I mean if you get any water into the engine bay it's going to turn to steam when it hits the block anyway. Anything under the hood is already designed to endure that sort of climate by nature.
Also, anyone here got experience with technical drawings? I've finalized a few parts on the Wyvern and was cranking out some of the prints for them since i'll need to send out for patterns and machining on a few things i can't do. Want to run some other eyes over it

I [U]almost[/U] bought a Challenger. I wanted a R/T 392 with a manual transmission. Local giant Dodge dealership said they had two, so I went to look. Neither was what they said they were. one was a T/A, the other had the shaker package and was sitting right in the middle of the showroom. I started looking over the one in the showroom to find that they never painted the block at the factory, which was bright rust orange, and lots of aluminum corrosion everywhere on all of the accessories/brackets, and coolant wetness seeping from the outer water pump bearing already... with less than 10 miles on it. that was shortly after being blown off by the sales staff and not being able to test drive anything, because the only other manual ones were SRTs and "we don't let anyone test drive those". :fap:
So I went directly to the Ford dealership and bought a 2017 Mustang GT Performance Package instead. I still think the Challenger is a really good looking car though.
Also: 4 decimal places and no tolerances? Also where is the data on the internal features?

That is one busy set of drawings, I think I would personally struggle to work for them (but hey I'm not an experienced machinist and if you put that out where I work you'd be shot because apparently presentation is important), you havent put any tolerances on anything, even if you dont intend to you should probably slap a default one on the sheet (make it reasonable!) and a dimension on the bottom left view is difficult to read (dimensions "within" the outline of the object are usually to be avoided)
I've just place a bid on a oversees E36 M3 GT.....seems like interest is low. And because you need a special licence to buy it there aren't many people who can make a bid.
I've placed a 1800 gpb bid. If I in this ill be the happiest person ever.

You could probably afford it, too. Like me, you wouldn't be able to afford much else at the same time, but we could both have one. It's just stupid to dogpile this guy because he drives a legendary car. We're supposed to be car enthusiasts, right? And the Hellcat is top shelf. We should be congratulating the shit out of him.
There's nothing wrong with asking for a timestamp but all the snide daddy bullshit is uncalled for.

Hey quick question guys. I just got a 2014 Ford STX 4X4. I really do love the truck and was thinking about maybe getting some sort of brush guard for it. But being honest with myself I don't think I have any practical use for it. I hardly take it off road and mainly use it for commuting to work. They are pretty expensive too.
Basically what I am asking is there any practical use for a brush guard other than off road purposes? I am leaning towards just getting a bull bar if I do get one. I have heard these protect against minor collisions but also that they can damage the frame of your truck if you do actually collide with something.
Here is what I was aiming for

The only thing it'd be good for is pushing smallish things out of the way without scraping your bumper. Other than that it strictly does what it's designed to do: protect your vehicle while off road. It offers no on-road benefits. Also worse fuel economy due to messing with aerodynamics etc.

Yea, that's what I figured. I just see so many totally non off road vehicles sporting them I figured I was missing something.

It's purely for looks in 95% of cases, and to be fair they do look pretty bitchin, but that's all they do on street trucks.

Was gonna say that they could protect your car against wildlife running onto the road but the one you linked wouldn't do shit really

Eh, just having a laugh with the guy, I don't think it really came across as a legitimate insult.
Besides, your new car being such a monster that its sort of unbelievable that you have one... well, there are probably worse ways to be talked about. :v:
Fitted the entire front of the e36 again. Had to customize the (polyester) bumper and fenders to make it all fit.
I'm going to finish building the car first, then as final step I'll take off the panels and paint them. This is because I still need to modify lots of stuff when I receive the polyester hood, doors, etc. Not to mention fuck with the front and rear fenders to make my wide-track fit.

Hurry up, I can't wait to see it all together :v:
Well at this point it's a matter of funds. The past 6 months and coming months about 95% of my paycheck has been dedicated to this car.
I've set aside some bigger goals for, either the winter. Or near future. Including
-Individual throttle bodies
-GTR kit
-Rebuild of the wheel-wells to allow for lower ride-height
-Replacing entire rear quarter panels for polyester

So my check engine light is on, and I checked the fault codes, Ive got 9 of them. Are any of these in dire need of fixing?
P0122 - Powertrain (Throtte/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch A circuit low input)
P0351 - Powertrain (Ignition Coil "A" Primary/Secondary Circuit)
P0352 - Powertrain (Ignition Coil "B" Primary/Secondary Circuit)
P0420 - Powertrain (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1))
P0552 - Powertrain (Power Steering Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Input)
P0505 - Powertrain (Idle Control System)
How serious are these?

I'm no expert but certainly sounds like a battery issue...or your wiring harness is fucked
Sounds like a couple sensors and some coils. Not particularly difficult to fix.

Also fit it with proper cage and drag chute.
So is it really 840HP on [I]100+ octane race fuel[/I]? Because I thought that was the power at 93 octane. Could've sworn somewhere it was going to be 1040HP on the racing fuel.
Also, remember how I posted thinking it was going to be a $100k+ car? Well I guess they're saying now it will be [I]under[/I] $100k. Maybe $90k?

Fuck, that's almost as much as the 200TW Hankook RS4 tires I'm planning to buy within the next week or so. They are $115 a pop, but only other fee from tire rack is about $56 for shipping. Course, I gotta pay about another $80-$95 for mounting and road force balancing. I think the total will run me close to $640. Maybe I can make close to $150 back selling the Yokohama S.Drives still on there, not many miles...like 2k I think.
