That's my vision exactly. All the knowledge you would ever need is already out there, probably on page 17 of some forum post. But it'd be a huge to have it all

That's my vision exactly. All the knowledge you would ever need is already out there, probably on page 17 of some forum post. But it'd be a huge to have it all in one place, easily accessible and most importantly, be able to confidently say that it's accurate (the wrong torque on a head bolt could be a $x,000 mistake). Creating a database schema that reflects the manufacturers model naming and options decisions is indeed a complete pain but we're grinding through that. I like your idea of finding a small number of the most passionate enthusiast subcultures and growing from there. Would love to hear more about how this app could help you. I'll send you an email.
