Why not have a set of jackstands maids that way they’re always on the stands and never on the hydraulics for too long?Not to mention, if they do fail, the frame will be sitting on the jackstands, not the ground.
My plan is to lift the trailer and use cribbing under the retracted front landing gear at a height that’ll prevent damage and allow to hook back up.
This has been a pretty cool story, you sir are a crafty dude.
I know it’s just a Honda but this is my sons car and I wanted both my kids to learn a manual, for general purpose . It’s a swapped 95 motor in a 97 shell
I see a lot of cars using a K&N style intake such as this one, but without any engine compartment heat isolation (Box) and a means of cold air (Or outside air) supply. In this case heat exacerbated by headers.
Damn, that turned out nice, we're in the process of demoing our main bathroom and rid the bath tub. Do you have aby other pics of the shower?Finishing up converting the laundry room/storage into a stacked washer and dryer and full bath. Going to use a stainless steel kitchen sink so that it will be like a laundry tray with pull out faucet. Looking forward to getting this done. Still have to order up glass doors for all the bathrooms.Then going to rip out the windows and kitchen sometime this year as well. That is a bout it.

Thanks. The Murphy gauges are pretty slick. They also have that timeless look. I learned about them from working on these saws.
It absolutely is not doing it any favors , but a while 125 hp , it doesn’t have much to loose. Washington state West side of the mountains don’t have too many hot days to contend with
Cool jig
I agree , we bought it with the swap and I was trying to keep it simple, but with a lot of learning along the way , time , and money , I probably could of k swapped it
I plug in and monitor stuff quite a bit on the road…while I’m not dumb enough to install any K&N garbage, I’ve seen IATs north of 140 degrees and things still ran just fine. I’d venture to guess you had something else going on.
K swap Da world
I'm fairly certain, that on a 110 + degree day and engine off with the hood closed while refueling and pee stop, IATs , latent heat both under the hood and within the aluminum intake tube from the air cleaner to the MAS, were rather excessive. I'd imagine easily exceeding 140s.
looks good, i know you have put a good amount time into this box, but i see 4 places where wires change color? i was always taught thats a nono, is there a reason? not trying to nit pick, just want to learn.
My only hard rule is a ground is never red/orange and a hot(12v) is never black.
that makes sense. ive chased wires that change 3-4 colors in a run that drives me nuts. i figured in this situation with a custom box there was a better reason than "thats what color i had".its common. What you @ltbaney1 see is the standard color code for the base connectors for the common 5pole relay. it is way more feasible to connect to than press the connectors out. Ive done it, but I wouldnt dare in a DCB
the main thing you dont want is wires changing color mid run wear it might not be seen. 2-3" inches from the end of the run wear it can all clearly be seen is not the end of the world. just have to ask yourself how bad your OCD is
Very nice! Here's one a friend built many years ago.
Updates?
Flashback
Damn, those must be some Super Heavy Duty Tyewraps strapping the snapped pole to that temp support pole
So cool you made that for your dad. It’s a very involved piece. So involved, the thought of putting it in the water alone gives me anxiety lol. Static decor only!
Haha i saw that too looking at it this morning.
Zip ties, haha jk there was enough weight from the phone and it was balanced enough couple rope slings seemed to do the trick.Damn, those must be some Super Heavy Duty Tyewraps strapping the snapped pole to that temp support pole
So he or somebody drilled holes in the pipe, is the end capped or have a baffle stuck in it ? Very cool bikes !! Brit bikes --- cardboard, checkMy buddy and I used to ride together on our brit bikes back in 1989 till 1992, Fast forward today, I still ride my 1958 Matchless 500 single I built from a basket case in 1989. My bike still looks the same today, his needs a total going over, since he parked the bike in 1993, Today he gave me the bike to restore it for myself. I probably won't ride it anytime soon, hence track is open and I will drive till the end of October. Pretty stoked to have the 650CC Matchless , since it has faster top end to keep up with other buddies with their Harleys.
The 500cc Single

The 1961 G12 650 twin, sans mufflers. He had siameze two into one setup and now back to original twin pipes. I'll get the mufflers from Feked Classic Bikes in England.
