(Copied from my FB post to here) I look forward to the annual Midwest Meet with all my car friends every year. This year attendance was a bit disappointing, but I want to say a huge thanks to the few who made it out. I still had a ton of fun. Took the number 1 spot in the day for karting...

Woo! Hell of a thread man. I laughed I cried, I sold you half my parts collection. It had it all. 4.5/5 stars

There are other hotels that arent too far away, if there is no space at sun and sand, we can book other people over flow at those.

He has all my timing tools, so if you want he can just send you those to use.

I could, but it would be a bit. @JohnnyTightlips has my personal one right now. If you are willing to have him ship it to you and then back to me when your done Im ok loaning it out.

Yeah if anyone needs a bolt I can make those up. Im not really in a spot to make plates right now. and I too like @JohnnyTightlips left the plate when torquing. Just feels safer to me.

Yeah I posted in the FB group but meant to post in here, get your rooms booked up if you want to come people! Im going to get a hold of the group running the track day monday and see if I can get us a group discount (I very much doubt it)

lol. Can I? yes. Will I? Im going to pass. haha

Should I do the math? I can, but I can tell you it will say its more than fine with a large factor of safety. The most likely part to see failure there is the aluminum block threads (which can also hold the weight just fine)

Yeah he is getting a ton done fast, and then bitches about not having time to do stuff. Psh.

Look at all those fancy home made tools you get to use. Those timing tools have done so many engines now.

yeah she is still autoX-ing. They co drive the 6, and she has another speed (and mini DD). Their honeymoon is going to be nationals sounds like lol.

Rock auto I just bought fender liners from there. They fit ok, but be prepared to do a little fitting work. But for like $20 each, worth it IMO.

You know its been a long time with a car when you wear out a set of autotechs

Yeah going on your shifter and not the stock one was somewhat of a guessing game. I have had people just put a small something under it to "adjust" height. a small piece of dowel to the length they want or something like that. Doesent really matter what, just something to space the threads at...

I have to say, this is all pretty impressive work, and your documentation is the kinda stuff that this forum needs. Good work. Now I want to go see if I can save/rebuild my fire motor just to do it from the ground up by hand like this.

Speed was great in the snow. Slap the snow tires on it and have at it! I drove my speed year round and unless there was like 8" or more snow on the roads, then I took the jeep. A good spray wash every other week or so kept the rust off mine just fine.

The jeeps are fun. We have owned 2 wranglers, and as long as you understand the compromises that come with owning one, they are awesome. (Dont expect Cadillac ride comfort or anything, and 20 mpg on a the highway if you have the Rubicon unlimited) My wife just sent me a thing she wants to do...

Both are heavy. Sphere is 500g, and the DB is around 630g.
