I intend on making myself titanium connecting rods. Don't tell me its a bad idea. I'm already set on doing it. BUT, I want input on the exact shape. I'm assuming that the structure has to be a little different to downplay brittleness in titanium. Porsche factory did titanium. Does anyone have one that could take a picture for me?

I think this is one of those cases where the buyer has way too much money, and is basically buying bling, not function. He's managed to talk Alpha here into making them for him, and as long as Alpha is getting paid to do it, and isn't going to take a huge bath when the guy stiffs him later, I don't see there's a problem here. If course, if Alpha DOES get stiffed, then he'll still have learned something. Or that they end up breaking the first time they're used, and he ends up on the wrong end of a lawsuit.
Quite a few of the tuners I've met have had a "golden customer" come along with a big wad of money, racked up huge bills, and basically ended up giving them a "golden shower" instead. Hopefully, this isn't one of those cases, but I'm not holding out a lot of hope there. |
