You might be right Ron. Initially I thought somebody must make, or be willing to make an R&P set for this diff, but I'm not having much luck. The tranny is a Getrag, so I may well have better luck swapping its internals with other Getrag applications. That or just bump my tire diameters up...

Am looking for a custom ring & pinion set for a torsen diff in a conventional front engine, RWD, Japanese sport coupe. Have contacted Richmond, Quaife, Albins, CMS, JawsGear, Precision without any luck. Everyone wants an order for a minimum of 100 sets. Anyone know of a small, capable gear...

The extremely weak dollar isn't helping either. I don't know how anyone manufacturing abroad can hope to sell in the US right now, unless they've got a lock on the market. Kudos to people like Andy Sheldon who are trying.

That intake port is pure art. Is that untouched from Ferrari or has a head porter been in there?

Ditto all the other comments, and plus, they're good if you just want to use them as a measuring tool for a swaged hose. We all know how frustrating (and expensive) it is to have to get a swaged hose done 2-3 times, because you can't seem to get the length "just right". So you make up the...

Don't know if many people have seen or heard about this yet, but it's a very nice, new, remote I/O interface that MoTeC have brought out. It can operate as a standalone I/O controller, or can communicate with a MoTeC ECU via the CAN bus. My friend at MoTeC told me the outputs can be...

Sorry, not to sidetrack the thread, but I have Hartman's book. I picked it up recently as an impulse buy from a local bookstore, but I should have left it on the shelf, as I found it to be mainly a collection of information that most people on this forum probably already know. There were a few...

Thanks Ian, I worked it out algebraically to be a number divisible by 9, but couldn't sort out the smoke & mirrors on the webpage, until I noticed the symbols were identical for the series of numbers divisible by 9, dohhhh. Each time you "play" it, the software shuffles the symbols to confuse...

I'm an engineer, not a mathematician or statistician, but I'm sure there's a logical explanation how this works: milaadesign.com - website designer

Russ, I've had the same experience as you, trying to clean up cast aluminum with various chemicals, etc. And it seemed the more chemicals I tried, the darker the aluminum got. I finally threw in the towel and had the parts glass beaded and they came out superb, and looked freshly cast. All the...

Way to go Lynn; how about one more little request? Since the How To's are going to be posted randomly by date, What about putting a locked, sticky "Table of Contents" post at the top of the section which gives the major category for the How To's, a "brief" description, and a hyperlink to the...

Ron, the Options in the User CP may have to be set to display "newest first" too.

You could also do a "cheat sheet" in Excel, and use large type so you can read it from afar? I have one of these in my workshop for my calipers to convert from inches to mm's, and fractions of an inch to decimals of an inch. I first did this for my wife 15 years ago when we lived in Tunisia...

Russ, wasn't there an insistence from Henry Jr. that the MKII have a full roll cage, despite the weight penalty. (This was in contrast to the MKI which had nothing to protect the driver in the event of a roll?) Seems I remember this from Ronnie Spains' book.

A FAQ for new members? And how about an area for "How to" articles?

Cheers Gregg, I'll send you a postcard once I'm settled in. I'm fully expecting a "meet & greet" squad of the boys in blue when I reenter the US @ BUSH Intercontinental. At least I have three weeks of "relative" peace & safety in this "terrorist" infested Sahara desert. Howard thanks for your...

Although several of us have now undoubtedly been branded as flaming liberal, pinko commie, Bush hating atheists, I just wanted to say that, although our personal freedoms and privacy have been severely compromised in recent years by the Bush Administration’s Patriot Act, I am still very thankful...

Two modest proposals for an equitable solution in Iraq: 1) As we've now managed to turn Iraq into a welfare state, without anything resembling a working infrastructure (although Halliburton and others were paid billions for a "reconstruction" that isn’t), and it's totally dependent on the...

Cheers Paul, I think one of the surest cures for insomnia is trying to wade through theoretical journals with lots of integrals, partials and summations. If the articles in that mag are like that, then thanks but no thanks. No disrespect toward the theoretical/academic crowd.
