Default Big THANKS to Theta for How-to's

I want to give Theta a big Thanks for all the how-to's he has posted.
I've been waiting for the C7 service manual...first promised for about April 6th,.. then June 8th...now November 10th.

A lot of us want to be able to work on our cars.. but w/o a service manual it makes it hard to want to jump into a project.

Theta's assistance will make life a little easier for me!

Thanks Theta...

One of a many reasons to become a supporting member in this Forum. Think about how much money we have saved just by his posts. This was my reason a few years ago after another member posted valuable information that saved me lots of $$$$$.

Thanks, guys. To be honest, I figured I'd wake up to "stop cluttering the forum, a-hole" posts.

I'm nowhere close to finished, either.

Really appreciate all the stuff you are posting from the service subscription. I am looking forward to getting the Helms manual whenever it comes out.

Nearly all of us will be buying the bound/paper copy (for several reasons) when it is released in November, but it's been discouraging to many new owners to start projects blindly.

The continued delay disappointed so many that further modding was inadvertently being discouraged.

These posts are (hopefully) in the best interest of furthering the C7 platform.

Well it would be nice if they were consolidated into one How To thread and made a sticky at the top.

We're talking about it in the other posts people had made, and there's a delicate balance of how we need to do it.

Thanks, Theta!

This is great information. Great for the work I attempt myself and great to understand what I have others do on my car.

Wow.

Someone is shooting for the "Top Tech Contributor of the Decade" award.

Awesome stuff. Thanks for the time and resources to pull all this together for everyone. I'm sure it will be very useful for many of us.

I'd recommend putting these all in a sticky post at the top so new users have a "directory" of how-tos
