Alex, I have found that the real shortcoming of most any camera(ccd, 1080P), is the monitor. A nice tablet gives a great view. A 7" monitor or a rear view mirror with monitor, not so good. The electrical problems is the reason why I hid the cameras in the side mirrors. The side mirrors...

Something that is being overlooked is the use of tiny cameras. I think the mirrors everyone has mentioned are great looking but marginal for functionality. I have been using small low grade cameras for several years now. I have recently upgraded to the small high quality cameras that are...

Colin, I experienced the very thing you have. Mine was with the FAST ECU. They are different but I think if you investigate your software you may find what we found. What you are seeing (and experiencing) is a change in the timing at the 4K threshold(retard). You won't see it except on the...

The old paint will be removed and I am thinking about adding a nice layer of bed liner to the underside to even out the finish. Of course it will get proper insulation as well. I have the gas shocks on each side and they are 40# units. This allows me to raise the clip with one hand. They also...

Jac, My feelings as well. Bill

This last Friday I took DRB#5 up to Kurgan Motorsports for a Dyno session and final tune. I had spent the last two weeks fixing the few things that were glaringly obvious. A vacuum leak with the intake manifold allowing the O2 sensor to read lean. I also found the change in timing/position of...

Steve, I am a bit befuddled with your post. This thread is about 1063. What is the purpose of posting this sheet here?? Will post the paint color later. Bill

Barry has dine a great restoration of 1063, compared to the photos of it back in the late 60s and early 7os. Here are a few pics of the car just after getting a new paint job. It took several of us to get it back together. I felt the hardest part was resetting the Dzus fasteners(see first photo)...

One thing you left out. What ECU are you using, or are you.If so then you may have a phasing issue with the distributor. This would allow the spark in the distributor to jump to the next cylinder in the firing order which is 90 degrees BTDC and will attempt to turn the engine backwards and can...

Have some questions. Noticed you have the AFR heads. Which size are you running. Did you alter the intake runners to match?? What are the dimensions and brands of your wheels and tires?? Bill

Pete, That is the attitude you should have when trying to decide what color you want your new/old ride. This gives you, the owner, the chance to try out a new color or scheme. It also allows you to see the color over a season or two, to see if you really like it. Not to forget that this gives...

Randy, It is actually not that hard. Excellent video on that. Search on Youtube for "iamthepuzzleman" "Plastidip racing stripes on a Prius". This guy is a real hoot!! He outlines it very well. He saves the last coat for the wet layer and immediately pulls the tape while wet. There is a...

A. J. Two points of interest. Any solvent will affect the finish. It is one of the repairs for Plastiidip if you get a nick in it. They have a video on that one. Also if you get a lot of texture in the finish, spray a layer of pure solvent. allow to dry some(it won't ever dry completely) and...

It was several years ago that I sent my 930 from Atlanta to California. It went air freight and cost just over $100. You should be able to get a quote on line. You have to deliver it to them for that kind of rate. They will off load it from your truck. Used a engine hoist to get it on the truck...

Duncan, Good choice on the engine. Get it checked out and go with the suggestions of the guys doing the work. My suggestions are not for exotic stuff, but stuff easily sourced. For a cam look to Comp cams for a roller hydraulic. No radical lift but something that will fit the rpm band you are...

One of the best experimenters with Plastidip is "The Puzleman" He will outline the methods and proper procedures as well as great places to buy the material. Even show you how to mix the stuff. The owner(I believe) of Plastidip is a guy named Fonzie. He developed the commercial end of the...

Well, Its been two days since I ordered the new boots. Actually I emailed them on Monday and they answered back that night and I confirmed on Monday night. When I got home today there they were. Surprisingly this is what they sent. I could not believe they sent not only the boots but the...

Well, I have jumped into the half shafts in order to get new boots on the trans end of both half shafts. The following will hopefully show others how easy it is done, what tools are needed and the techniques to get it done in a short amount of time. MY terminology may be off so feel free to make...

Have any of you guys had to add sealant around the water inlets to the intake?? The only water lines on the TWM manifold is at the front passage for the 351W. The rears are absent/blocked off. Would that be a good idea to hold the gasket in place particularly at the base as it is only about 1/4"...

Just want to put out some good information on this company. Many years ago during the 11 years it took me to complete the build of my 40. I purchase a set of axles for my 930 trans. Fran Hall suggested I use this company, and i followed his advice. Just recently after about ~2000 miles on the...
