I plan on adding some more forums to specify different models, but for now, it'll do.

All feedback is welcomed, thanks in advance

what is JDM... i assume it has to do something about cars cause you have forums about cars i guess, but a lot of people won't have a clue what you're forums are about. also, i'm not a fan of having everything CENTERED. ;)

JDM is VERY popular. JDM = Japanese Domestic Market. The people you mention about not knowing "JDM" are not my targeted traffic, so, they don't really apply.

There's an option to choose between the fixed skin and the stretched version and I mentioned that on there ;)

Thanks for the feedback tho...

Does anyone think Adwords would help right away? So far, I've been inviting people through myspace but i think adwords is in the near future. Then again, the sites only ~2 weeks old...

Myspace got me over 300 members, its a good tool. Dont waste your money on adwords

I wouldn't write off Adwords completely. I've had some success with it. It all depends on your niche, and how expensive the keywords are that you're bidding on. For some it might be worth it, others not so much.

MySpace is very handy as well. You can target folks who you can be reasonably sure will have an interest in your site, and you can keep their attention on your site with the occasional bulletin announcing changes, updates, etc.

Well, I'm up to 90 members. I think I should start the bulletin whoring :)

I'm not ruling out Adwords though. I know it can come in handy later. I'm gonna focus on myspace some more and hopefully it'll show some better results.

The site is still in the works but for now I'm pretty satisfied. I've uploaded a new style and added a few mods. Thanks!

i think it is pretty kewl looking, only thing i would do though, is make your header readable, the name of your site is kind of hard to read.....

Yeah I've been thinking about that too. I have the psd file saved so I can simply use another text.

Thanks :)

bump..

lots of changes since I first posted this. I really neglected the site for a few months, unfortunately. I'm basically starting all over now so hopefully this summer will have good things in store for us.

Thanks for lookin'!

Was that a Trueno in the top right image?

I'm not sure what direction you want to go with your board, but since it seems to be a smaller board I personally would offer more for member/guests to do. Such as, off the top of my head, a 'Featured Parts' section or tutorials/information on how to do engine swaps, sway bar installations, background information on certain cars..stuff like that. You have to ask yourself, "What makes my site different?" or "What do I have to offer?"

Overall nice site tho. I would just be more dynamic with your features.
