suggestions for reviews section
I was extremely excited when you first added the reviews section to the site... there are several subaru parts reviews sites out there but most of them suck, and yours is definitly very well set in the right direction.
as soon as I saw it up I added all my after market parts to the listing and was sure to give good discriptions/pictures/honest reviews....
however there are a lot of suggestions I have for it.
-First and formost there are A LOT of missing catagories and I'm not talking a whole separate catagory for exhaust hangers or something I mean you're missing a catagory for GAGUES, and BOVs those are major selling items for a WRX and they should definilty be in the reviews section... I imagine not having those catagories available people dont think to post there reviews about them (I'll get to a more complete list in a minute)
-next there are a lot of empty reviews posted. I dont know how these slipped through the cracks or maybe they were edited and emptied after they were submitted but just skimming through I came across 8 reviews that had 0 content out side of a title... not very good... similarly there are a few double posted items like 2 listings for the same momo shift **** and a few other items
-finally I think when someone posts a review they should post where they got the part... I know that if I see someone who got it for $100 less then list I want to be damn sure I go to the place where they went.... especially with autoparts it's difficult to shop for prices because there is no "price grabber" or "my simon" for the aftermarket dealers. so something like that would definitly be cool.
ok now for a more complete list of the sections (and this is just my personal suggestion) of what should be added.
catagories:
Exhaust:
-------
looks perfect ")
Drivetrain Components:
---------------------
Pulleys
Differentials
axles
Misc catagory (fluids bushings adapters etc)
Syspension Components:
---------------------
end links
strut tops
control arms
Misc Suspension components (bushings, bolts, etc)
Intake System components:
------------------------
BOV/DV (not sure if this would be better under turbo)
Turbochargers:
-------------
maybe this should have sub catagories of
turbos/kits
boost controlers
turbo timers
blow off valves
waste gates
Brakeing System Components:
--------------------------
Misc or maybe a fluid catagory?
Cooling System Components:
-------------------------
not sure but something is missing oil catch can /cooler maybe
Engine Management & Electronics
------------------------------
gagues (maybe should be in interior)
turbo timers (maybe should be under turbo)
boost controlers maybe should be moved under turbo
Wheels:
------
looks good
Tires:
-----
looks good
Interior:
--------
gagues
gague pods
interior trim
steering wheels
seats
interior bracing
misc components (rearview mirrors, etc)
Exterior:
--------
body kits/parts from kits
grills
mirrors
hoods
scoops
Fuel System:
-----------
fuel pumps
other components (filters etc)
Vendors:
-------
encourage the venders to add themselves here
Dealers:
-------
again encourage them to list here
Missing catagories:
--> Audio system / alarm components?
--> Car Care/Cleaning Components?
maybe others?
once again... you're definitly in the right direction way ahead of the other sites (this feature alone makes you better than nasioc) but theses few things I mentioned could be improved....
