I missed that the very first day it was changed. I kept looking in the middle for links, but couldn't see any. Now, it's looking pretty sweet. This forum upgrade is bad ass.
Yeh, I was able to find the forums when my mouse cursor accidently went over the chronograph. Only then did I figure out there were links in that pic. Although it was slightly difficult to find, it sure looks cool.
If you knew where the old navigation was and how it looked im sure you would be smart enough to at least move your mouse over the old spot...considering the chrono has words around it, not that hard. If you didnt know now you do. Its on the chrono. Keep it up tony its tight.
Phase 1, add a white layer with proper opacity atop the distracting background (3 chronographes and MPH markings). Maybe even a little bit of blurring. After that's done, you can make the menu titles a bit more prominent.
Phase 2, in addition to the mouse-over you have now, you can make the tach needle swings to whatever menu item being highlighted.

Haha, no. I'd have to cut out the needle and shadow - which isn't the worse part. Then I'd have to change at least two images of the four since to make the needle move since the needle crosses at least that many images.
What I may do is replace the entire top bar with a flash animation.
Right after I posted this I figured it out. Felt a little stupid once I did.
It's a cool idea. I think all it needs is a little more contrast between the links and the background so they stand out.
The moving needle idea would be unreal, I'd love to see that, but you'd probably have to go with flash to pull it off really well. If it was done in Flash you could add some engine reving event sounds, OK enough already, I'd never get any work done.
Flash navigation opens up a whole different can of worms I don't think you want to deal with though.
Clever idea overall, especially for the nature of the site.
Okay so I just had a mechanic install an HKS Dragger II exhaust that was brand new (I initially was going to do it myself but was persuaded otherwise) on my 2001 IS300 and am hearing what sounds like a tin can rattling behind my car between the speeds of 5 and 15 mph only while I am coasting...
I know this has been asked heaps. But they always delete the answer or close the thread. I locked my Fob and Key In the boot. A lot of forums say there's a trick to get the boot open wit out the key. Can some one tell me how or PM me how thanks heaps x
I've always wanted to have an IS300, but I wanted one in good condition with a factory manual. After a bit of searching, I found one for sale in Atlanta with 195k miles. High mileage, but very well maintained. Has every option available in 02 - full leather, nav, LSD, manual. Mods were minimal...
