For my paseo, I fluxcored the manifold, over paid for a chinese turbo, and installed the intercooler over a year ago. Its now used as my mobile tool box. I took the passenger seat out last week to go pick up a transmission  from the junkyard. I left it seatless since then because its easier to get the tools out from the back seat. When I leave my regular job, I go do side work out of a 1 bay garage that I rent. I'm hoping to get off my ass and get some positive pressure in the engine sometime this year.

Ive exhausted my race car funds for this season. It is expensive to go fast. If I get $400 to spend on my car, I'm buying a time sert kit to repair my head stud threads.

Here's the servo driver circuit I'm testing. It uses two 555 timers (ne556 later), so hopefully it will work with the CDM digital servos. Drawing shows the eventual servo horn & spring setup. Standard servo = 40oz/in torque. CDM servo = 180oz/in torque @4.8V. I'll be running it at 7V, so ~250oz/in.





Here's the lifter adjuster:

I think all cop cars need to have turbo. nbspnbsp Then they would understand the necessity of putting your foot down and how uncontrollable the urge is to fucking rail on that shit.

They told the theft-prevention guy at my store to toss that set out because it was missing the 19mm. Well I found a better place for them instead. ;D

Totaly true. I use my wratching wrenches so much that I im on my second set. Thank you very much Sears! I probably use mine more than I use my ratchet. Its probably a 50/50 on the use of them. Man my 14mm and 17mm take a beating.

every time i see a set of reversible ones for a decent price its missing the good ones. usually a 17mm  :-\
