    Ignition Problems Need Help

    Today I pulled the upper timing cover off, although the belt isn't snapped it has about half an inch of deflection with no applied force. It is also covered in cracks so I will replace it. But could this be the cause of my problems, I still don't see how this will stop the igniter from...

    D-sub Crimper for Deustch Connectors

    So IJ explained a few things too me which now are plainly obvious and how could you go past this thing. It looks exactly like the one we use at uni on the FSAE car which has made a fair few looms now. Even if it made only one loom before turning to shit you would be ahead $30!

    D-sub Crimper for Deustch Connectors

    So I stumbled across this crimper: http://www.proskit.com/cgi-bin/proskit/608-400.html From my understanding they should cost 10x that much! Is the range of pin sizes able to be crimped sufficient? I really don't know too much about Deustch connectors. Rob

    CF Targa Top

For a CF targa to outperform the factory targa, the person making it must understand how the forces will act across it and lay up accordingly. If its primarily fiber glass with a final...

    Need ideas for driving from Austin to San Fran

    Why is this so? Also if it were like the top gear episode and we wrote "country and western is crap" or "man love is great OK!" I think we would get well received in san fran but leaving austin well i dont think that would go down well.

    Vi-PEC PNP for 2JZ

    I came across this thing the other day while looking at Link ECUs. I just wish it had traction control which I guess is a feature not all PNP applications can take advantage of otherwise it is sweet! How is the upgrade for drive by wire added, can it be added after purchase?
