Styckyd: Part Forensics - Automotive Parts Wiki
 

This plugin allows your community to share and read product information as well as help your advertisers by linking to their sites from the product pages.

We are automotive enthusiasts that are building a system to solve many of the problems that are encountered when trying to get information and reviews on the parts that we want to install on our cars, and then figure out where to buy them. Our goal is to support the community (Specifically automotive forums) and continue to alter the system so that it serves enthusiast's needs.

Key features:
- Links your advertisers with the parts they sell
- Product information is crowd-sourced from the entire automotive enthusiast community
- Integrates with your vBulletin templates and branding
- Allows users to edit product information, add pictures and reviews

DEMO:

More information can be found at the following sites:

If you run into any issues with installation or operation, please let me know and we'll be able to get that fixed up right away.

A demo forum has been setup for your viewing pleasure. The demo forum is vB 4 but the plugin above will work on 3.5+.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

We're currently talking with a few large forums and some large national advertisers who are interested in the system. More feedback and forums using it so that we can make it better are always welcome.

You guys have definitely got my attention. Not only do I run a car-enthusiast site, but I've actually had an auto parts distribution business before, so I know the catalog challenges.

Kudos on trying to do what has never been done. And Kudos on driving the s2k. :) That's what really got me interested in the product.

Thanks, we're working hard to figure out all the problems and really make this work.

And thanks for the compliment on the S2k, it's an amazing car - I love it.

Is there anything we can do for you?

Nathan and I spoke at length today on the phone. I'm very sick at the moment, so I won't be able to play with implementation just yet, but I did give him a lot of feedback.

Yes, he told me about your discussion. Sounds like it was a good one. If you have any more questions or comments, feel free to get in touch with Nathan or myself at any time.

Get well soon... there's autocrossing to do! (Ha! I wish there actually was for me... too much snow on the ground)

Yep, missed one on Sunday. :( 70+ entries too. :(
