Protip: Are you doing wheel bearings while you're in there? If so cut some disks out of 3/16 plate and weld them to the races and hammer them out from the back. I can get the disk diameters if you want them.

Seriously!!! Scott I posted classified ad's here and on the evil foru, BEGGING for ABS sensors I will need another pair though. And I'm plumbing a Hall effect signal strait into the MoTeC via custom sensor and I'm looking into getting a custom trigger wheel waterjetted out.

I'll definately take another set of ABS spindles though. I'll hit you up, I MIGHT be passing through your hood on Sat when i pick up my trans

Usually they wait until the surgery is schedualed, and you're all set, then they drop the bomb. Happened to my buddy a few months ago. He was all set for an ACL replacement and 2 days before hand they denied the whole claim. Took three months to get it straigtened out.

You've got to make it next year Tyler. You should drive out too

It's getting worked out slowly but it is.


I've already done that drive a few times. Never in the FD that would take dedication lol. We'll see what happens next year car should be 400hpish by then.

[helghast7]

you asked me which parts i was talking about and i told you lol

[TitaniumTT]

Ah, I'm sorry man.... talking with Alex, we're not sure Getting the glass back is gonna be tough. i told him to drive to you with no glass on his car.... he didn't really like that.

Honestly, I don't know. Was supposed to go to Daves to get my trans on Sat, thought it would be a good time then, but that appears not to be happening now so honestly, I'm not sure...... Do you need them gon e anytime soon?

[helghast7]

nah not really, just wanted to make sure you didnt forget about them

its a bummer about daves shop, i heard hes running into some setbacks, which sucks because im about 150 miles away from my 500 mark...so im just about ready for a tune

[TitaniumTT]

Yeah, I spoke to him today, I feel really bad, I wish there was something that I could do to help him out. I'll hopefully be out there Saturday, probab Tues to get my new 6spd WOOT!!!!!!! Machinist came through! Finished it up today!

Frankenwankel - 323ftlbs torque, 405 RWHP, Sequential Twin Turbo 6spd....... yeah baby...

[helghast7]

yea i gotta give him a call, need to at least get an idea of when is good for him to stop by for a tune, plus i need to ask him about some future ideas i have for some future projects lol

on another note i would like to go over what exactly is going to happen about these parts and my exhaust being welded, im not in any rush but i would like to figure out how everything is going to work.....ummm...

ohh i knew i was forgetting something....whats going on with the stickers?? now that the car is running i wana show off who did all my fancy welds

[Roen]

Best thing to do is get in touch with him, I feel horrible, wish I could help, offered up a room for him & Kim @ DGRRX, you should try to convince him of the same.

This upcoming week is do or die for me so I'm expecting 14-16 hrs a day to be devoted to the FC. I should have a ton of parts in Monday..... My shop is setup for painting but we can fit your FD in there and get the work done there in a matter of a few hours. Poweder Coating and all. I would say sometime the week of 4/5 we'll have the time. So I guess next week/end we'll figure out exactely when works.

Thanks, & I dunno, as far as I know, the files are ready and Alex is shopping printing shops. We'll have 'em in time for Deals for sure.

If you've got 350 miles on her already, how are the seats treating you?

I've gone through my datalogs after some tight auto-x's and my TP was always hanging around 30-40%, and I would hit boost ONLY on some of short straits, most of the time I was in vac. TC will end that.

Foot control is fine if you're driving a 176rwhp FC or a 105 fwGp honduh.... not so effective when boost builds as quick and torque is as low as is with my car. Tires are also a big factor, I need better ones. The new RT615k's are out and they ain't cheap..... I dunno what I'm going to do about tires.... I don't even know what rims to put them on. I think I may rock the Works for street duty... dunno... prob make a poll to see which the majority likes more.
