For what it's worth, I'm glad you're posting again. I wonder how well that appliance epoxy will hold up - usually refrigerators don't get left outside and driven in the rain where I live. Eastwood has some cool spray paint now that somehow does something magical and lets you have ceramic spray paint (only seems to be Chassis Black so far). That might be a cool finish if the appliance epoxy doesn't work out. http://www.eastwood.com/paints/2k-aero-spray-paints.html

You should try throwing those brains at some paint to check if they stain.

You would think it wouldn't be hard to find an S13 with a crooked chassis. I bet I could throw a rock at the nearest trailer park and turn up four. Oddly, a bunch of the local ones on Kijiji have at least one missing front fender. WTF is up with that?

Having never driven one, I can assume from this evidence that they understeer pretty bad when stock and amateur drifters slide along their parents' gated community forecourt before wimping off the throttle, snapping back to grip and then target-fixating directly into a curb or fire hydrant?

I think 80s Bounders are a Chevy 454. They're built on a Chevy P30 chassis like most 80s motorhomes. The usual motorhome maintenance nightmares apply: cooling is extremely fun. Motorhomes combine the best expensive problems of domestic American work vehicles with the best expensive problems of owning a house.

I kinda get where you're going with this. Big blocks are interesting as hell from an old-tech perspective and just how stupid easy it is to make obscene power with even a sneeze in the direction of modern technology and/or a flowbench.

Your shop updates are always really cool, so keep posting them along with the weld porn. Any shots of the Z after blasting but before priming? I assume welding bodywork patches aren't really a difficult concept for you at this point.

I'm sure all eight NSX owners under the age of 60 will be clamoring at your doors to get their own American-skilled-labour-priced exhaust fabricated.  Just pay the loving man, you drive a 90s supercar and surely that won't be the most expensive purchase you make for it. Nice whiteboard. I agree, there's just something about them...

Replace the flywheel, don't bother resurfacing. I doubt you need a new rear main seal, probably just need to replace the oil separator plate with a later steel or aluminum item. Group N is all that I've ever run; besides a general dislike of Megan Racing products the description of the product linked is wrong about a lot of stuff (mixing up Legacy, Impreza and STI facts, JDM vs. USDM confusion, misidentifying the application span). It's not a terrible price though. I'd check the vibration with and without the stock dogbone mount to see if the harder durometer is annoying. That helmet should be fine. Opt for post-04 WRX wagon springs and struts; the spring perch changes between 93-03 and 04+ (with other changes to tophats) so you'll get more spring options with an 04+ spring perch. You need to put bigger sways on this thing as well. Not sure what you have to do for rear tophats on an SF. I strongly suggest an ALK, though a lot of it depends on what class you're aiming for. General maintenance, in a hot climate I'd be looking at the coilpack, wires and plugs to be replaced. OEM air filter is usually good enough with the Subaru airbox design.

Sudo Echo posted:I had to go look up why in the world that has a headphone port on it: That's actually more or less the standard for knock ears. Even standard car knock sensors are just big coil microphones that the ECU checks for a pattern match to a "known knock" signal (in non-performance car cases, specially tuned to only hit a certain voltage when it sees knock that's bad enough). 3.5mm makes a hell of a lot of sense to me, sorta surprised that's not the OEM design on at least one car.

Computer viking posted:My mom had a well-used Porsche 944 that killed its (stock) ECU after being parked in the rain with a leaky targa roof. I guess they didn't expect people to mistreat it like that. Same with pretty much every 80s Audi. Any leak means water pools in the passenger floorboard, where the ECU lives. Connector first, too!

Whenever I've resurfaced a flywheel on a Subaru I've always had tons of clutch chatter. I don't know why, and it's probable that I'm full of horseshit or imagining things, but after a few jobs I've always just bought a fresh one. But it sounds like you put a new one in, so whatever (and your "hose the flywheel down with brake cleaner" method is what I did last time and it worked fine). Is your flywheel inspection plate missing? Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Jul 9, 2014 |
