Its a cool little device... But in a bad jam I think I'd grab for my 6-D battery Mag-Lite..

That involves getting a good swing at it. Tough to do underwater.

That's what my Kimber 1911 .45 is for...

@boots4 and/or @GLTHFJ60 Mike or Johnny What is the bolt size/thread on the block for the motor mount? I'll get these as well... Glad I had to get under Goss to work on things today and identified this!!...

Which mount holes are you using?

M12x1.25 off the top of my head, but I'd have to verify based on which holes you're using.

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

I believe they are the front or middle block holes. I read the fronts are M12 x 1.75 somewhere..

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

They are the front

If you don't find the size before lunchtime, I can throw a tap in one of the free front mount holes on my block to find the right size. Sometimes that's easier than researching

Did we ever see the customer B pillar covers from your sheet metal guy? Can't remember how far back that was put on the thread.

Never came to be.. He sent me a sample back... I made a few comments and never heard back from him. I may try and lay itoutin Solidworks and let my laser guys take a wack at it.

Very nice. I thought your windows were tinted much darker though?

Also where is the Momo?

Man... I'm running out of time... I'm just trying to get things workable/road worthy right now.. AC surround, MOMO, RTT etc.... not this go around unfortunately.

On a side note... with the boost line fixed, man the boost gets up there now... Pulls like crazy and is so FUN...

POD filter/air filter?? no issues in 19 months and 24mpg on avg... I'm happy with them.

Alex, the window tint is 30-35% IIRC... I'd have to go back into the early posts to be for sure though... OLD AGE SUCKS!

All good on the time thing. I know you'll get it done! What would you reckon a 0-60 time at? Although I imagine 40-60 is where you see the turbo "shine."

You just haven't driven enough. Those filters not filter out contaminants nearly as well as a paper filter. In addition, the surface area is not as large as the paper filter that came on the 4BT from the factory, meaning that they clog faster.

Only reason I'm running one is because I haven't saved up my pennies for a donaldson yet.
