Back to the door seals. Both the escape door and main door have 2 sealing surfaces, but the stuff they use doesn't work to keep anything out. This ultra light dust seal: And this stuff that doesn't seem to do anything: I replaced those with 3M backed EPDM foam bulb seals (style H) from...

Did a ton of work over the long weekend, but it was all in anticipation for buttoning things back up after the wiring install (which isn't here yet). Instead of plain wood, we wanted to lighten things up a little bit so it's brighter and a little less drab. So, I stained (not painted)...

Highly recommend both. If you can find a turbine tech style front mount, get it - the extra mount points prevent the 2 main bolts from breaking the case. You smack the throttle on and off more often in autocross than you do on a strip. Adjustable ball joints in the front - yes. There's no...

Yep, just let me know what you're going for and we can work through it. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

For as much time as it takes to restore headlights, just buy new lenses. WAY better results and $50 for a pair on amazon. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

What class will you be building it for? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Seal and insulate. I pulled all of the wall panels off: I think this is where the cheapness of the Georgia trailers really comes in. Nothing is sealed below the roof line, essentially. So, I set out siliconing all of the seams that I could find. I started by closing myself in and looking...

Electric jack - yes please. These things are way too expensive to option out up front, but for ~$125, you can put one on yourself. 3 bolts and 1 wire. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Interior wise, the floor was my first concern. Bare wood soaks up everything and gets pretty nasty in a short time. I knew I wanted to protect it, and pretty much anyone who has done a floor in a car hauler has their own opinion of what works. So, this is my take. I wanted something hard and...

Yep - If you want, start a new build thread and give me a mention if you have any questions.

First things, first. Before we get into making the trailer livable, we need to make it easier to pull. Enclosed trailers are giant sails in cross winds, and sway can be unsettling. I'm also pulling this with a 1/2 ton truck - when you have significant tongue weight (upwards of 1000 lbs in my...

I haven't tried it on this one, but the last trailer you could sit the bar behind the top of the padlock and it is enough to prevent the door from opening. There really needs to be something on the "unlocked" side that locks it open.

I like the mattress idea. We usually leave the air mattress inflated during the day, anyway, and it looks like won't take up much more space. I've been thinking about the bar locks and how we secure them open. Not sure yet how I'll do that. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Yep, we'll sleep in it occasionally. Going to have some sort of bed "frame" that we can set up and remove easily so we aren't on the floor. Just an air mattress on it most likely. Current truck is a 17 Ram 1500 with a 5.7. I pulled the 24' trailer about 25k miles with it and it did well. The...

After buying a used trailer (circa 2001) and nuking some axles bearings, I sold it. I sold it with the intent of getting a new trailer before the next season. Thus, the queen needed a new throne. I compared pricing and a fuckillion reviews before deciding to save some cash and get a...

Yes, especially in DI due to its latent heat capacity. The effective octane value is NOT the same in PI. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Just calculate pure ethanol as 160 octane, and pure methanol as 180 octane. Then you have a direct comparison of mixes depending on what gasoline octane you mix with.

Bump stops should only be included if/when you are using them as a main spring - or more so for when you do use them. That will help you understand the behavior for when they are utilized. It's a missed aspect, most people just toss them in without regard for their rate, let alone when they...

If you have an old one that you won't use again, yes. I'll be pressing out the bushings and doing some other fun stuff with them. Mazda 6 front suspension is interchangeable with the MS6, yes. The rear lowers are different due to different subframes and knuckles. The rear upper is the same.

Anyone have a set of MS6 front upper control arms they don't need anymore? I need to get some measurements. If you can bring them to Indy this weekend for me to borrow, that would be fantastic :D
