    I've finished going through the 1000+ thread listings in the MK6 forum and I've index what I think are the important threads and posts. I didn't literally re-read all 1000+ threads 52,000+ posts though, so if I've missed something, or if anyone has suggestions about better ways to lay things out etc, please feel free to suggest them.

    I've also clean up the previous submissions and suggestions posts here as I've incorporated them above.
    Thanks to the following people for submitting threads, posts and sugestions:
