I run into a lot of kids who would really love to build a car. Money is one issue, but not insurmountable. The are still a lot of really cheap...
I remember reading that. It caused me to go down a rabbit trail at the local junkyards! In the end, I just had to much other stuff on my plate...
Here in Florida I've heard of all kinds of EV conversions using Nissan, Tesla, and GM stuff, but converting an EV to gasoline is unusual. I'm...
These are fun! You can't image how quick a car can be with only just over 100 horses, but they only weigh 1000lbs! It needs a manual trans, though
I like that!
Check the resistance. A coil for use with points without a resistor should be 3 ohms across the terminals. The term "12v" is a misnomer...
Maybe Speedway? https://www.speedwaymotors.com/G-Comp-Universal-Front-Suspension-Kit,390286.html
I think the hatch back gives the car a good bit of utility. I loved my Fox mustang hatch.
Have you looked at marine V-Drives? Come in different sizes, capable of handling a lot of power. [ATTACH]
Two single bbl throttle bodies and enough fuel for 250hp. Trying to do something as simple as this using a pair of Snipers is really pounding on...
I once ran into a guy who had a sign in front of his fiberglass, big block Chevy powered, automatic, Cobra kit stating that it was a rare Shelby...
I'd love to see what they did. 12,000 rpm on four mains and with the airflow limitations of that head..... It would be amazing.
That's a really nice Studebaker!
I was once looking at the 4.0 version. Any pitfalls with that one? The type nine is a five speed available on several British and German models....
He was talking about using the 1bbl sniper. It could be made to work but the cost/benefit analysis would be tough.
I always liked the C4 but could never take to the early model video game dash. A later one with the TPI would be nice.
You might get closer to those proportions by starting with a chopped channeled 32 the window.
So, any conclusions? Very interesting to watch.
Sure. Pick almost any road in central fl during rush hour and you'll be "cruising" at 20mph with thousands of other drivers. ;)
Take a look at the cable drive systems on some of the British cars. MGBs for example, have a geared wiper shaft that's driven by a cable from a...
Multiple mounting points are fairly common. What I envisioned was mounting locations that actively moved in three planes under software control....
Taken to an extreme, who says linkage length or mounting points have to be fixed? With linear actuators as control links and moving pivot points...
Did you get the right master? I think the one for 4 wheel discs had a bigger bore.
Good work! I hate doing paint and body.
A big gap is sometimes useful if you have an engine that's tuned to run lean. Not really necessary if you aren't concerned with idle emissions....
I can tell you from experience, the xk120 cockpit is really cramped unless you are under 5'9" and 150 lbs. The wheel and pedals are too close and...
Starter under the intake? Piece of cake. Try this: [ATTACH]
I would also check to make sure you have good grounds on those lamp housings. LEDs do odd things that incandescent lamps don't because they will...
I used to attend PRI every year before they moved from Orlando to Indy. After that I only went to Indy once. It's industry-only so it's a lot...
Neighbor across the street called this morning. 2023 Acura . Brake lights stuck on. Car won't start. Something called VSA warning is lit on...
