Looks like fun to me! Allan

That That....is a thing of beauty!!! Allan

Don't block the radiator! Allan

I have abandoned my plan to use LifePO4 batteries. I have concerns about their sensitivity to heat and cold. Allan

What are you going to do with the manifold. After reading Alan's build it seems that the manifold is the big restriction in the system. Time for a kinugawa or build your own? Allan

Time for more suspension work. I had installed some Bilstein rear shocks early in the build but they were too short so they were at almost full extension at ride height. I was intending to change the upper mounting bracket but decided it was easier to just find some shocks that fit properly...

Pretty much all modern vehicle have this system. It is called traction control. It is really just a reprogramming of the abs system. The problem is that the brakes tend to overheat in slippery conditions. Ideally a car with mechanical locking differentials and traction control will work...

Another interesting aspect of this whole thing is that apparently depending upon the cut of the gears they can have different lockup characteristics..... Allan

I have a torsen in my spec miata race car which works very well. I had never learned how it worked. Decided to look it up:

I love the commentary from the passenger seat. Sounds exactly like my wife and I. Over an especially big obstacle last trip she started singing to calm herself.... She got out to walk on the way back through but said watching was no better. Four low first gear pretty much says it all as...

Very nice. Clean and simple just the way it should be! Allan

It was Skyline drive to the ridgeline and then south towards Mueller Park..... The Lift system did not require anything except a new hydraulic hose to relocate the pump and a cable adjustment. The system is pretty sweet actually. It has a 12 volt fully contained hydraulic pump with a built in...

That is one of my favorite fairy tales!! The wife and I decided to go for an over-nighter last night. Two hours later we were camped on an 8000 foot ridgeline up a very rough 10 mile dirt road over large enough obstacles to stop all but the most extreme vehicles. The best part it was only...

It is hard to keep the speed down with the new JATO conversion:ylsmoke:
