You sure it's a 44-1-1 pattern? 44 hole flywheels are usually 44-2-2 (renix).

Forgot to add a decent induction heater, would be useful for getting out those stuck bolts with less drama.
And perhaps a power tool for installing rivnuts.

Garage tools are my fetish.

What I'd like to have:

-Hydraulic press
-Shrinker / Stretcher
-New sheet metal nibbler or shears (old nibbler recently croaked)
-Decent column drill
-Bead roller
-Lathe
-TIG welder / Plasma cutter
-Spot welder

If only I had money to burn...

Dont have pictures at the moment, but here's my take on strut braces: Bad: -Any strut brace that bolts the bar to the mounting plates on a single pivot. Reasoning: allows tops of struts to move relative to the chassis legs.. missed opportunity. Semi bad: -Adjustable bars. Loss of strength and rarely...

I have never in my life used one of those threaded easy outs with success. They have a very small area that they apply load on, and the smaller ones will snap around that area if your bolt is stuck enough. Drilling the top few threads out might help out some, will try that sometime. Best bet is alwa...

Fred, you're just one of those people that like to watch the world burn
115VAC All the things!

Dont really see the point, my sensor operates primarily between 0.2V - 2V.

Hmmmm.. If my calculations are correct that was about 33 rpm I achieved... pretty shit as tests go. My test contraption doesn't allow for serious speeds as is, I suppose it would be better to test that on an actual engine of some sorts. I just noticed what looks like a 'missing' tooth before the 310...

My chinese knockoff logic analyzer came in the mail today so I hooked my VR board up and gave it a whirl (literally). Installed sigrok instead of Saleae Logic, works just fine. Here's the result: http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GZH-ULmEolY/V5uopfrZnlI/AAAAAAAACZY/E1zjH-YBRIIgAvaJHvR46xq2udDpEmG8gC...

16V 4AGE's suffer from similar difficulties with the crank ventilation. The vent is situated in the top-middle of the intake side cam cover, if you take a looong right hander in an AE86 you're likely to leave a smokescreen. The later smallport 16v's had an added external oil drain, but those only ca...

Ordered some chinese knockoff logic analyzer, as a programmer I hate myself for it, but until I figure out how much use one of these will be in my rare spurts of electronics tinkering I dont want to be spending big amounts of money. Most knockoffs I've seen are based on Cypress SoC's, a far cry from...
