Still available? I need a spare computer at the shop and this thing is damn near the exact build I did for my main computer. Thanks!

I've been wanting to do one of those for years. How is the body and any idea what he's asking? The 98 mustang im probably getting either way since I'm paying less than scrap cost. But I've always wanted to bull an e36. Thanks for all the posts!

A few years ago maybe. But for now I'm just looking for something to build to be fast, not ironically fast lol. Thanks though. QUOTE=OJdidit1738;1917443]I have an 88 LX Convertible Body, It is pretty much just a shell at this point. Strut tower on drivers side has some rust, front of floors has some rust. Torque boxes are great. No front suspension, or rear, or interior. I was going to do what you have planned but have gone a different route. If your interested in a convertible let me know. I'll have to pass on that one. I've never liked convertibles and I might have already locked in a car if I go with a mustang. A 98 gt. But we'll see.

Are you selling as is or did you pull the motor/trans at some point? Nice looking car, very clean. Thanks.

What year, original na or tt, what rear end and auto or manual from the factory? Thanks!

That sounds like a great roller but is way out of my price range. I'm looking for something to throw together quickly on a budget and then add to it over the winter. On that all I'd really have is engine choice. Thanks!

I'm not too sure. As of what I've been doing I can accurately say to the 0.001" what my oil clearances are. But I'm trying to get to the 0.0001-0.0005". In reality it probably doesn't make a whole lot of difference. I just hate not having the ten thousandths lines on my mic. Side note, I just picked up a 3/8 techangle. So I can finally get rid of my click style torque wrench and angle adapter.

I just did a quick search for inside mics and found tons of them. I'm wondering if we are talking about the same thing or not. I use this right now for inside diameter https://www.amazon.com/Fowler-Warranty-52-646-400-Measuring-Graduation/dp/B000XQ2T1E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488847213&sr=8-1&keywords=fowler+dial+bore+gauge when I searched for ID Mics I found dial bore gauges and actual ID Mics like this https://www.zoro.com/starrett-inside-groove-micrometer-05-to-15-in-701a/i/G4780413/?gclid=CjwKEAiArvTFBRCLq5-7-MSJ0jMSJABHBvp0J1ucI1gceanR5mDBaUXMhXTLQE_bb1IbtEkhi-Fi5xoCcujw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds I just want to make sure we are on the same page because I don't want to make a mistake and buy something that might be considered inaccurate even if it's worked so far. Thanks!

Oh I see what you mean. I wasn't sure if you were meaning ID for actual machining or not. I've been using my current mic setup to zero out my dial bore gauge. It's not the most accurate way to do it but it's been working so far. I guess the next logical step would be to get an ID mic. My only question is how much of a difference would you say there is? I've never used one so I honestly don't know. The way I do it I'm down to the 0.0005-0.001" but it does depend on tool calibration and is also figured out by measuring with a couple different tools and doing some basic math versus doing what you say and measuring with one tool that is actually designed to measure a certain component. The other issue would be measuring journal diameter on certain blocks with everything torque down. I don't see how an ID mic would fit. I'll have to look into it for sure because I'm trying to go to the next level with my engine building and not have any doubts about anything. Thanks for the feedback!

Great, thanks! I couldn't agree more about the calibration but what would be the purpose of the ID mics? I'm only doing engine building. I wouldn't be doing the actual machining. I just want to be able to more accurately blue print and build blocks. Lmk what you mean though, I'm always up to learn new things! Thanks, Brent

Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my engine building tools. I'm looking for the following. -Digital 3/8 techangle or mac 5-100 ftlbs -Dial bore gauge 0.0001 -1-4" micrometer 0.0001" -Dial indicator (0.0001-0.0005) Everything I have been using is working but I hate only being accurate to the 1,000th of an inch. On some builds lately it's been stressing me out with the amount of money that has been going into them. If you have all or anything listed and are looking to sell just hit me up. (614) 625-7296. Thanks, Brent

Hey, I'm looking to do a build for this summer. I have a k24 and a 6.0 to build for this summer so whatever I find first is what I'll build first. If you have a Honda or anything you can easily ls swap lmk. Here are a few examples. -eg/ek civic -dc integra -fox body -sn95 -f body -rx7 I'm wanting a clean roller, no rust unless you're willing to sell for stupid cheap. Going to cage and tub if I go lsx. For the Honda I'm tube framing the front end so I only really care about the back quarters. Thanks!

