That should give it a bit more breathing room. My DCOE copies showed up. Threw all the rubber parts in a container of fuel and haven had them swell up so Ive got high hopes. There is some machining imperfections that need tidying up. defiantly throwing the Chinese jets and emulsion tubes in the bin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at (in the near future) to be buying some FC rx7 adjustable suspension. From searching around various websites, there's a lot to choose from; XYZ = $1700 Lines Racing = $1100 Hakon = $1600 Yellowspeed = $1600 D2 = $1700 BC Golds = $1800 Max Pro = $2300 Plus I'm sure there's so many other more well-known Japanese brands out there for sale also. My question is - any of the above brands known to be not great/shit/not cert-able? Do I just purchase roughly based on price? Avoid the cheap one and stick with the mid-range? Auto Fortune seem to have a good reputation and price seems reasonable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 @kpr when measuring your exhaust pressure, how are you plumbing the sensor into the exhaust? Just into the O2 bung with some sort of long tube to stop the heat getting to the sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Just some old brake line and chamber to dampen. pretty long hose from there to the dyno map sensor as well. but the chamber hardly got warm with that length of steel tube anyway.

nzstato Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Here for no other reason.... I've bought Golf with leather seats which has some tears in the side bolster, right where the seat-airbag is. I've been advised that only certain shops can repair/re-stitch these to comply, does anyone know who can do this? Replacement seat cover from VW is now NLA... @64valiant ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64valiant Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Nah just go ahead and hand stitch it back together if it isn't to badly damaged. Have done plenty repairs in my time, air bag will bust through that shit pretty fast. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoom Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Has anyone tried using dry ice to remove spray on underseal? I've used it on the sheet stuff with great success, but Triumph used a spray on product on the floor of my car. This is inside the car, not underneath.

I've been trying with LN2 on some nasty aftermarket tar-like goop on the Datsun underbody, no real result ended up resorting to a knot brush & grinder and various scrapers, heatgun and finally acetone. D-, will not do again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if it would work when poured onto something, does it just instantly sublimate away without doing much cooling? Every time I see something frozen with LN2 it gets submerged.

Yep, not as easy to cool panels as CO2 but being patient on flat surfaces it can do the job really well, if the parts can handle dunking it is the quickest way. Biggest drawback i've found is excessive condensation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 It's because you aren't putting the nitrogen through your waterblaster, that'll make it chooch properly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tar/underseal we just use a heat gun and a scraper to remove at work. It's a shit job no matter what. But that's the cleanest way to remove. Wire wheels usually just heat it and make a gooey mess same with sandblasting or sanding Then solvents usually paint thinners to get the last sratchings off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
