  1. 1) Have you tried one of those viscous aluminum powder radiator leak stop solutions? 2) have you replaced your O2 sensor? Last time I got re-tuned we discovered my sensor was giving intermittently erratic readings
  2. John. Bruce came last year.
  3. Tom what is the COVID - dining room situation regarding lunch/breakfast?
  4. It would seem to either be spark/fuel to #4. any way you can swap all (coil/injector/wire) for #4 with another cylinder and see if that one stops working to narrow it down? good luck... seems its the last 1% of this herculean adventure screwing it all up.
  5. Jay - I have a menagerie of spares. call me tomorrow p.
  6. I too have broken that seal in the name of 11th hour Se7en repairs
  7. Jay - so sorry to hear this. I’m off duty until Sunday - phone me if I can be of any assistance p.
  8. Can you rotate the steering rack to change the steering column angle?
  9. I’ve camped in the field there on more than one occasion. Weather will be good this time of year. Afterwards you can go over to cape may for a day or two.
  10. Dave- may be worth driving down to Millville for the annual usa7s NJMP gathering.
  11. Does this fit vovchandr’s car???
  12. Jay - if you don’t get it sorted let me know. I’ve probably got enough stuff laying around the arts pile to get it taken care of.
  13. You’ll have plenty of help Friday afternoon. Karting is fun, but you’ll have plenty of volunteers to get a head start on weekend repairs.
  14. Crisis averted- after searching I found the needle in my haystack: a gremlin (who still has unanswered questions) in my camshaft position sensor plug on the engine wiring harness. After a little futzing the engine seems to be back to normal again. One huge advantage of building your car is being intimately acquainted with every part of the car. When things break or malfunction there is a repair advantage. I look forward to seeing everyone at Thunderbolt.
  15. Hempy to the rescue- site is back up
  16. ill try and contact the SuperUser
  17. And, like that: . I’ve joined V. While trying for a pre-storm blat today the Engine started intermittently stuttering/skipping. After interrogating the ECU and many circles around my neighborhood the miss counter is rising and there is an unassociated irregularity in the trigger sensor curve. For 10min I thought I had it sorted with a new sensor. Sadly it reoccurred at 15min. (to be continued…)
  18. Just take off the top of your pedal box: heat from engine will blow you out of the car
  19. Have you tried Beachman racing in Seattle or BirkinDirect in Eagle? I suspect either can make one from Aluminum.
  20. Put 3m clear bra film beneath & around them. My (albeit aluminum) ones are well sanded. Surrounding clearbra covered pair is unaffected
  21. Double check the Newton catalog: they have different sizes
  22. 2 - CHMSL: <Custom Dynamics Universal Light Bar 24 LED Light Bar ST6126ARACPT> I drilled two very small holes for the wires & ran them through roll bar to a connector for rollbar removal/exchange. 10 - (see other thread this week) replaced gas filler cap with one from Newton Mfg. <https://www.newton-equipment.com/>, search for mocal in florida for catalog. 11 - [you've likely see this already] have bed-lner/lineX spraywed on underside of wheel arches. it will mitigate cracking from stones.
  23. Congrats!! A few late night thoughts: I’m not sure if things have changed much but I didn’t have much riveting to do. 1- you'll probably need to make the modified socket to tighten the headlight with room for the wires. 2-wiring in a CHMSL to the roll bar. 3- 12v marine plug on the console or beneath the dash gets constant use for GPS. 4- i epoxied big heads fasteners to the trailing edge of front fenders to fasten lexan mud flaps (significantly helps with gravel accumulation). 5- I like to raise the engine/gearbox assembly off a dolly into position with a chain hoist: much easier than trying to tip it in from above. 6- AN fittings for all fuel connections. 7- 3m paint protection film on rear arches/front of nose cone. This stuff is amazing!! 8- dykem torque heck would have been handy. 9- a neodymium magnet taped to a long dowel for retrieving dropped bits.
  24. Sorry for your loss.. Hence you’re 10k rule of thumb I guess?
