tinman and i have a date if he so wishes (should be a good one)

 

As long as the weather is good, the gray car will be out

Redrill the plate and turn it 90 degrees.

I don't think Brandon has it. Maybe it's at a non CR friends house.

I loaned one of my engine stands out to someone and can't remember who. I don't need it back, I'm just curious as to where it is.

 

Thanks, Matt

A 15/16 will be fine, it's only 1/64" or 15.6 thousandths larger. The only effect it will have is the male threads will engage just a hair deeper. BTW how thick is the material that you are drilling and tapping? If it is less than 3/16" you should use a weld on bung.

That's an odd size, might be hard to find even at a machine shop. A 15/16" might be easier to locate, just how accurate does the hole need to be?

Largest I have here is 3/4. But when I have needed larger in the past I first used a compass to mark the hole, drilled out as large as possible, used a carbide bit to enlarge, and then cleaned up the hole with a small flapper wheel.

 

If you can't find a bit, your welcome to use the above of mine.

I figured it was a Canadian thing but wanted to make sure. Mine has it and I didn't remember seeing it on the US cars..... Is there any other differences between the Canadian and US versions?

 

thanks!

 

Just the speedometer as far as I know.

All cars built for Canada have had daytime running lights for quite some time now.

I drive through that cluster fuck twice a day, can't wait for it to be done. Judging by the picture, they still have a lot of earth to move

I might cruise up from here in Johnstown.

Eli, I bet I still have more cup holders than you

 

Any car with cup holders was never meant to pull more than 1/2G

A couple of blocks south of the water tower.

I was also there in the red WS6. The car sounded mean. I would have loved to run you but the road were not agreeing.

 

We'll have to try it this weekend

so you got it back in the car were you able to get what you wanted done with it??

 

Nope Didn't even pull it out of the car this winter.

I was in the Red VW we just bull shitting with the guys in the TA's, Is that an LS1 swap?

 

Sounds badass,

 

Thanks.

 

It's not an LS1, just an old school circle track small block.

Dammit Matt, you shoulda called me. I'd have cruised up with you in the Formula

 

Sorry man, last minute decision. I'll call next time.

Made it out after all. Didn't get a chance to talk to anyone, just BSing with Keith the whole time. Didn't see any competition anyway

Streets are soaked out here, I'm out for this evening.

I'll be at the thrift store with the SB2.

Sounds like a good plan. I'll try to remember to ask Jimmy what shocks he used and where he got them.

 

The axle brace I was speaking of on drag cars is made from either a split piece of tubing or a channel that runs across the back of the housing from end to end. Probably not beneficial to off roading just high torque launches.

Tubing for the axle housings? Are you planning on making some housing braces similar to what most drag cars run on the backside of a 9"

I can cut some for you on Monday if that is not too late.
