I like this kit

That seems like the most unlikely item to find for sale... how many of those engines were made?

I feel really conflicted about how well pressurizing a diaphragm pump will work.. be interesting to see If the two pressures add up to equal what you need.

That pump controller with huge screen would be overkill in nearly ANY application lol. I vote you get it right then hide or well out of the way.

Main drawback is the cost of the electric stuff when going tesla. Shit, for the cost of importing a drive unit here, batteries and control board modifications you could have someone else fit an LSA crate motor, then take the family to meccas. Leaf would be perfect for an imp!

that thing looks GREAT, way less dorky than many of the others i've seen! (online, had a google after seeing your thread pop up) Please make it lower.

I hate those moments. Bit easier these days with smart phones etc tho! I drove up to the big TeRapa roundabout once and there was a 90's falcon drifting round and round and round the inside lane. so epic.

First headlights, now bench vices?!

Wishful thinking

yeah apparently its creosotes caused by having the wood smoldering and the smoke too white/dirty. Good education.

I had a huge smoker fail yesterday, omg. Smoked ham that makes your tongue go numb

Yeah 260$ won't get you much of a repair. But yes theres rewinders everywhere

Damn u crazy. Will need some epic measuring to ensure the whole thing is still straight

The only advice worth giving in this instance is simply don't fuckin get into the hole.

If it makes you feel any better, I once machined the com on a big electric motor from a popular mountains ski lift... And left a big rag stuffed into a difficult to view cavity. There could have been people stuck on lifts and it could have been my fault So your little mishap isn't that bad.

Dude, this is going perfect so far! I have a big air receiver tank sitting there to do similar. Will you be going reverse flow? the fb bbq collective page seems to agree that thats the best way to get nice even temps across the cooking chamber. Also, hot plate on top of the fire box? I did some amazing beef cheeks 3 days ago. delicious.

Fuel lines blocked with sanding disc? Cant wait to see pics of this thing with axles crossed.

Or lift the rear up?

I always feel the front has to come down about 3"

He means supporting the axle when the center is removed to check side gear fitment

I just can't help but lol at your name and hope it's due to orange pubes.

Iv done nothing to this but buy stuff- probably won't work on it again until the sheds done, but we have a pretty good kit of parts ready for assembly, Narrowed front beam, full window rubber kit, door rubber kit, chrome trim, front air assisted shocks, narrowed front beam, new front torsion springs, caster shims, rear side windows, steering dampener, side running board things, plus the joints etc mentioned previously. Parts prices for these things are definitely a huge bonus, very reasonable compared to anything else I have been part of before. Will be EPIC once assembly can properly begin, is going to be like a big model set

Damn cool, we need to catch up. Any idea what it should run down the quarter with that power?

Epic build and skills here. Love it.
