Looks pretty good so far. You do have 1 typo that I noticed:
On Current Specs page:
Horsepower: TBA. Engine is bieng rebuilt. should be being

But that's just me being nitpicky :D Like I said--looks good so far. Oh! and one of your pics isn't linking right:
Your "nearly finished" comes up to "Error 404 - File Not Found" on the graphic-art.ws page

I guess your first choice of www.madtytedoriftomachine.com was taken :(

Oh well, the new site looks awesome anyway.

The overall design is great...

The only suggestion I can come up with is possibly qouting where/how you obtained your mods listed on the specs page.

EDIT: one more thing...try putting the 'site meter' somewhere else...perhaps the bottom of the page? It just doesn't match at all the scheme of the page- just kinda stands out. But I love the new site! :D

bland front page. i dont want to look at anything else

need pics and little stuff here and there.
maybe some interesting background
also seems the front page scrolls WWWWAAY DOWN but nothing and all surrounded by a white border

gallery is ok
reviews will be cool when up
installs seems useful



needs more boobies...

The page scrolls way down because it was the template for the other pages, and installs and the mod list take up that much room.
I have a flash page with about the same information. Would you guys rather have a choice to enter the flash site or the html site?
And as far as "quoting where I obtained my mods listed on the specs page".. what do you mean? I obviously bought them.. but do you want a link to who I bought it from? If so, it's not happening. Untill I get cheap/free stuff, no damn site is getting free referrals from me.

That's what I was getting at... do people want a split page between the flash version and the html version?

ofcourse!

personally i love homepage with 2 versions..
if i want to see moving/cool stuff while browsing some homepage... i'll click the flash version
and if i want to see some info fast/quick.. i'll go with html version (html is still faster to browse)


just make a whole new front page saying
"welcome to my T Y T E homepage or whatever"
and put some more things to make the front page looks cool.. such as backgrounds or whatever
and then at the bottom put some links like
enter (html version)
enter (flash version)
so we can choose whichever version we want...

I agree with the 'splash page' Idea. If you already have a flash page started- just put up a splash screen at your url, with the two choices to enter flashed or html.

on your gallery page, several of the thumbnail link to nowhere

keep it going it'll be great

(agree that more interesting backgrounds would be an improvement)

The picture of you doesn't enlarge, etc.

Otherwise, great site. Can't wait to see your car when it's done.

Woot!
My site is fixed. I've had a few changes, namely an intro, some different graphics, and a sponsorship section. **I actually have a sponsor**.
This site is built, designed, maintained and hosted by J&S Design, and Alan is the contact. He will give great prices on hosting, registration, ect and a *DISCOUNT* to Zilvia members (who is stepping up for you guys?) on web design.

So.. enough plugging.. go to my site and tell me ALL thoughts and opinions and ideas and suggestions!

My domain is www.240sxturbostyle.com .
Go there, click on my sponsors, and there is a link to J&S Design. They have *the* best hosting pricing around. Click the link, and talk to Alan. Tell them I sent you there, and he should work out some deal for you.

Not bad, I like the intro, but you need some work on your choice of font and colors.


I see that you took my suggestion for domain name. ;)

Yea. Now that someone brings those up... the whole page looks dark from the black/slate/purpley color. Alan said it's blue.. but I'm colorblind, and it's my site, so it's purple!
GT SpecR.. I know that you're a web designer... you have some suggestions for font / color scheme?
