  1. most definitely a specialist foundry if they are doing 90% of the worlds blanks. Wouldn't be a small operation.
  2. Old post, but I'd like to say- It can be amazing which things ARE controlled by canbus these days. It would not at all surprise me if brakes and tail lamps were more often than not canbus these days. Even tail lights on new motorcycles can be canbus. the BYD's horn has an annoying delay which im sure is because its controlled via canbus. Its definitely not hard wired like traditional.
  3. I have done some pretty cool things with arduino but seem to forget things just as fast as i can learn them. I have no idea what he is talking about most of the time but the moving lights are pretty.
  4. came here to ask why they had positive camber- reason makes sense! Might look weird if you reduce it (I know you wont anyway because you want this thing to be as close to origional as possible)
  5. omg, cant believe the cost of a welder these days. I have the model below that too- it welds excellently. Must say I have bitched about it a fair bit but it's only become a dick since I switched to .6mm wire and I started getting birds nests but thats an easy fix (back to bigger wire)
  6. my 2c. Google for conversion / swap kits and buy whichever motor has a kit available. I think anything that removes a hurdle (like engine/gearbox mounts) is worth its weight.
  7. this hurts my head, but just FYI incase its relevant in the slightest- there is a company in australia called subie gears that supplies parts to reverse rotation of WRX gearboxes. One of the parts they supply is a backwards ring gear (I think). If its ever an issue, they may be able to help.
  8. Holy shit! Hah! Fark there was a lot of scope for that to go bad during ya ride
  9. @Roman would be proud. PS, Oldschool needed its own foundry so good work.
  10. I hope nobody ever reminds me about each of my projects
  11. stretching the whole "all purpose" statement.
  12. Thats a pretty decent upgrade! Did you manage to get both static and loaded sag set pretty good?
  13. this hurt my head. Could you do this? Would mean its not affected by anything the fan does and the lamp is switched on by the thermo switch or bypass by giving it ground.
  14. You know someone with a lathe so maybe you could turn up a fitting to weld or bolt to the top of the sump to support that tube
  15. one of those pressurized oil canister things would be perfect for this if there was ever a problem. that machining is beautiful!!! I wondered what taht yellow tape was for when you sent me the pics- I see now it was to ensure max vacuum. Soooo coooooool.
  16. Hey man. Absolute pleasure being able to contribute something (the printing) to one of your projects- especially since you have provided so much inspiration over the years with your printer!
  17. I mean, knipex is a brand isn't it? Do you mean is there a similar quality brand in general?
  18. Umn, I'm a sicko but love the look of this with just the top fairing. Maybe a good compromise between full fairing and full naked? Also, this thing sounds fucking awesome. Video does not so it justice.
  19. is there information missing from this post?
  20. Loving your new dash idea! Does it allow for variable brightness? EG, bright enough to see during the day without illuminating the whole cabin at night time
  21. There is no need for that You need to be comfortable moving the knobs around, It is perfectly normal. You should have a vague idea what kinda power to set it to (Guess), then its just a matter of fiddling with wire speed until you get it going nicely on a piece of scrap. if it gets worse- turn the knob the other direction. The single only thing that is going to make you a better welder and more comfortable is experimentation.
  22. Settings change based on many variables.
