Here goes,

I'll take the old stuff off now.
By morning it should be done.

Old:

Is it me or are you stalling to get busy

cheers,

Jeroen

Here is the painted LE dam and 1/4" thick x 6" tall rubber strip I will use.

Very durable rubber from the suction head of a street sweeper.

Finished pics to follow.

Yes, I'm stalling.

KT

How rigid is that rubber? I made a dam for my car using some 3" conveyor belting.. I think it needs to be more rigid. Its clears the ground by about 2" and scrapes under heavy braking....

Tim, this rubber is very rigid. It will stand up on it's own...Like my dirty laundry.

The old stuff is off now.

Air tools are guud

KT

Don't go up steep hills.

BTW Tim, that air dam is exactly what I really want.

Where can I get?

Here's the ridgid shot.

Here's something the PO unknowingly taught me.

Duct tape your bones to minimize frustration.
Esp when working alone.

KT

The air damn on my car is a IMSA dam, I think AIR or Getty make them

Trekkor, I don't think that's the air dam you were talking to me about yesterday.

dude... what are you doing with the old one?
lemme know.
would be a great addition to my car..... (i'd fix it)

oh..btw. i love my azenis's too!

Falken should be paying me...


B

Why? No one else does!

DOH!

Damn.. right again Jon !!

They will when we spam them with shirts/hats/mugs... stupid stuff..



B

one bad thing bout the falkens...

jeff (jenny's bro) said 'dont expect more than 6k miles outta them...

crap. theyre on my street car <_<

That's O.K.

That will be about 2 years of driving, at my 200 miles a month.

Had to step out for the evening.

Should I brew some coffee or plink on the board?

Hmmmm...It is cool out

KT

Unfair Mr. T.

You adding speed equipment after we agreed on a handicap for Alameda.

You're just going to kick my butt, unless I can find something to do to make my car faster.

Of course, only the Shadow KNOWS!

Next thing you'll be doing is BBQ'ing Tri-Tip on Saturday to make us steak eaters weigh more in the PM session.

BTW Mr. T. have you seen the size of the 205 Hoosier AutoX tires? The answer is a second to a second and a half, that's the difference. Unbelievable.

Aaron,

Jenny's brother rides a motorcycle.. how would he know ??LOL

They have a 200 treadware rating.. They will last a lot longer than 6kmiles.

And at.. 65-75 a tire... who cares.. CHEAP stick.


B

cheap for you is different than cheap for me.... but i love the grip. cant lock up brakes easily anymore (M calipers/stock rears)


poor college student....

B <<< poor 914 wrench

I feel your pain.


I *might* be able to put brake pads on my truck this month.. it has needed them since Parade July 4th.



B

Oh, I *forgot* to tell you Randal, I put a turbo'd 3.6 in last night.

sorry about that...

Trek

Brad...join the army and make throngs of money like me
Jared

Still fooling around with this thing

Trekkor,

Looks good, where did you score the rubber?


Aaron,

I have the falkens on my 90 BMW 325 daily driver...clocked about 10K+ on them already and still have about half tread left. And I have met a guy with an accura that got 28K out of his set and that was autoxing every month.

My bmw is a good 700lbs heavier than a teener, so you should get a solid 20K outa them if not more...unless you start tracking them...

They are defin the next tires that are going on the teener...

Tony c.

We all like competition, so bring it on!!!!

BTW I saw a complete 3.2 with LSD and all the nice pieces last night. It would bolt right into your car. All anyone needs to do is to call Brad and bring money.

You missed my comment about the tires, but I guess with a 3.6 you'll need monster slicks like Bill.

Actually I heard Bill is going to put duelies on the back to keep the power down. He's worried about the body panels, but you can lend him the ones off your truck.

Yow!!!

After some sleep, I've decided that power isn't important.

I'll be putting the motor from one of those " pocket motorcycles " in my car. Save on gas money$$$

What class would I run in?

O.K. , so I need more sleep. <_<

Trekkor

Here's the finished product.

Help me think of a name.

Mocked up.

Notice I can still clear a brick

I'll mount it *sometime* <_<

we shall call him "snowplow" ....

looks good.... pop rivets equally spaced.....A+ job.
hope it works

Thanks, I actually went "Top Shelf".

Those fasteners are hex head metrics with washers and lock nuts.

Trekkor

you could call it an "air damitall." it looks cool. will the improved aerodynamics help the pocket motorcycle engine push you faster?

My vote is for Betty.

Hey, nice work Trekkor. Those fasteners look like the studs on the black leather the Harley guys like. Maybe everyone will start calling you "stud". Nahh, probably not! Looks like you're stuck with Betty!

I need a better name. .

I'll use four across the front and one on each side.
I'll need to weld on some mount plates for proper fitment.

I'll be sweeping streets in no time...

KT

Where can I get this street sweeper rubber?

Call Tom Lutz at :
Sweeper Sales
530-795-9860

I saw him today and told him my 914 crowd might want to buy rubber by the foot.

Ask about various sizes and thicknesses for your application.

He ships daily.

Tell him I sent you
