Re: Introduce yourself

I'm Nate. In high school, I bought an Indy that I wanted to put a Super Duty 4cyl in to. Now I'm old and it's still not done, but at least those 529's are funded.

In my spare time, I'm an engineer who does ground testing for various aircraft.

Re: Dual Disk Clutches

Also, the engineer didn't like that the material under the bolt heads in my flywheel was only 0.270 thick in something other than 4140. I think it's A36 structural steel. My flywheel has the bolt holes down in individual counterbores, so the material around each bolt is thicker. Their flywheel has ...

Re: digital dash options?

I find configurable digital dashes very interesting. I'm interested in a mix/match, plug/chug style instrumentation and data acquisition system. CANBus compatibility seems to be growing pretty rapidly, even 3-4 years ago cross-compatibility of equipment was a nightmare. I think companies are starti...

Perfect. Both of the dashes mentioned above are known to have excellent compatibility with the MS3.

Adjustable Swaybar

I saw something on a Speed Academy video that you guys might find interesting. Probably old news to the guys who have payed more attention to racing suspension tech, but check out the adjustable swaybar on this Grand Am Corvette: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ7N2NEzIwA&t=128s VetteSway.jpg T...

Re: Engineering degrees

I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering. I get to work on a lot of pretty cool things inside the industry, but outside scope and applicability is somewhat limited. If you're interested in structures, I think an AE degree may give you the best understanding of that. As Will suggested, software and compu...

Re: CAD Stuff

If you have a CUDA enabled NVIDIA GPU, you might give Meshroom a shot. I've used it before with decent results.

Re: digital dash options?

What ECM are you running? The number of dashes with fairly good CANBus support is increasing every year. The Racepak IQ dashes are a good option, AEM has a good dashboard out...There are lots of options out there but compatibility with the digital communication protocols is extremely mixed. I'm curr...

Re: Let's see your guns!

Pops gave me a CZ-75 clone for my birthday. Took it apart, flared the magwell, did a little bit of internal polishing, and put some VZ grips on it. I like it! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/2wkeNfw339P1xN2QR2gRwSM6VjV0W6MayKZahEpHk9XaSuEqI_UuDg1gWX94SLuhNj3tRTFpGmkwcwgzfoWCkWVI-H3iisOf7dGA4LnO2z3...

Re: 262's R07 parts collection, AKA project "Full Retard"

The timing cover is carbon fiber, bolts to the front plate, and has holes for ventilation. this one has a couple of chips around the mounting holes, I might try to get a new one, but it's not high on the priority list, as it has no effect on function. http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr98/ericjon...

Re: Let's see your guns!

At what range can he hit things with that AR based rifle? I was under the impression AR's didn't make good long range rifles because of the influence of the gas tube on the barrel before the bullet left the muzzle. However, I don't see a gas tube on that one... what's going on? I've had recommendat...

Re: Let's see your guns!

Buy a used Accuracy International AE mk III in .308. It will perform equivalently to custom R700 based builds at pricing pretty much the same, without the same compromises made for the action and trigger that custom builds must make. Don't skimp on buying a good optic. The Bushnell Elite series has ...

Re: New Camaro!

I quite like it. GM said two years ago the styling would be an evolution of the fifth-gen. The new design checked every box I was expecting, and the performance will set new standards for the price range. oh but GM managed to drop 200 pounds from it, so the lightest model now weighs about what the h...

Nice guns, makes me want to buy an AR-15 variant with all these nice examples. Again, our gun laws are stupid and is pretty much the reason I don't already have one. Example- This first gun, a cheap AR-15 variant... Restricted. Can only take to a range and back, has to be kept locked up with a trig...

That's pretty interesting Will. I had a somewhat similar idea for a task-based note/reminder/tracking system which I will PM you about. It was actually one of the reasons I wanted to start developing. It seems that when you have 20 projects running concurrently you start to appreciate good tracking ...
