I intend on making myself titanium connecting rods. Don't tell me its a bad idea. I'm already set on doing it. BUT, I want input on the exact shape. I'm assuming that the structure has to be a little different to downplay brittleness in titanium. Porsche factory did titanium. Does anyone have one that could take a picture for me?

I'll see what I can do... it has been a long time since I had contact with those guys, but an "old boss" might still have the connection on the coating...
BTW, wasn't implying you think you are a god or in your own world... I said at 20 I thought I was a god... and when I was 20 most of the things I did went far beyond (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) and straight to insane (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/av-943.gif) I still laugh when I recall my first time on Willow Springs - guy let me drive his vintage 70 Mustang Boss 302 T/A car for a couple of laps and on the second lap ever in a race car I was running 145+ down the front straight "bumping the rev limiter" - then when I came in he asked how many rpm I was turning because he could hear the valves floating (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) Some rev limiter. I had that car in a complete 4-wheel drift through turn 5 on that lap too when it used to be narrow running a double apex - I would line up the second apex fully sideways and nail the throttle to hook it back up. I lost those balls about 5 years ago (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) He let me drive that car quite a bit after that "as long as I paid for 1/2 the tires and kept it below 7500" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) If I can track that coating info down, I will PM you, but trust me, there is about a 1% chance on that. I am so bad with names... I knew it 8 years ago, but thinking back, we were talking to no less than 10 different aerospace coaters throughout the Southwest/Ca area and I can't remember a single name. Too much info for my long term memory to retain... what was the question? |
