Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

shameless self plug:

Kozmic Motorsports mile car

against a 727ci Holden HSV

Isn't that the same Holden from the Roadkill episode?

 

Anyways, thats a really nice car you have! Shame Mitsu aint making them anymore...

How does it rack up so many miles like that?

200km comuter everyday atleast, many long trips. Just a lot of driving i guess.

 

I broke down and bought a pressure bleeder a few years ago. Now it's super easy with only one person lol. That is my favorite way to solve problems, simply throw money at them lol.

My bleeder is a used pepsi bottle and some hydraulic line off a tractor xD.

I dont have any money...

 

I wanted to get some diesel love into this thread so i was looking for some potent diesel videos on youtube.

Then i found this thing. With the commentairy i love in jays videos

 

I love diesel. Smells good, tastes good, drives good. Really nuthin wrong with it

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

Mist everything you link like that makes the contents of my stomach want to escape but still. What the heck was the builder thinking.

I have some form of respect for people who make their cars lol like the way they like not caring about others, but still.

Old Dodges like AlwaysFSX posted are probably my favourite muscle cars.

Aesthetics wise at least, I really don't all that much about them.

Not buying yet, just quite extensive planning because I've gotten the go ahead.

 

Just looking for bulk order sheets of carbon fiber and epoxy. Sent off a few emails on epoxies and which weaves would be preferrable for structural applications.

I've bought quite a bit through USComposites. You can buy it by the yard or the whole roll if you need.

 

As for epoxies and weaves it depends a lot on your application and you can effect the structural properties of the finished product by the direction you lay the weaves. 

 

What are you trying to make? What application method are you planning on using?
