Definitely a non-pontiac auto section, I never seem to know whats up with my pickup.

A handy man section would be nice to see, for general garage finishing, driveways etc.

How about a cooking section so we can post what we ate while working on our cars, or what we had for breakfast.

I second that; especially with some of the recent events.

I think a sticky in this forum listing members willing to inspect local vehicles for out-of-state members would be an excellent resource. I've needed such a person several times over the last couple of years and there's really no easy way to do it other than starting a new post every time. One "sticky" thread would make the search super-easy.

This is a good idea but very difficult to organize. Many members come and go. Some members may volunteer at one point but may not be available at other times. I know I wouldn't want to be on a permanent list to do this.

wasn't there a PY map of members, showing their location on a picture of the US and their name/car?

i suppose that could be linked to PY
all we'd have to do is associate the PY name with the person

It would be nice to be able to see who has websites about their cars/ restoration. Could be combined with, as someone already suggested a restore update forum. It is a good way to learn from each other about what to do and what not to do. I also find it interesting and inspiring to see others hard work in progress.

How 'bout a "Media Forum" where Music / TV shows / DVD / movies alerts for coming shows etc or mentions of pertinent Pontiac related movies could be posted.

I don't know a good forum title, but at times I want a dialogue about mechanical design subjects which aren't unique to Pontiacs. At present I have two examples-

1) Silent-chain camshaft drives, such as are OE on most pushrod engines. After reading about the advantages of silent-chain (HY-VO and others) on Morse's very informative website, I'm wondering why aftermarket cam drives are all roller-chains. I find it fascinating that silent-chain design exhibits zero (ZERO!) friction during chain bend/unbend.

2) Resilient driveshafts, such as the ISO-TEC line made by MSI for engine dynos- supposedly the most demanding application of any automotive-sized driveshaft. The ISO-TEC shafts are double-tube, with an elastomer between the tubes. To me, it's an intrigueing idea, since I've had 'unsolvable' vibration problems with certain 'big engine/small vehicle' combinations.

Maybe name it "Mechanical Design" forum?

(Thanks in advance- for moving these two discussion topics to the new forum, once you've added it!)

Edit: Looks like I didn't post this in the right place. I saw "...additional topic ideas" and was thinking it said "... additional forum ideas". Don't know where I should post it?

Our newest moderator was kind enough to read my post, and will be looking into the possibility of a "Mechanical Design" forum. Thanks Bart!

I would love to see a Pro-Touring forum which would include, EFI, larger wheel/tire combos, proper fitment of such & suspension upgrades. Many of us have spoken about this before. If you go through the site there have been a lot of requests for such a forum recently as well as posting photos of such cars all over this site. There is such a great demand for it by the members. It would be very popular here and tastefull.
Many of the older gentlemen are not big on change when it comes to these cars and that is okay. They have a certain ideal of what the cars should look like and they are entitiled to that as the younger generation is also entitled to what they have envisioned their cars to be. This forum would encourage members to keep these posts and photos in one dedicated forum keeping everybody happy to see what they choose to see rather than running into someting that is of no interest to them.

Ditto! Ditto! Ditto!
In fact, maybe all year GMC trucks, since the close Pontiac/GMC relationship spans many years.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
