The long awaited PT Garage is almost here. It's up and running and I need some people to test it.

It's not complete and I have many more questions to add but, if you can help me test it and are o.k. with possibly losing all the data you enter please reply to this post. I will allow you access to it so you can help test and possibly suggestion questions you might want to see.

Thanks for the help

Nothing with "PT garage". I have a line that says "Ad choices> > muscle car parts >frame auto body >Add garage >The garage" There is nothing in the garage choices when I click on them but ads.

When I'm in the "add garage" or "The garage" Clicking either choice again in that window doesn't give me a form or anything.

I am not able to fill in my wheel width 8.5" it does not accept decimals.
where you use pulldown menu's you are limited to just the options mentioned, maybe if possible also option "other" and then a free text field would be nice

Larry - suspension manufacturers choices don't include RideTech. Other than that it works very for me.

I'm trying to figure out how to ask that question. Some people might have a stock frame with control arms or full out systems. I will work on that tomorrow and how to keep there from being a hundred choices.

Keep in mind that the more drop down boxes the better. It will make searches much more productive but are more difficult to set up. For example if someone searches for Chevy they wouldn't find anyone that entered Chevrolet.

need to add more makes to the drop downs, most definetly Pontiac! otherwise had no real problems adding info

NOT A TA
12-17-2013, 06:46 PM
Maybe rather than try to give drop downs with all the choices conceivable you could just put a box with 100 character limit next to every category like the ones in the trans ratios section. Otherwise there's just too many options needed in the drop downs. This way a guy with a Chartreuse Desoto Firesweep with a swapped in Lincoln V12 sportin a 250 nitrous shot can still fill out the form. If you do decide on drop downs you should probably go through the forum advertisers to be sure each one is listed as an option in their particular category. As an example I have Hotchkis suspension but they're not listed in the drop downs.

At the top of the form you need to make sure where it says allow others to view that it is marked yes when you save. Sometimes it toggles to no when you don't think you did anything.

I added my 2nd car so that worked....besides the missing options in pulldowns (I understand that part and that it's not complete yet) I miss backspacing / ET with wheel info, these are much asked questions on the forums. Also as mentioned before tire size, I think specially with the front suspension and rear axle data this would be valuable info on wheel fitment.

Larry,
I added my car (Conrad's 1984 Buick Grand National) to site last night but it is only available when I go to edit my profile and then the only thing there is the Title. All the details are gone. I added some back in tonight. Hope it doesn't disappear too. FWIW, need to add "200R" to transmission choices, "TA" to header choices, need a dropdown for "Intercooler" for cars with turbochargers or superchargers.

I would like to suggest adding more information in the Front Suspension section such as Mfg/Model of shocks (coilover, single/double/triple adjustable, remote reservoir), Mfg/Model sway bar (OD, hollow/solid, and number of adjusting holes) , Mfg/Model control arms. Same info for Rear Suspension. Also, in Engine Section, add a "Head" section with Mfg/Model, aluminum/cast iron, ported or not, Rocker ratio/material. More later.

Add to HEAD MANUFACTURERS options of "TA Performance" and "Champion Racing Heads". Both companies make engine parts for turbo Buicks and GS Buicks.
Add to EXHAUST MANUFACTURER option of "TA Performance"
Add to TRANSMISSION TYPE option of 200R-4
Add to ENGINE TYPE option of LC2 (turbo V6 for 1984-87 Grand National and Turbo T Regal and 81 Turbo Trans Am Firebird).

In the very beginning of this we would get a new tab when we opened the PT garage. It was convenient in that it allowed switching from the forum to the garage and back without having to wait for pages to reload.

The photos get cropped when uploaded. They are also kind of small if someone wants to look for something in the pics. Is there a way to have it so clicking on the photos would give a full screen image?

Martin71RS
12-20-2013, 11:35 AM
Maybe it would be nice to add a link to the build thread (if you have one in the project forum)? that would solve the larger picture issue John (NOT A TA) talks about.
additional options for pulldowns:
Engine type: I6 , I4, Boxer ??
transmission: Borg Warner T5
(and not tubro but turbo 400 ;-)
front suspension manufacturer: CPP
shocks QA1

Pics setting changes work great! Is there a way you can make the dropdown for model only include the models for the brand chosen in make? Then you could have the make dropdown include all makes and the model drop down wouldn't get out of control. The way it is now, by the time you include every model members own (even if just from the popular makes) the drop down for model will be huge. If not, could you add Wildcat, Firebird, and Malibu to the model dropdown.

