That's totally the route I would go. Machine a bearing housing that accepts a readily available cartridge bearing and make a new hub with a thicker flange out of a low alloy steel (which might not need a heat treat depending on what grade you use), and thread it on the inboard end for an axle...

I believe the technical term is "letting the smoke out". Definitely an odd failure mode. If nothing looks super melted I'd try to mend it.

Oorr you could make it MORE complicated and swap to an early K series throttle that's an electrical motor controlled cable throttle :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

When you step into the world of competition being a better driver only takes you so far, for any given class for Global Time Attack and Gridlife, there are no bad drivers on podiums. Car setup (and more than just making power) is crucial if you even want to have a chance at getting on podium...

I don't follow NA FF all too much but from what I've seen the K24 stuff seems to be pretty popular nowadays over in JP. Maybe you aren't referencing time attack though. Rise Up EK9 - 4P K27 (current Tsukuba NA FF record holder) Orange Ball DC5 - K24 Aslan Spirit EG6 - K24 Yellow Factory EG6 -...

The Ferrea stuff is certainly high quality. I wouldn't say you need the springs before getting the head work done or vice versa. Just be sure to measure everything before you do a final assembly. Can always take it back to the shop if something is off/out of spec. I went back to read more on...

The coil bind measurement is referencing the spring height at coil bind. The measurements directly relate to each other (15mm max lift results in ~23mm height vs 14mm max lift results in 24mm height). The Supertech is likely achieving that extra mm by winding the spring differently or using an...

They're both good and they both suck. At the end of the day most valvetrain failures are because people slapped shit together and didn't actually measure anything. If you don't know your valve stem heights, spring installed heights, checking rocker arm alignment, stem seal clearance etc. you're...

Yea you're mostly likely fine. 2 teeth isn't a whole ton.

How far did it slip? Usually you can get 5-10 degrees before there's any interference. On some motors if your pistons have large enough valve reliefs and you're on stock cams it's not an interference motor anymore. Either way, I wouldn't spend the money on keying it unless you're trying to make...

Dang, at least it's nothing super serious that requires pulling the engine or trans tho.

I'm gonna ask the real question on everybody's mind: Will It Blend?

Mine is a first gen so the turbos are replaced by two more cylinders but I daily mine as well. No complaints other than be sketched to enter some parking garages and she's got a big booty. Can tow a decent amount without issue, gets around most off road areas without too much hassle, it's not...

Nudes? Also 6 thou is definitely too much to seal but there's enough meat to have it machined straight again

What about trucks? Lol

Was a room sharing thread ever made?

Nooooooooooo. I'm still planning on it!

So when is this car gonna get sent??

Lol ;)
