i'm not talking window screen, but more like 1/4" screen. something to keep gravel from wedging itself in your pads. you should have plenty of air pressure at speed to overcome airflow issues. especially with the "loose" screen.

 

die, bitch.


V-band toys arrive friday, then "Sprayed" is making the IC pipes and mating the exhaust, then I have to get it to Exatorq's dyno for tuning (which is likely to be 30-45 minutes) then drive the everliving **** out of the car on the street before Hallett for a shake-down.

4-of us put the motor, oil cooler, rad, basically we did everything to get the car to run again tonight. None of those ******* ever come to my god damn apartment to help me...except for Johnwag who I owe.

 

wouldn't the gravel that can get stuck in a caliper necessitate a really "tight" screen?

 

feel free to throw my manifold in the micropolisher at any time. I want to be able to put on a lexan hood so I can floss and make fun of people with studs.

 

Good. I could have sworn I saw you driving today in Keller. I had a BRG with a big FMIC following me on the bike. Turned out to be some old dood with his kid.

Get your **** together so we can race

 

it's a compromise. the large screen will impede a lot of stuff.

anyway, i wouldn't sweat it unless that race car pictures and technology website you love shows it on a few cars.

 

ghetto yet effective oil cooler duct is ghetto and may prove to be effective

 

Not going to be able to; there's a big batch of steel rockers being done the beginning of this week. Sucks cause I didn't even wirewheel the pipes before I welded them thinking I could do the fancy stuff at work. Oh well, just cosmetic.

I do not like being rushed, you can see it in the quality of the welds (I didn't take pics of the inside of the pipes for a reason ). And I had to redo the larger double slip twice. But the welds willl hold or I will fix or give Hustler his money back...i'd love to run this setup on my car.

This is only half of it. I have to make this all over again for thesnowboarder. Then a nice long break, maybe do an intake or finally turbo meg's cooper. Now it's time to finally &

 

Tim,
I'm sorry to put the rush on you, but I'm a simple man and I really want it for the hallett event, informal miata challenge the next weekend, NASA TT the weekend after that. i think its pretty bad *** that you put in the long-hours this weekend just so I could put a smile on my face.

Thanks

 

I really want you to have it for the Hallett event too. If not I would have said...no? hehe. The double slips gave me more grief that I though they would, and I ran out of argon, that's all. I have a spare smaller tank for my MIG but it made it tricky to purge; lotza melted ducttape everywhere. Not as pretty as usual but it's fine. You run mild steel IC pipes.

 

that downpipe looks rediculously nice

 

Well, that is until I find a fabricator to box my heat exchangers.

I've never had anything this nice before.

 

is it the "baller" edition because it's made with little diamonds on the welds?

that looks very pretty tim, nice work. even rushed.

 

Whats that i see in the background?

 

the other twin love-child.

 

Tim you make that look easy! All I need is a bunch of pipe, a head flange, and I already have my $9.99 HF angle grinder, and $80 flux core MiG welder. So I'm good to go, right? Did I miss somewhere that explains why you're using double slip joints? The whole downpipe looks much more complicated than Sav's, was he using a v-band attachment opposed to your springs?

 

Damn that is a piece of art!

 

Sav has open dump, Hustler and I have street driven cars so we opted to recirculate ours. Correct me if i am wrong Tim/Hustler but from the looks of it, I would guess this one deletes the cat too?

Whats the reasoning for the squares?

 

I'm nursing a semi after looking at the DP photos.

Also, just to **** you off, Trey, I'll tell you that I thought about putting my oil cooler there, but decided that I'd rather not have it get media blasted the first time I decide to play Farmer John (I go off at least once per day).

 

I'm running a cat because I want it to be extra quiet.
gussets make the welds stronger.

If this stuff works, I'll get my heat exchangers boxed and get it out from under there.
