    saga of the MkI restoration/build

    I was thinking of the intake pipe as well...probably ceramic coat it black along with the Y pipe and manifolds. I was always a fan of ninja engine bays. I'll be keeping the EGR and all that other stuff as well, the car's most likely going to end up in AZ as a daily driver so I want to be sure...

    Alumina wheels?

    it doesn't prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the wheels are in fact made of it. that's one reason i posted the last link about them possibly being made of ALON. However, using the sintering process described and throwing in massive amounts of cash the possiblity of making a set of 4...

    i quote directly from wikipedia: "As a powder or solid formed by sintering (welding together small particles), alumina is opaque or translucent.

    Alumina wheels?

    i don't....right now i'm trying to find the site that had actual blocks of aluminum oxide for sale, but they are EXTREMELY expensive, and I'm not even 100% sure on the process they use to make it, especially since anodized layers of oxide are a few thousandths of an inch thick. It's been so...

    Alumina wheels?

    ...your thinking wrong Heard about it last year. Appearantly its a molecular layer upon layer of aluminum oxide, basically clear aluminum anodizing that goes through the base metal, and they keep layering it on top of that. They havent made anything useful out of it besides this and a few...

    i had a similar problem on my old car, it ended up being the ball joints

    and so it begins (project car)

    nope, standard cassette. 8-track would be cool though. It actually has a switch that i guess is for two different track materials, since cassette's were on thier way out before i was on my way in did they ever make a metal tape cassette?

    saga of the MkI restoration/build

    ...hopefully made some progress on the wiring, but still a bit in the dark as to the other stuff NOT attatched to the 5M ECU. here's the diagrams I've made. Red represents things that will be left untouched, black represents things that I am unsure of, and blue represents things that I am...
