Car/Racing Related Mods

[mikelbeck]

I wrote a number of car related mods back when I used to run phpBB.

The first was a Timeslip Database: http://www.northeastbracketracing.co...ewtimeslip.php

Then there was a VIN Decoder: http://www.carbdford.com/decode_vin.php

Then I wrote a vehicle registry, and tied that into the VIN Decoder: http://www.carbdford.com/vehicle_registry.php

And last, I wrote a Torque Converter Slippage Calculator: http://www.baycityrides.org/slippage.php

(note that I don't own the sites listed above, they're just using the software that I wrote).

Anyhow, I haven't had a car related site in a while, so I never converted these hacks to vBulletin. But now I do, so I've started converting them.

The first, because it was the easiest, is the Torque Converter Slippage Calculator: http://www.superstockhemis.com/forums/slippage.php. I'll be doing the others as time permits.

Now, the question is this... Would anybody else be interested in these? Meaning, should I release them to the public or just convert them and use them for myself?

Post in this thread if you'd be interested. If there's enough interest I'll package them as modifications and will release them here.

I'd love a new vehicle registry system.
Currently I use http://www.318ti.org/registry which is completely sepearate from vB.
The VIN decoder sounds cool too, although there must be dozens out there.

Possibly.

You could create your own database, it's not all that complicated.

Here's what I already have:

1966-1974 Chrysler
1964-1974 Dodge
1966-1974 Plymouth
1964-1995 Ford
1981-1995 Ford Trucks
1972-1988 Jeep
1997-1998 Jeep

Very interested in all of the above, esp the vehicle registry/vin decoder. Our board is focused on Toyota MR2s, and I have most of the VIN decoder static info. I'd be willing to donate for your time as well. Very nice mods.
