I'm starting to go through it looking for broken stuff, so bear with me. After I've scrubbed it decently, I'll start work on moving it to a real content management system (as opposed to hand-maintained static html - yecchhhh). 1-8-99: Fixed some broken links on the Reference pages. 11-7-98: Went through a bunch of backlog and added: Warning on Bad Diff Mounts on the market from Dennis Culligan A doc on Coping with a Bad idle/stalling by various folk A Brake Booster primer by Jim Altman A tip on Upgrading your Clutch Tubing by Rick Bacon Some more collected Cooling Tips Bypassing your OEM Hazard Switch by Dan Masters A review of 'New' Redlines by Joe Merone An explanation of the purpose of Octane in fuel by Brian Schlorff Coping with a TR6 that's burning oil by Brian Kemp Replacing ZS Carb jets (yep it can be done) by Terry Geiger & Co.

Yip yip. 8-21-98: Replaced the main page! Aaaaugh! :-) Seriously, spent more than ~5 minutes thinking about page design for once; tried to move to a cleaner presentation. I'm aware that Javascript is really not considered polite by many people; as soon as I have a final idea of the page's appearance, I'll either add cross-platform code or find a way to bag it altogether. If the site doesn't work for you, please tell me! Subpages will slowly migrate to the new format once I've frozen the design; eventually, I hope to move the whole 'article collection' into a more database-like thing that generates pages on the fly so as to facilitate using a consistent format. 8-20-98: Added a brand new TR6 title, William Kimberley's Triumph TR6, to the Bookstore. 8-18-98: Began to work on a major site redesign in order to avoid doing some actual work.
