I finished up my Carbon Fiber 911 engine "tin" and bolted it up to confirm fit. Strong as all hell and quite lightweight. Fits perfect. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I also made a bracket for the bell crank on the 911 and powder coated and baked it.

I need this... for a 2.7...

You know it sure looks cool...but I.ve always wondered about the thermodynamic properties.

I know it isn.t the cylinder tin but I.m wondering. Does anybody have any data?

I don't think the tin around the engine does any type of heat dispersion. It's there as an air dam to keep the cooling airflow going from top to bottom and from getting recycled just like belly pans on today's cars.

Replaced rear calipers and pads. Asked my wife to assist in bleeding the brakes.

ME: "OK, pump a few times and hold."
WIFE: pump, pump, pump, pump. hold.
ME: Open bleeder. Nothing happens. Close bleeder. "OK, again"
Repeat a few times with same results. Hmmm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
ME: "OK, that's all for now. Let me figure out what's going on."
Lowered car and let gravity do the work for a few minutes. Returned to see brake fluid dripping from bleeders. OK, now I know fluid is in the caliper.
Ask wife to come back out to garage to help.
ME: "OK, pump a few times and hold."

WIFE: "Uhh, oops. Sorry, I was pushing the clutch pedal."

Same thing happened to me when I asked my son to help me bleed the brakes. I would hope by now he would know where the brake pedal is.

Megasquirt rhymes with brainhurt. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Watched several hours of videos covering the setup of Megasquirt3 only to have it skip over VVT tuning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) It is so close to being the hot ticket to a vq35de swap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I don't suppose anyone has a Z or G and an oscilloscope?

Hit the Ortega yesterday. Could not have timed it better. I hit "The Slot" both ways. I felt as if I were the only one on it. Spent a few $$$ with the Candy Store since they were one of the local business' hurt by last month's road closure.

Fabricated mounting brackets for an external oil cooler... warm weather will eventually come to the desert... I think! (more rain today- most rain I've seen in AZ since we got a place here in 2010.)
