car parts and pastries FTW

 

That was the yummy chocolate cake my daughter baked me for fathers day.

 

I finally got my custom actuators/brackets in so we shall see how she goes, I have everything I need now It took a few months due to back or forth making sure it would fit with various water cooled setups but was worth the wait. It's a 10PSI actuator.

 

looks like you got the one with an adjustable arm and locking nut, so you can increase the boost with it. if you wanted too.

 

You mean the preload adjustment? Yeah that adjust the cracking pressure of the actuator. I will play with that and test it tonight.

 

Almost done with my latest changes

 

 

so shiny!

 

Yeah man, getting stuff powdercoated has turned into kind of a thing that I am getting carried away with,

 

Is black the new cool ?

 

Black is easy, and cheaper as well. Plus I am very indecisive, choosing a color is hard

 

Holy crap this thread is still alive.

Looks good 9k

 

It will never end. I will finish this, drive it for 6 months, and then get another hair brained idea.

 

9K,

That is why your 8 continues to be one of the ONLY VR 8's that i like. It's such a beautiful work of art.

ahhhh..... Ok finished now.

This thread needs more charts and graphs.

 

9K,

I see all the freshly powerdercoated parts on the table...


How come we have no pictures of them installed? Huh? What happened there lol.

Very nice powdercoat job, very sleek.


Travis

 

It is because I like to decide to get stuff powder-coated, then after I have already dropped it off I come home and find other things I want to PC, I am awaiting my final batch now, it should be ready tomorrow actually. I hope to get a lot of **** installed the weekend.

 

LOL

Plan first, then send. Kinda like measure twice cut once. I do understand your "problem" though. I to have had the no i'll do that later bug..Then two days later your kicking yourself and prepping to get it done anyway.

Enjoy, can't wait to see the "finished" product haha.


Travis

 

Yeah I plan, then decide, then do it, then decide of a better way to do it and start all over,

 

Oh and the undertrays are ready too

 

Very nice 9k.

What, no powder coat on the undertray?
Nice work. Liking the thumb screws - no tools.

 

What did you use to cut that tray? Looks allot like the edges that come out of our water jet.

 

Bingo, water jet. Local company cut them for us. The one I have been running for years was made by hand, big difference in quality,

 

very nice!
