Descriptive Thead Titles DO Matter!
Please include enough detail to your thread title to help make the message/question as clear as possible.
No! "04 Cobra.." or "HELP!" These are insufficient and non-descriptive thread titles.
Yes! "My battery keeps dying. Is my alternator the cause?"
Note: The new forum software helps in this area because you can hover over the thread title and read the original post for more info.
It would be very helpful if everyone who starts a thread addressing an issue/problem also posts up the cause and solution after they figure it out. This will help those in the future with a similar problem who might read through the thread looking for the solution. Threads containing both the issue and solution/recommendation enhance the benefits of SVTPerformance to all.
