Sometimes graphite can be used to lubricate the cable. As well as white lithium but that would be the later choice. ---

I used your booster but it was fucking hammered and almost rotted through on the backside at the bottom… I painted it, but I will have to replace it very soon. ---

Lol really? Wtf it seemed fine when i took it off… but that was about 5 months ago. I don’t see how it could get that shitty that quick. Unless i just wasnt paying attention. The thing still works fine What color did you paint it? ---

I want to make to Blown Euroz, which is Mid April. However, I want to have SOME street time before the trip, so I need some shakedown time. I plan on starting it in the next week or so… There’s really not TOO much left to do. The rest of the body parts are being painted on Monday (i hope). I’m excited to at least install the rear bumper. lol. Once it starts and runs I can put all the rest of the body work on… ---

> [@newman](#): > > I’m not SUPER concerned about it, but I think I’m going to make some sort of heat shield for it. man idk, I would think the 700+ degrees that pipe will be putting off might degrade that diaphragm a lot faster than you think, especially if its off a 10 year old honda. Really, I have no idea, but I don’t think they were designed to see those temps. ---

Any thoughts on how long a tank of gas will last? Are you still using a 8 gallon cell? Obviously it will depend on driving habits but do you think you’ll get 100 miles out of a tank?
