Time for an update I guess. Not much happened over the winter, we spent most of the time working on Brian's Miata to get it better-prepped for this season. I got the transmission back at the end of December and got that reinstalled, then...
Looks awesome!What material did you go with for the 3D printed parts? I've been making functional parts from CF PETG and I see that's outside the engine bay but I'd still be worried about warpage where it touches the heat exchanger. Sooooo...
Here's my setup I put together over the winter:TRE welded 1/2" NPT fittings on the transmission
Setrab 50-619-7612 cooler
Marco UP3 164-020-12 pump
Mocal AF8_240 filter (240 micron)
XRP -8 ProPLUS PTFE hose/fittings
Controlled by RaceCapture...
That's bad ass. I knew someone would eventually get to doing this.If someone would make some molded stick-on cover pieces to go over the window trim, that would be ideal, since I don't see anyone making full on replacements for them.
I spent wayyyy too much time trying to replicate the complete geometry of the 1G Talon / Laser cover. I know it’s not perfect (nominal thickness in the center section is pretty thin) but it’s a decent overall representation.And, certainly, I’m...
I bought the same set you did, just waiting for the day I own another 4G63 powered car to put them on!
Damn how I miss all those forums. So much knowledge was shared.. So glad this site is still around.
I recently decided to let go of 820. It was an awesome car, but I just didn't have time to keep up with it anymore. Luckily, it went to a local enthusiast who already owns another Galant...So basically from one Galant hoarder to another, which is...
That's why I made a point to say that I appreciate people like you Marty. You and all the others who give this place the personality that it has... that help people and provide quality information to others daily. That's what this place is all...
It is already a GREAT PLACE TO HANG OUT CHRIS! ROFL Especially for old farts like me! It is part of my "daily" routine. I am contemplating retirement (YES RETIREMENT, YAY) and ALWAYS have the forum up on my work computer so I will have to...
I check a few other automotive forums from time to time, and there are some that are still VERY active. It's usually a forum that is run by an enthusiast owner, but some of the active ones are owned by larger corporations. Forums are still great...
That will certainly be a challenge. But as you've noticed with Rennlist, it still requires the community as a whole to care enough to keep their discussion topics about Porsches (or in our case, DSMs) in the forums to support the forum's efforts...
Adding to the posts... I am part of another car forum (Rennlist-Porsches), and it's still very active, far more active than the FB Pages.I think part of the challenge here is the vehicle platform is sadly past it's glory years! I don't disagree...
