Title: Month by month reliability poll.
Post by: Hi RX7 on October 05, 2008, 11:54:47 AM
Would it be of any interest to owners here to do a monthly poll on whether their cars are running or not running just to give a month by month reliabilty picture.
Something like this format could be used.
Its been running sweetly since....
Its running sweetly this month
Its not running right
Its not running at all due to an annoying technical fault
Its not running at all because of major engine failure
 
By the end of each month some kind of figures can be drawn up just to see how the cars on this forum are running in general.
If anyone can think of any other catagories that could be added to give an even better assessment

Just FD or split over RX8/FD/FC/FB/Old Skool?
I only ask because some of the older car forums are quiet and this poll would possibly be a reason for some people to check in to the club?

Dependent on miles too, the FB has done about 10k miles in the past 12 months without missing any major beat. Until now refusing to idle !

Yes mileage should be a consideration, if this is to embrace all models then those with the V8 transplant should also be able to post on it too, although they should try not to rub our noses in it too much because I\'m sure the reliability issues on the V8 are miniscule. Also if you do your own repairs or use a tuner.
 
Can anyone who is good with computers do one of those poll type templates as I am not too computer literate.
