Haha thar is hilarious.

 

Parts 2

 

So is all of your glassing done by hand laying? Have you though about vacuum resin infusing, or is there a reason you don't?

 

This is only the second thing I've ever built with fiberglass so I'm fairly new to it. Laying by hand is relatively simple and yield nice results that only require a little bit of touch up if done properly. Vacuum infusion looks amazing but twos a significant investment. After the hood I don't think I'll be gassing anytime soon.

 

You've been showing some nice work with your airfoil, if you have a diy process for vacuum forming, you should share.

If not, im sure we could come up with a cheap and effective method with a shop vac, garbage bag and some other parts.

 

I'll detail the vacuum infusion from a mold when I get to that point . I'm also going to try vacuum infusion around a formed part to see if it works. At a previous job all we did was vacuum infusion.

I've got a vacuum pump, I still have to make a resin pot. None of which is cheap unfortunately.

 

Plenum spacer installed... little bit of oil pooled up in lower plenum, anyone experience this?

 

Its common, part of the pcv system process.

 

Yup, that is totally normal. It's a good idea to run a catch-can if you want to prevent the oil build up.

 

Shouldve gone for that drive... got snow last night and more on the way

 

When an opportunity presents itself, you take it.

It was sunny and 68 degrees today, I sat outside and day dreamed. It was nice.

 

Lift showed up today

 

Niceee

 

Lift is up and running... working on raising garage door now so it can go full lift... this is good

 

Can you set a limit switch for the lift?

 

You can but the whole point of lifting the door is to get the car up higher... right now it doesn't get too high... no point of having a lift and still having to crawl lol

 

Swapped the flywheel yesterday, pilot bushing looked like its seen better days so pulled and swapped it. Input shaft bearing needs to be replaced I think... end play is ok but has a d event amount of side play. The FSM doesn't specify a value for side plsy, only end play... I'm guessing this means there should be no side play? Weird thing is its not notchy when you turn the shaft by hand like other bad bearings I've dealt with. Can anyone chime in on the side play?

The input shaft bearing is most likely bronze. Its "fragile" but has an ideal wear resistance. If you even bump it with the input shaft, it is trash.

Im almost certain the input shaft with it's wobbly run-out is normal. I noticed it 50k miles ago and then did another clutch ~30k miles after that and there was no change. It hasn't caused me any trouble at all. I assumed the shaft is on a spherical bearing.

It seems like other's have encountered this as well.
