    For the money the swag bandsaw is amazing. Here are some pictures from last week. I use the bandsaw to cut coconuts in half for my Boy Scout troop. We then drank the blood from the coconuts And roasted their meat over the fire. Tomorrow the boys are going to paint the coconuts to make jewelry...

    A big shout out to Earl. Although I’m not going to be using his amazing hand built headers, I simply could not stand watching them rust here in storage so I had them sandblasted and ceramic coated. They are a work of art. Now that I have put the oil coolers in the rear diffuser I am truly all...

    I use some 2 1/2 inch silicone hose slices To help locate the oil colors as seen in the picture. I just got one of these metal bandsaw’s from grizzly and I can’t understand how I survived without one for all these years. It made this aluminum work so much easier. I am using a 1 inch bandsaw...

    The oil cooler amount is made from 3 inch outside diameter aluminum c channel For the sides and 3 inch for the top piece. The top of the oil cooler bracket can be removed without unscrewing the hoses from the oil cooler.

    I went with Stephen’s idea of putting the oil coolers in the rear diffuser. They really do fit well here but the problem naturally is that the splitter is somewhat compromised with the airflow being disrupted by the oil coolers. On a positive note the brackets for the oil cooler is greatly...

    https://www.circletracksupply.com/c-r-racing-oil-filter-bypass-mounts.html The oil filter mount I’m using requires that you manually select how much oil will be flowing to the oil cooler. You have to do it manually. Most of the time I will probably have it just slightly on to aerate and then as...

    I started making some brackets for the dry shampoo oil tank and to hold the oil filter and oil cooler diverting valve. To attach the brackets I’m using some racing 2 inch aluminum clamps. They are absolutely solid. With these clamps you can move items Around and easily remove them.

    solid work again I went with the Krontec also. I love this device. no play at all in this quick release. besides locking up solid, the mechanism on this release disengages quick and smooth.

    a month before i bought my SLC from earl I was test driving a low millage 2017 Porsche c4s at a dealership in San Diego. As I was racing this car up and down the highway I was making a list of all the mods I would make to the car. I was planning to tear the car apart like my last Porsche (04 911...

    I thought about putting a filter on top the intake. Until the fabricator welder can mock up the 8 into one, I dont want to limit the space on top the manifold. he may need that space. i measured carefully last night. I t would be difficult to get an elbow on the stock manifold if the throttle...
