Carbon fiber is scary when it's broken. Add a item to cause it to splinter and launch with force and it's evil.I concur it shouldn't happen from a safety standpoint.
Where can I hook up a trailer winch on my Talon. The rear of the car is poking out of the side of my house and I'd rather not push it (not running at the moment) out from the dirt path on the side of the house.Preferred is the rear but where is the front factory points? Not looking for a JDM...
I have carbon driveshafts in the 12,000 horsepower prop plane I fly on. They are fine.Also the driveshaft shop makes 1 piece carbon fiber shafts for cars. It's not anything crazy.I may be losing something in translation with regard to prop shafts?
I think where envisioning automotive circles with he 3d tech is a service where you want a link or a bracket or a vent or whatever and it's no longer available. You send it to Johnny's 3d Inc and for a small fee he renders it and prints it for reproduction. This is a community based idea and I...
At this point there is a wealth of tools at a DSMers reach.3d printing is the next new thing. Image you need a bov gasket, flange or just the bov itself? Print and build. Say you want a solid motor mount....click, print....beer.. sleep and install in the morning. You think it's silly but the...
I have personally junked OEM parts because I couldn't even give them away. I have junked everything from a tcase to fuel rails and even a 94 chassis.Looking back, I wish I didn't junk out any of that because parts cars and crushed DSMs make me sad. I'm on my 4th one now and only have it as a...
I have a 90 harness to put in, I want to put a short route fmic, intake, tune it and boost 20-25 lbs and just have fun man! Be nice to run 11.9 and I think it's probable with the mods I have.
So there's alot to do... Boost leaks everywhere... Hacked up wiring... Hacked body panels(firewall and the wing) mirrors don't work and it has half done mods everywhere.Lots and lots to do!
So it all started with late night searching on Craigslist . I had a 06 Kawasaki motorcycle I built after it was dumped and rebuilt it. I offered to trade for this gal and after some negotiation, we brought her home.
Hey all, so I picked up a 1990 Tsi with more problems then I can count. The plus side is it's got no rot, just surface rust on a few small areas. The idea for this car is I was to have a car I can drive on the weekends to bring a smile to my face. I work in the Marines and spend 60+ hours a week...
Also just saw a 92 Tsi with a shattered trans and destroyed basically everything on the passenger's side engine compartment. The flywheel broke and grenaded. I'm now sold on shatter shields.
I read that the punishment one was the same as the cx one just two different distributors.I want a type s bov and was going to get a ngr one after reading the reviews on it. I have a 1g bov on my shelf but miss my authentic greddy I had back in the early 2000s on my 91.
I normally wouldn't but a hot rod magazine build used one of the cx kits and said good things so I was thinking the quality had gone up for the China stuff.
Check the oil attachment points on the turbo. See where the oil is coming from. It's likely in the turbo bearing area since you disturbed the lines in the install.Coolant you can loop. Don't block it off.Is this turbo out of a 12v Cummins or is it new?
So I did a boost leak test today (car is idling at 1800 rpm, can't get it any lower and I'm s.d. with a 10.0 afr) and my intercooler, couplers, a pipe and the bov are all leaking.The intercooler is a spearco unit and has two threaded holes in the driver's side. I ran two bolts in and it's not...
I'm not sure why it wouldn't display if the ECU is reading the 0-5v signal. I'm not familiar with the software but the may be a lambda or AFR gauge tab you're missing? Hopefully someone can chime in
If you're looking for a wideband gauge on the cheap, summit racing takes the aem uego and puts their logo on it and it's under 200.…i have both. Also have an lc1, there is no difference in them in my opinion.
It's not hard to do your own. Napa sells the straight sections so you don't have to straighten a coil and the flare/bender are under 40 bucks.If it's the rubber line, I'd look at going to braided lines
Just like 91-GS said, the colors will be more vibrant. The LED, depending on what angle you get (but most 194 bulbs are just a basic 120° field of view) will be brighter than a traditional filament bulb. They will make whatever tint they shine through a brighter, usually lighter (due to age and...
