Actually I wouldn't mind owning a Prius for a daily driver and why can't you have the best of both worlds? Hybrids are the future, of course I wouldn't trade my GT for one but why not have both? Porsche hybrid 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid - Car News And Reviews on AutoMild.Com Mitsubishi...

looking for a 10-31 (3.10) ring and pinion for a G50-05 Powerhaus II in CO has closed doors since I last shopped there any recommendations?

this is what I did, using only existing window mount holes. After all the body work didn't feel like drilling new holes in the body used the bullets in aluminum, most of the originals had bullets in chromed steel.

Specifically as related to a GT40 chassis you want square for most of the chassis to facilitate panel attachment and round for the roll cage for strength. when you compare square and round a 1.5" square will be stronger than a 1.5" round because of more material in cross section. But round is...

aircraft spruce is online here's some pages from the insulation and soundproofing sections Insulation from Aircraft Spruce Soundproofing from Aircraft Spruce

finally got my body painted and it's going back together so I'm in for this summer and looking forward to it.

I used "Cool It, Thermo Tech" from Aircraft Spruce for the back deck good to 2000 deg F, and the black fire resistant aircraft foam for the passenger compartment, very light. Dynapad is a little heavy and don't think it's fire resistant. Same with Reflectix, that plastic has bad fumes when it...

For the patterns there's double thick poster-board. another step you could do when putting the sealer on is to scuff the contact areas on the chassis and the panels where the sealer goes with a scotch-brite pad to give it a little bite for the sealer to grip. when cutting an inside corner...

I'm in error then, was confusing suspension travel with shock travel 2" shock travel isn't excessive and is more for racing, 3 would be more for street. It's going to be a stiff ride but should minimize the bump steer. Another place to adjust bump is where the tie end connects to the...

I got lucky and found a 4x12 sheet of 7075-T7 .083" at Boeing surplus. You can put very slight bends in it. That an equivalent of .160" in 6061-T6.

5052-T3 .050" thick T6 is overkill because all the HAZ are going full soft anyway and T3 is easier to bend. .120" ?? Overkill. What kind of "tank" are we building? One for fuel or the kind with treads and gun barrels? Agree with the foam, just do a little research and find something...

One full revolution of the needle is 1/10". Set it down on the bench alongside a ruler and push the plunger till it does one turn and look at the travel distance. So those are thousandths readings which are in the ballpark. Like 2" = .050", 1" = .012" That's kind of a lot of travel for a...

might not get too many answers unless the manufactures are weighing them. My scratch build chassis came in at 270 lbs fully sheeted. Total car weight wet with 5 gal gas was 2170 lbs.

For the nostril you can bolt the dzus fasteners if you don't want to rivet. On mine I used 6-32 internal hex stainless and tapped threads in the fiberglass, there's very little force on these fasteners. The only issue is where the wire part of the fastener goes on the front clip. Should it be on...

Have to agree with Sid. I'm a tech and have about 25% Snap-on stuff. You have to look at each tool on an individual basis. When it comes to hand tools, like wrenches, sockets, pliers nothing beats Snap-on. And there was a time when they had the best dealer coverage but I think the bad economy...

Uhh, define "rich" because these two statements are probably diametrical opposites. depending on how much of it you build yourself, come up with an estimate of how much you think it will cost and how long it will take. And then double those figures. the only saving grace of it taking a long...

Thinking about twin racing stripes down the center. Noticing that when a line is run from front to rear centered on the car it doesn't center on various features like the NACA duct that's in front/center of the windshield. So do you center on features or center overall on the car?

Re: Distributor gear fail I'm running one, they have to be broken in with non-synthetic oil, seems to be working okay so far but only 250 miles. the oil pump/distributor drive is a weak point in these motors, the shaft is too thin When building my motor I was going to go with a high perf...

The Gen7 ECU has one water temp controlled output that turns the rad cooling fan on and off. It has another AUX output that can be switched between a shift light and a 2nd temp controlled output. I have it set to a shift light, so would have to disable that to run it as a water temp warning...
