Richard Atwell's VW Bus Pages Lot's of good Type IV stuff

Yes, great sites. Had Brad's but added the Bus Pages.
Currently, here are the sites so far...

don't forget shoptalkforums...

Please provide urls, if you could.

http://www.tangerineracing.com added

Make sure our tech articles are included. Actually, you probably want to include our whole "info" section:

http://www.914world.com/specs/914info.php

Got it...
Thanks

Probably ought to publicize this around to the other sites as well...

Skip

It would be nice to have the search engine linked somewhere visible where it's always readily available for club members...or anchor the thread.

Admins...interested???????

For those of you who are using this search engine, Andy said he was going to try to integrate this into the site somehow. If that doesn't fly, I guess you'll just have to bookmart it.
