Bingo! Why didn't she fire off the first go around? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Only one question; is that 2" rubber 1/4 bend fuel rated? Looking forward to the next video. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Overboost cut is the reason it didn’t fire, it thought that atmospheric pressure was too much because i gave it no parameters. What are you referring to when you say 2” rubber? The piece that is used to extend gas tank fill tube. |

@tazz9924
Love the work on your car and the video makes it happen just like I was working in your garage with you but without the smoke from cutting and startup filling my lungs. Great job on everything. Bob B |

Could the reservoirs be inverted if one wanted to hang vs stand the cluster?

Been making a custom set of mock up axles. These will see very limited driving and such but they should be plenty strong but im no engineer. Boxster outer subaru inner.

Decided it was time to change steering wheels on this beast in preparation for the first drive. Something a little more… wild. Its a tad bigger than before to allow it to steer a bit easier along with mounts for my buttons.

Been making a custom set of mock up axles. These will see very limited driving and such but they should be plenty strong but im no engineer. Boxster outer subaru inner. It'll be interesting to see how those hold up. I've had best success with both sides of the axles pressed into a tube with two "fishmouths" on it so the welds are at 45 degrees to the axle circumference. That reduces the shear load and adds a component of bending which is a lot easier to handle. Done the way you show I've had a weld break and one side of axle free rotate (not dangerous in any way). But every case is different. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

The axles basically pressed into the collar so at least they will be balanced. |

I “finished” the shift linkage. Everything looks great, it goes in every gear but theres one major issue: 1st is on the right and fifth is on the left (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif). I didn’t mess up, not totally. The original shifter in my old car id from an mr2 and I thought id be fancy and get a k tuned shifter. This was a bad idea because apparently the k tuned shifter pulls the cable when you move the stick to the right instead of pushing it like the mr2. So maybe a good cable shift mechanism (minus cables) and a subaru cv to 914 stock cv custom axle will be fir sale soon
