Jay - so sorry to hear this. I’m off duty until Sunday - phone me if I can be of any assistance p.

Can you rotate the steering rack to change the steering column angle?

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.

Dave- may be worth driving down to Millville for the annual usa7s NJMP gathering.

Does this fit vovchandr’s car???

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.

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.

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.

Hempy to the rescue- site is back up

ill try and contact the SuperUser

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…)

Just take off the top of your pedal box: heat from engine will blow you out of the car

Have you tried Beachman racing in Seattle or BirkinDirect in Eagle? I suspect either can make one from Aluminum.

Put 3m clear bra film beneath & around them. My (albeit aluminum) ones are well sanded. Surrounding clearbra covered pair is unaffected

Double check the Newton catalog: they have different sizes

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.

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.

Sorry for your loss.. Hence you’re 10k rule of thumb I guess?

Congrats! se7en should also be available- was mine until I moved.

(Calling Croc) why a non-pressurized system? I thought we want extra boiling point elevation gained with pressure?

Yes “small” holes ~2-3mm diameter per memory. Will try to measure my spare this afternoon. which gasket/RTV are you referring to? I use RTV on my water outlet-engine as there is no gasket.

FWIW: I fill my system by parking on an angle (my yard) such that the overflow tank is above the return pipe. This is combined with Tom's trick of using a screwdriver to bleed air from the return hose/pipe junction. Years ago when having overheating troubles i also drilled extra holes in my thermostat (someone's advice) and haven't had trouble since. Even though there is already a small bypass I don't know if this helped by addressing an airlock or just increasing coolant flow the necessary amount.

I gave Vlad 5 ⭐️ out of pity

Where are you located? Some of us have B6’s you may be able to try on.

I never had trouble with the sport seats - but like the Tillett better. For road use I expect you’ll be able to use the seat sliders which is very useful. Tall roll bar is also a good choice (I have both...). Same for the cams. I actually found the engine more smooth at idle and easier to start [compared to stock cams with ITBs]. I think you’re going to really enjoy it!!
