  1. That jogs the brain, I used tin foil to shield the plastic sockets etc, should have been ok, but I wasn't keen on taking too much risk.
  2. Used to have to do that monthly to the logic board in my Macbook, worked flawlessly until I put it in a glass roasting dish with a convex base, just twisting the board enough that half the surface mount parts fell off. Used a strip of thin solder next to the board to get a guess on temp
  3. Nah, but large part of me hopes they will sub some kind of design work to us, can only hope to have my scribblings in space!
  4. Would love to share what we do in pictures, sadly i'd lose my job! We design/build alot of composite parts for the cryogenic industry, while they're often simple to look at, some of the materials used have interesting properties as to not tear apart from differential contraction and what not at 4K
  5. I second vacuum infusion, far better results, getting a solid vacuum and even infusion can be infuriating, but when it works, Between my skin sensitising to the resin and hating dust, i'm not sure why I like working with it.
  6. Too rich on start up? I had similar issues at idle for long periods, one grade hotter plugs cured it, although that was on a warm engine
  7. We can forgive you for narrow tyres and not bowing to peer pressure on cut springs, but I get the feeling after a full page voting down the distributor you better follow the pack on this one
  8. Thats poo, best upgrade i've done is the ceramic heater tap, works without seizing up
  9. Heater core looks very similar to a lada one, of which I have a spare
  10. Really liking this little project, so rad what can be done
  11. I'd be keen to have a poke at troubleshooting it, I assume there are circuit diagrams about?
  12. Jeeeeeeeez, all this time we thought you were cheap, wouldn't trimming both the same alighn better with your Barry-ness? put up a swapz post on dirty south for "lowered springs"?
  13. If you're having trouble sourcing 6061 get in touch, we have it on the shelf up to 100mm thick
  14. You're correct, the circuit is simple, but my logic is the hall effect requires no additional gizmos, simpler and initially one less thing to worry about.
  15. Only reason is perceived ease, reluctor needs a few more bits to run with the speeduino, but i'm happy to be convinced otherwise.
  16. Whats the go to hall effect sensor for cam/crank angle? i've only found threaded rod style industrial ones or vehicle specific options that make mounting tricky, i'm leaning to the industrial style for ease but thats fairly chunky, something small and discrete would be nice, ideas anyone?
  17. Printed out the profiles for the manifold full size to check I had spacings correct only to find I had the itbs upside down! Few clicks of the mouse later and to good surprise the bolt spacing came out much better, I have a few more gentle tweaks before sending it to the water jet but the design is pretty solid, I'm hoping to have them done by christmas, but she's sneaking up fast!
  18. flange is the same, but the bearings are different from memory (due to axle diameter)
