  1. I'm going to run a Greddy intake with a single throttle body. I would like to get rid of the stock injector manifold to further clean up the intake. I cant seem to find an aftermarket manifold. I know others have plugged the coolant ports but I am hoping theres a better solution. Any recommendations? Thanks

  2. I just lucked into an ATI Super damper with approx 10k on it for $ 350.00. Also, the shop had a brand new, still half wrapped in plastic, never installed Tomei RB28. I almost soiled myself when I saw it on the stand. The guy was getting nervous because of all the finger prints I was putting on it. I was told for $ 28k I could have one too. It was glorious.

  3. Theres no magic solution for your problem. With projects of varying complexity, comes varying turnaround times. If you made the same widget over and over, you would know how many welders it took to make X amount of parts in Y amount of time. Nearly every job is different in my shop. I maintain a set number of welders and vary the delivery times according to the present workload. Only when delivery's get unacceptable, do I bring in more help.

    It sounds like your company needs a person to constantly manage that aspect and hire/layoff as needed. Good luck.

  4. "looks way better" and is a much harder paint. Ive always thought the roller/rustoleum was a bad idea due to the durability issue. Can someone that has gone the roller route chime in and tell me how its holding up. Ive heard plenty of people say how well it turned out and how much money they saved but no long term reports.

     

    Your 16 yrs old, and will most likely be in this spot again in the future. I say buy an inexpensive gun and learn how to paint. Build the sheet poly booth, strap on a resporator and give it heck.

  5. For aggresive driving, I'd go with leather over suede. The suede will seperate from the wheel pretty fast. I had a Sparco wheel and the suede was junk after a couple trips to the Dragon ( and a couple of track days in between ). Probably wouldnt have happend with power steering, but with the force needed to turn an s30 with a 13.5" wheel , your hands will just tear it up. OR, maby the Sparco isnt as good as the price tag and reputaion indicates. I'm thinking one of those welded chain steering wheels should hold up pretty well.
