Ah ok, timelapse makes sense. I was like.. I see what looks to be a time laps ring but there is a flame like it was a still picture. EDIT: Haha doesn't look like he necessarily cares where he is aiming.

I don't know what I'm looking at in the bottom picture... :/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJa0BJzV-b4 WHY can I DEFINITELY see John or Paul dressing up and saying something like that?!

I see... Well to just be clear I'm not too concerned about safety. Hit any car from behind at 60mph and it won't be pretty. With the dripping sump, I'll just use the steel encased one then. All that is, is a plastic cell in a metal box, and the pickups are up top. I'm finding 16 gallon cells with sending units in them already, I say 16 now because I always fill up with 12 or 13 gallons but the FSM says a stock tank is like 15 + the sump thats added on. I guess I will always have 2 gallons left when it reads empty. The slosh issue, are you running FI, a turbo? If so, then yah its a big deal. Plus you probably race the car. My car is only a street. I have yet to attend a drivers edge event or whatever. Now... if I can get another tank and weld on a sump over towards the passenger side, because mine sits right in the center, then I can use a stock tank, with sump, and dual pipes. Of course thats only IF the stock tank allows for two 2" pipes to go under it. I'm planning on using megaphone tips too... Like I said, I need to get a tape measure and see what I'm dealing with. I think with all that said, I'm not too worried about the convenience of the car... I see your spal window cranks and its VERY appealing but then I remember there is no A/C, no heater, can't hear radio, loud car, no interior. It just doesn't matter anymore to me. Haha

Sounds like some sort of rendition of a porn star. On our UIL competition tests at school, if we didn't know the answer to a question we would put Peter North. If you don't know who he is, do a google, don't click on anything, just read the little summaries.... I have this installed. Honestly, mine didn't come with a sticker on it because it came with my carbs. I didn't know Fram made fuel filters, don't know if they're any good, but I use it up front and then those small cheap plastic ones in the back before the pump. (some pics I found on google):

Alright so, I need help with mounting ideas. I don't have dimensions yet but I will measure when I get a chance. The thing is that I want to keep the spare tire. I had a change of heart, may be a good idea to keep it. Even if its flat, its on a slot mag wheel so its like flat old tire I never bought, run it until its gone IF you really had to. With that said, there aren't really any places to put one... maybe if I use the area between the filler cap and the spare tire but thats rather small! I'm thinking if you get a long, wide, but shallow tank, you can utilize the strap bolt holes and bolts. Make straps out of flat iron, and use the space under the spare tire well, without intruding on exhaust space.

Meh same thing.

Don't know about "puff" but "spooky" was for the AC-130 I thought because they would setup the sound sensors around on the Hochi Minh trail and when they heard something they'd rape'em. Same thing for in caves and stuff I think too. I've been wrong in this thread like every time now so don't count me as a credible source!

Easy way to get a core.

Yep thats the one I was referring to. So in order to use a stock gauge with a 0-90 you have to... get rid of resistance...? Is that even possible? Perhaps the 70-10 unit and pack on 20ohm to the 70. I do notice that they advertise 0-90 ohms and then they say 70-10 ohms. The 70-10 is reversed so empty is more resistance or something? I'll figure it out. EDIT: Dad and I reread over that thread and of course as an electrical engineer he's freaking out because things aren't adding up in the thread. We have to understand that on the FOT (friends of Triumph) forum, which Dad is a part of, those dudes are so anal and ridiculous they'll chew you out for misunderstandings like that. Especially since if you own a Triumph, you need to be an electrical engineer. All sorts of wiring ♥♥♥♥ from the factory. Haha

I don't think the cheap ones have any sort of baffling in them, because well... they're cheap. I'm pretty sure its just a plastic tank and the fuel either sits in a bladder or it sits right in the tank. The metal case ones are simply a metal box built around a plastic tank because most rules say the tank has to be encased in metal. My main concern is the resistance. I asked Dad how I could find out what full and empty was and the only think we can think of is just fill the tank all the way, run it down all the way and measure those two points. I did a search and can't find anything definite. Only thing close was how to get your autometer gauge to read properly and it shows like "stock unit" and "gauge" but I don't think that applies for me. I'll take another look at it. I already planned on doing a resistor setup like he did if I need to. My tank has a sump on it but the sump angles towards the front, I'm use to them angle towards the rear so it scares me with these horror thoughts of it catching on something freak me out but I figured if anything hits that, the direction of the angle won't matter, I'll still have a huge hole in the bottom. The previous owner made it himself and he said he had drilled a hole in the bottom of the original tank, maybe like a 3" hole, and then he welded on the sump, so it kind of makes a whole separate tank on the bottom. Pretty cool, makes it so that fuel can't slosh out of the sump area because it would have to travel up and through the hole. Not too concerned about the pickup thing because even with a proper dual pump setup, if the fuel does slosh to one side, what stops the one pump from blowing air into the fuel line when the 2 converge. I was thinking if I take off the hard plastic fuel pipe that goes from the filler cap and through the inside of the car, replace that with a giant rubber hose. If not, I don't mind opening the hatch and filling. Keep the fill cap over to one side rather than right in the center of the hatch. I rarely fill the back up all the way because the car will squat. Haha They do make giant 3" and 4" "remote" fuel lines too. Just get that and utilize your stock filler. You get a bad case of Dragon-ass when you do that. Last time I transported an L24 and its head back to the house....

