    Is the Carbon Emissions /Global warming thing B.S.

    The enviros made a big mistake emphasising global warming. I think they did it because it was a concept that was easy to grasp and thus easier to get everyone behind. There are many other problems more serious but not as readily apparent or "glamorous". the big 3 that I see. 1. species...

    ideal weight for steel tube space frame?

    .063" is not that hard to weld. One trick with MIG is to stop and start during the weld, don't move the torch out of position just let off for a second or so, let it cool and start again. You can tell by the color, when it starts to get bright white it's time to let off. You need to get over...

    Roll cage questions

    I'm not positive but I believe it's 1-5/8"x .125wall. I was going to go to the salt flats, they have pretty strict rules. Another one is the Silver State Classic, they have different speed classes. The worst thing is the fuel tank, you have to leave space in the spare tire area, the original...

    ideal weight for steel tube space frame?

    I checked the records, my chassis is 375 lbs with all the sheeting. I spent 1 year cad drawing starting with measurements from an Integrity chassis and a MK-V. "would reducing the 2"x3" to 1.5" square really make any difference anyway" 50 lbs is a lot on a race car and you'd save more than...

    ideal weight for steel tube space frame?

    "2"x3" 11 gauge" this is not a Cobra. With a GT40 tube frame the main beaming strength front to rear is accomplished with a triangulated section of 1.5"x1.5" tubing 10" high. Compared to a Cobra with 2"x4" tubing and that's it. In other words a 10" high cross section in the main force direction...

    RCR #010 Build Progress

    It only made it one mile. Guessing those pins were only finger tight. Concur too with the mention to use red Locktite. Also concur with rolling engine off to check for noises. Noise is one of the primary ways of finding problems, and these things are so noisy engine on you can't hear problems...

    New ideas, new problems 2008

    The NWO can't have the citizenry armed, it will conflict with their takeover, like the initiation of the NAU. (get ready for the Amero) Hence the trial gun grab in New Orleans after Katrina under the NWO bushies. YouTube - NRA: The Untold Story of Gun Confiscation After Katrina

    That side-to-side cable doesn't look like it's centered too well, almost looks like it's near to binding.

    5 point harness mounting

    Not really, if you use the right technique. to drill stainless takes low rotation speed, high rate feed. In other words you need a variable speed drill holding it at the lowest speed it will turn at and you need to push the bit as hard as you can. Get your whole body behind it and straight arm...

    bonding cladding?

    "Has anyone bonded their cladding to their chassis? " Yes, for strength and for sealing. "If so what did you use?" 3M 5200 Marine adhesive sealant. Comes in a cartridge and 2 different cure times 1-hr and 48-hr. I used the 48-hr to leave plenty of time to re-position etc. they also make...

    Jean Charles de Menezes - Coroner's summing up.

    Read the Wikipedia article. The victim was not a combatant. He was mis-identified by the INCOMPETENT police as a combatant and killed after he was immobilized on the ground. And then the police tried to cover up their incompetence and lied about what happened. And now the courts have given them...

    exhaust manifold?

    With a properly set-up crossover exhaust the firing order alternates from side to side in the collectors so that no two cylinders next to each other in the firing order fire on the same side. This means the pulses in the collectors have more time to stay separate thus not conflicting as much...

    Three piece billet wheel centers

    Sweet, that CNC opens up a world of opportunity. On the outer band of the center did you look at making it continuous? Where the end of the star points are, there's a little gap in the outer band. Change in section like that makes for less strength. It would also allow for a nice radius at the...
