Hey Faeflora

this thread is too long to be a useful place to learn from, can you do a single post summing up the data you aquired? I'd love to see all the final data/pictures/ext.

And how will you compensate me for this information? Here is an introductory statment to help you bid accordingly:

Is a car still a carriage if it does not carry anyone? If one is interested in experiencing G forces in their car, should one aim for the average G forces sustained over time, or strive for peak Gs? Say you have something you love and enjoy. Will you love it more if you cut out its heart and replace all of its organs with subjectively better ones? Will you love it most if you fry its brain with a knitting needle and enscone it in a glassine palace of stasis? In college, I shared my murder-ideating poetry with a girl. She told me that to kill something is to possess it. Eternally. Is this what you should do with something you love? Let's talk about these things. Come on, get in the back of my 1989 dodge grand caravan. It has a cloth ceiling for you to look at and it has cookies. I even have a cookie flavored like a birthday cake. Yes, yes, I know you like birthday cale. Thank you for getting in. Now. If you eat enough cookies and get nice and soft and squishy, the way I like. Then, when we are prepared, I will tell you the story of Faeflora.

I've been eating a lot of chips, jerky, and pizza, so I'm getting nice and fat. Maybe I could check out that cloth ceiling...

Jk. I'm a top.

I completely understand why it is taking Savington so long to get out down pipes. Clearance is tight back there.

Is it the camera angle or is that downpipe really close to the brake line?

It is really close. I will be bending the brake line some to get more clearance and then building a heat shield some how. This is purely a street car, so it won't ever be subject to what a track car goes through.