Sold!

Ok, np. Is the pedal a real variable pedal or more like an on, off, 50% pedal? And have you used it much? I'm trying to figure out if it's something that would be able to weld for a few hours at a time. Thanks!

I changed it and even changed the link but forgot to change it in the post lol. It's changed now

Would you trade it for a car? I need a smaller tig and this would be perfect. I have an old beater '92 integra. If no, what's your bottom dollar price? Thanks!

Hello, I'm finally getting rid of one of my beaters. I've had it for probably 7 or 8 years now and don't have the space or need for it any more. $700 obo CR Price. It runs and drives, has a/c and heat, bmw bottle cap wheels, newer cat back exhaust system, timing belt/water pump done at 182,000 miles. Currently at 202k but will continue to go up by 50 miles per day. I know what I can sell the b18 for and I know the scrap cost so if you're interested make an offer. Thanks! https://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/6013203084.html

Also, while this thread is up. If anyone is interested in working full time or part time or knows someone that is give me a call at (614)625-7296. I'm looking for anyone from lube tech all the way up to master technicians, part time or full time. I'll give anyone a chance. Thanks again!

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I added the majority of them to the list. I'll go over them on Monday with the guys. Thanks again!

Wow, I didn't expect to get this many responses so quickly. I just posted to get it out there. Now for some more details while I have some time. I've been in business for almost 5 years in Dublin just past Perimeter on 33 West. I started out wanting to be a performance shop though it's a difficult niche to just jump into, especially when it was only me at first. So I had to do mostly general repairs along with performance builds when they came up like most small shops do. We work on American, European and Asian vehicles. If I had to pick a specialty it would be engine and transmission builds. We have a great deal with a Local machine shop less than 2 miles from the new shop and we blue print and assemble every engine in house along with every transmission. Besides that we do the general repairs including engine/transmission swaps, head gasket replacement and general maintenance. A sub specialty that we do would be 2jz swaps/builds, head/cam/valve train, custom exhaust, lsx swaps/builds, and Honda's built for going in a straight line and pretty much anything that is required to make anything fast. The new shop is at 3380 East Main st in Columbus Ohio. I like the original name and honestly never planned on getting big enough to need over 10,000sqft of space but I guess I was wrong. I've been in Dublin for a while but a large majority of my customers come from the East side or within 5 miles of the shop. That is the main reason for moving. Most performance builds I get stumble upon a post I've made on a forum or see a car we've built and call in. I'm looking for a name that just works. I've spent hours and hours trying to figure out something but I still just haven't been able to think of anything remotely decent. But Kanye and Kim's baby does have a nice ring to it If you have any more questions please post. I'll post back asap. Thanks again! Brent

Hey, I've been in business for almost 4 1/2 years. I'm moving from NW Dublin area to the East side of Columbus. I'm wanting to do a name change to start fresh in a new area. I'm having issues coming up with a new name and since so many of my customers already know me as Northwest I just continue to go by that but logically it doesn't make sense for new customers. If anyone can think of a good name that we decide to use I will send you a $25 visa gift card. If you can also create a logo as well then I'll pay $100. Anything is appreciated whether we use it or not. I've already posted this on several other forums as well as on my facebook page @ http://www.facebook.com/nwautomotiveperformance Thanks! Brent

Looking to hire 2 more C/D techs. That means basic suspension work as well as fluids, belts and tune ups.

Bump, we have 3 interviews scheduled for tomorrow. But we are still looking for a few qualified technicians that are looking to join a growing company.

I'll give them a call in the morning. Thanks!

Yea, that's incredibly high. The highest I pay is $55 a hook, 10 miles free and then $2-3/mile after that.
