dutchzcarguy Posted July 9, 2020 Share #3290 Posted July 9, 2020 Hello Mark, I follow your build a little... and think it's going to be a very nice car! only the door carts... You should have put some foam inbetween? That would look much better if i dare say... Just a few mm thick is sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have put some foam inbetween? That would look much better if i dare say... Just a few mm thick is sufficient. What you’re looking at is three or four layers of foam on that panel. The roll of it is on the tool box to the right... about 4mm’s total on each door panel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the wrong foam? why is it so wobly? 1 sheet of 3mm thick shout work out better, now the added ones don't make it flatter.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share #3293 Posted July 9, 2020 The spray glue curled it a bit but it flattened out as it dried. The panels look flat now. Getting the thicker single layer foam was almost impossible locally and I didn’t want to wait a month for it to be shipped online. Upholstery shops in the next city wanted $100 a roll for foam.... nope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people don't know that you can, but it's not easy to find it. In fact, there are a small number of installers who are licensed to use R12 and if you find one, you can get the system recharged. It costs at least twice as much as using R134. I found such an installer locally last year and paid $200 for the fill. It was well worth it to avoid changing components in the AC system, although I would do that if needed. Edited July 18, 2020 by Pilgrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheee! Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share #3296 Posted July 16, 2020 Been lurking on this thread to the point where I feel emotionally invested haha. Please post videos! So excited. No fireworks. No fireworks and no firing...Having technical issues with the voltage settings in the CAS from OneSix. Tim (the inventor) has been super helpful but the low crank speeds and the super low voltage output of the Toyota inductors requires pre setting the voltages in Haltech very accurately. Cranking provides about 150-200 rpm and my hand drill can only go down to about 220 rpm with no real control. I need to hook up a small electric motor with a variable speed control to set The voltages correctly at low rpm so that the trigger signal fires the COPs at low speed cranking. 220 rpm throws sparks like crazy.... not much below that. Nothing is ever simple.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zKars Posted July 16, 2020 Share #3297 Posted July 16, 2020 And the lord said “let there be a HALL EFFECT” and man thence invented the Hall Effect sensor and there was peace, happiness and simple little velocity independent, constant voltage square waves across all the lands.... I saw it and it was good. My apologies to the original author..... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've repurposed that thing for so many different test applications that I've forgotten half of them. Here it is recently spinning up a Z distributor so I can poke around inside the stock ignition module: * Best time around here to find such a thing is in the spring. 1) People are doing "spring cleaning", and 2) The luster of the new year's resolutions have worn off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
