oh and im looking for shift knob ideas. i want something thats unique but cant figure out what i want yet.
-
i thought of something that i think is really cool. i might pull the trigger on pretty soon. what do you think?
-
m one day closer to getting my first ticket in this beast. i can officially drive it legally now.
-
so i got this thing out tonight. im so happy with how this turned out. its also pretty quick for my standards.
-
i guess ill put some pictures up since its been a while.
nothing new just some new pics. ive been driving it more and more to see if any problems will arise. so far everything is pretty well. i had the clutch pedal not come up all the way after driving for a while. and the temp gauge twitches some times. other than that i love driving this thing. it needs suspension really bad. i feel like im driving a boat.
i also broke the motor mount brackets. oops.
-
whoa, nice work! what were you doing when that happened?
Aluminum does not have an endurance limit so any force being applied to it will fatigue it. So either, those arms had a very stressful life, or perhaps your engine wasnt quite sitting straight in the engine bay and the arms saw some forces they dont normally see.
Either way, that pic needs a "Thanks Obama" caption.

Got an update, I got the new brackets in, but after about 20 miles the clutch master cylinder broke. I'm now stranded in a parking lot. I'm starting to get frustrated with this thing.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

That motor is cursed
Lol
Caused Dans car to crash on the highway, ate Jakes fuel pump, and now snapped your mounts and then the master cylinder died
bat signal.
im here.

i ordered a new clutch master cylinder tonight. ive been thinking about just tearing the car down and replacing the majority of it. i want to make it reliable so i can actually learn how to drift, because as of right now i cant really drive it down the road, how is it going to handle going sideways?
