I am really excited to see how this turns out, and mike is a straight shooter kids
Another subie?
nope, I’m done with subarus for quite a while.
Mike, you’ve been keeping this on the low everywhere but here. I must say this is a rather impressive endeavor.
I guess i’ll have to get on shift more to check it out
:tup:
I want to keep it quiet until I make some real significant progress on it. Too many naysayers out there who don’t know how determined I can be.
PLUS I really want to go to a Honda meet and leave the hood down to see if anyone even looks twice.
You mean leave the hood open? lol
nope, down/closed.
Fuuuuck. And they sent me the wrong gauge rectangular tubing. I ordered .083 and these two are obviously .125.
The box says no returns unless you don’t accept delivery. What are the odds I’m going to have to eat this one too. Just like the guy on k20.org… that whole thing went fucking great.
can’t use them regardless?
Maybe, but they’re heavier than they need to be and welding them will be trickier since the factory metal is so much thinner. I’m just frustrated because Adam and I had a discussion about what to go with and in the end it didn’t matter.
Wow Mike, I hope when this car is finished, because you will finish it, that you beat the piss out of it. For all the shit you have gone through already for this car.
who did you order material from? shipping error on their part, they should cover the mishap.
MetalsDepot, who are now my recommended supplier of rectangular tubing. They scheduled a pickup of the tubing and are sending me replacements today, all free of charge.
Imagine that someone/place who actually stands by their goods.
I’ve ordered odd shit from them in the past. Not a bad supplier for small stuff.
Your rear arms arrived today(the ones you bought. Complete assemblies including hubs and drums.
Never received your text. Send me that kids phone number so I can call him this week and get your sol rear arms from him.
I’m glad you got them alright. Do they look to be in decent condition? I’ll have to get the hubs and bearings ordered for them next.
Did you get my text message?
Also, I wanted to go over the rear bracing with you so I can order some sheet metal and tubing for that. I’ll give you a call at some point tomorrow.
I am going to be all over the place the next few days and will likely not be near a phone for any talking-length of time. New shop being built and I’ve got masons to deal with, cars to deliver, family shit, and somewhere in there my own dumparoo to finish up and get back on the road.
send me email.
arms look good, fairly rust free for the most part. I’ll gut the hubs/brakes/bearings/busings from them next week.
no did not get message. my phone is fawked up (again) waiting ~ month for my plan to be up and buying new phone then.
This thread is very fucking interesting. Love what you’re doing.
Fuck this. Fuck this car, Fuck all honda owners, fuck everyone who’s ever been part of the car “scene”
Someone just scammed me $2,400 on parts I sold from my old setup. They canceled the CC payment on paypal and they have taken back the money.
I’m fucking done.
What the fuck.