That option to modify options in drop downs based on a previous drop down is not something the software will do. Maybe someday it will but not today. I will add the other car models now,

Just went back to try out the picture loading and it is AWESOME! Loading pictures from my iPad has always been a big pain due to the picture file size. I have not updated my project status in ages because I have to do it from my laptop because the iPad photos are just to big. Anyway, if you could make the regular site this easy it would be a really, really nice feature.

for engine management, should this be split into carb or EFI types and Ignition categories(I have a Holley carb, or my propane carb and Mallory Unilite for example)

I did some reading and I am a little confused on what to call it. Offset or backspacing?

backspacing is a different indication and way of measuring than ET... ET is the amount of mm that the mounting face is from the center line of the wheel +number is face more towards outside of the wheel, -number is face more to inside of the wheel. I think you know how BS is measured. So a 7" wheel with ET 6 will translate to BS 4.25" and an 8" wheel ET 6 would be BS 4.75"

since these are 2 different types of measurements it could be a choice.... otherwise just call it backspacing since this is more common in the US.
The formula for ET to BS is: (25.4/ET) + ((wheelwidth+1)/2)

Larry, Can you add MSD distributor & box to engine management and Hooker to exhaust manufacturer please. Can you add sections to transmissions for torque converter manufacturer and management manufacturer for the auto trans crowd, and shifter brand for everyone? In brakes section can you add a section for Line Lock that's a simple yes/no?

Please add following:
To Fuel Management System, add "FAST XFI"
To Torque Convertor, add "PRO TORQUE"
Thank you.

Larry,
Could add "Sun" to gauge selection. Also, how about a "Steering Wheel Manufacturer" with selection to include NARDI? Also, rear brake mfg to include "GM WS6"?

Larry, Can you add an "additional information" to each category? Maybe a box we could type in with say a hundred characters that one could write things like "This is a clone car" or "This is a fastback conversion" if it is in the "Basic Info" section or in "engine" things like "This is a stroker road race set up with blah, blah, blah".

Would you add Accel ignition to management, C-4 and C-6 to transmissions, and number of pistons to rear brakes?

Cool! I just added you as a beta tester.

hi_im_sean
01-03-2014, 07:41 PM
cool im in, first truck!

some of this might be a little nit picky but:

-the GMC choice for S10 should be S15
-add paint colors:
purple, grey, orange, tan/beige, maybe olive drab, pink
maybe add another drop down for metalic, pearl, chameleon, pattern, vinyl wrap, etc
-add mallory ignition
-add patriot exhasut.

acutually heres a short list of exhaust brands i pulled from summitracing
Advance Adapters
AFCO Racing
AFE Power
ATP
Banks Power Gale Banks Engineering
BBK Performance
Beyea Custom Headers
Borla
Classic Performance
DC Sports
Detroit Speed Inc
Doug Thorley Headers
Doug's Headers
Dynatech
Edelbrock
Flaming River
Flowmaster
Flowtech
Ford Racing
Gibson Performance Exhaust
Granatelli Motor Sports
Hedman Hedders
Hooker Headers
Howe Racing
JBA Headers
JR Race Car
Kooks Headers
MBRP Performance Exhaust
Mopar Performance
PaceSetter Performance
Patriot Exhaust
Pfadt Race Engineering
Pypes Performance Exhaust
Quick Time Performance
Rugged Ridge
Sanderson Headers
Schoenfeld Headers
Scott Drake
SLP Performance
Summit Racing
Trick Flow Specialties
Vibrant Performance

in fact for just about most of these drop down manufacturers you can sort through parts on summit, then just copy and paste the brands list?

-add bowtie overdrives to Tourqe Converter Manufacturer drop down
-add a color option to the wheels section
-add custom option for suspension, and/or just a text box
-add 5 point cage, even though i probably the only person with one

thats all for now, pics all uploaded fine for me

Larry,


Convertible? Maybe change into body style…with following choices: sedan, hardtop, coupe, convertible, SUV, pick-up, truck and then number of doors..?

Commetns about engine
Should be Comments

Exhaust…maybe make 1 pulldown for header brand and 1 for exhaust brand (Patriot/flowmaster in my case)

Larry, Please add Mallory ignition to Engine Management.

Can you add a comments box to Exhaust, Transmission, Brakes, Rear End, and Suspension? That would allow people to explain things (like drum brakes, air ride, etc.) not covered by the drop box menus.

Fix spelling of Accessory in Engine section.

Fix spelling of "comments" in Comments about engine.

Change the steering wheel diameter to a box for numeric and add a Comments box for interior so people can explain Vintage Air or whatever..

Would you add an Image box to events so people can put a pic there.

Fix spelling of the word "built" in the builder section where it says "Who built it"

Larry Callahan

Edit: Rad! Thanks for adding me.

Maybe an OEM option for steering wheel.

Is Engine Block Type supposed to describe the cylinder configuration? I see Engine Type lists both makes of engines and cylinder configurations.