I saw that :[ Trying to find it somewhere else. Here, have this instead: Double Griffon, 4 prop plane. :]

I'm wanting to get rid of my gas tank and use a fuel cell. Nothing fancy since I won't be racing in any clubs. Doing a fuel cell for dual exhaust since my tank has a sump welded onto it. I'm looking at some of those black plastic tanks. Need a 12 gallon tank with a sending unit. Here's the deal though... I can't find the plastic type of that size with a sending unit so I looked at the metal case ones except those don't have the sump in them... I'm seeing Summit has a 16 gallon plastic with a sending unit which I guess will be fine but they have 0-90ohms, 70-10ohm, 240-33ohm, etc I don't know which one I need for a stock gauge (fuel and voltmeter, not fuel and ammeter) ah! So my question is, how does everyone like their plastic cells, will the 0-90ohm unit on these new tanks fine with our stock fuel gauge, and lastly, anyone using the stock filler for their cell? Plastic fuel cells look kinda cheesy but hey, it will be hidden. Oh and also, for dual pickups racers generally use dual pumps, however I'm not doing that. I thought about maybe have the two joined together at a T and then going into one hose to the pump however if fuel sloshes over, the pump is going to get air from one of the sides so the whole concept is ruined? Not sure.

After all John, its 1.5 tons of... I'll keep my opinions to myself. 3000 pounds X the velocity of the car hitting the ground, does any floor pan hold up to those forces? Seems like the cage would need better base plate points or something. Roll bars are good, they allow the windshield to fold in but nothing behind you can. Perfect for face peels, if you're lucky maybe a face crush. Anyone see pictures of that before? >_> I've seen way too many faces split open like flowers and skinned for my own good.

Take that alternator damnit!

Shows you how much I know about airplanes eh?

Lo siento porfavor. Calling him may be a better way. All the info about how to contact him may be somewhere around here. Try a search for Justin Hodges, check his site too, and lastly, become a member of the site or something. I signed up when I was waiting for the apparel stuff after he was booted from here and I get some sort of email update thing with people talking about him and whether they received their stuff or not. I just delete them but you may be able to get some sort of info from there. The only other thing I have to say is be patient. If I had it my way I'd have a couple words for him but whatever. Try to be positive, be patient with him getting back to you, and just remember that the worst that could happen is that you don't get the parts at all. Of course, I'm not the one to speak since I only had $35 invested.

Oh and don't forget, those are the mods who had to hear about it from all of us when something went wrong. HybridZ was like a medium in which Justin was doing his business through so when people were having problems they went to HBZ "officials" and of course, since the forum was only a medium in which business was being made, there isn't much the mods or admins can do. Especially since this is a forum and not an auction site. They could maybe like, influence him, give him a little nudge or something in case he forgot about all the business he had. Basic point from that long tedious thread is that people went to mods and admins, they can't do much of anything, they explained, still nothing, they get annoyed and maybe even tell their wives about it in which they probably got scolded like my step mom would do to my dad acting like its his fault, therefore making mods pissed even more which equals Juggernaut ban hammer time or something like that. No just kidding. The animated icons really express the situation. Its a dead horse being beaten. I'd put it on my list of taboo subjects.

Yah but see, you guys are telling me WHAT role prop airplanes played during the war but I want to know WHY they chose a prop over a jet fitted with all the assortments. Kinda like how we have the A10 today, its a jet used to kill **** on the ground. I guess its not that big of a concern to me, I was just curious.

I've always wondered why we used prop planes in Vietnam. Dad told me one time but I forgot. :/

Some sort of Racing Spitfire. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=53a_1256505040 Edit! Woops not Spitfire, my humiliating bad. Mustang!

I don't want to sound like a jerk or anything but I don't think Justin and his affairs are suppose to be discussed here anymore. After **** hit the fan a couple of months ago the mods and admins said no more which is why he has his own forum. There are many mixed opinions, I for one received my shirt, took a while, wasn't the right color (got white but wanted black because I'm bound to stain it somehow) was an accident though so I don't take it harshly, but I didn't have a ton of money invested and didn't mind waiting. As long as I received my stuff I was cool. Like everyone else, I have my own opinions on Justin and his business but I keep it to myself so I don't have to jump into a flame retardant suit and so I don't have to face RTz, Braap, or Johnc ... Papa Bears, I love'em. :malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch:malebitch :beatdeadh:beatdeadh:beatdeadh:beatdeadh:beatdeadh:beatdeadh:beatdeadh:beatdeadh:beatdeadh:beatdeadh:beatdeadh:beatdeadh:beatdeadh:beatdeadh

Fine you're right. I still managed to weasel my sorry ass back to this thread.
