What do you guys think about this????

For making small pieces, pulleys, brackets, distributor adapters...............

[FearThe4Doors]

you can keep it at my house if you want

[rb70383]

I bet...:lol::lol:

[mpbiv]

I could use one of those in the dorm :)

Actually I might be able to use the SAE shop to sneakily fabricate stuff for the K

Too bad the K is in Ocoee :(

[rb70383]

So if you fabricated something for your K and it just happened to be the exact measurements i need...............................

[mpbiv]

LOL well like I said sneakily, there are a few machine shop nazis there that might not like me doing that. I'll have to see who they put in charge of what this year.

[FearThe4Doors]

are you bigger than them?

[mpbiv]

250lbs of badass Maurice could probably throw around everyone except for Sammy who is a wrestler.

Oh well I will have to wait until I take my design class where they require you to make something. Two of the guys last year built a go cart for this class.

[rb70383]

Sweet a billet frame go cart. Just need transparent ah-lou-mini-um

Actually they made a tubular steel space frame go cart, but they also had to machine custom spindles and hubs and blah blah blah. I don't think there was any aluminum on the go cart, but there is plenty on the formula car among other things (magnesium, titanium, carbon fiber, kevlar, etc etc).

[rb70383]

You should make some new old car spindles, taller, of course, for better camber gain :D and maybe sectoion a lower ball joint for faster steering ratio. Of course all for the K. Jeff and I will be the doormen to the shop. Hmm I could see it now, looking like Dexter's laboratory.

Jeff don't touch that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't hurt da widdle wabbit :(

[flybyuin2.2]

that is a nice set up for making small parts but then you have to buy all the tools that's another $1K bucks but i guess it all pays offf in the end a friend of mine makes boost controllers with similar machine(lathe only) and sure makes good money doing it on his free time :)

How could I not notice. I think today at secret services i think i saw a tear shed from those beauties............that might have been from the insanely rich first run though.......

[mpbiv]

BTW what was going on at secret services today, I saw your post giving them a lot of praise. Did you dyno the Neon or something?

[leadfootedfool]

maybe....

[CrazyMoparGirl]

[leadfootedfool]

[mpbiv]

I have to dyno the 2.5 when I finish my mods, and before I go turbo.

Cutting bits, mill bits, chucks, reams, etc etc etc. These tools, plus a few dial calipers and dial guages. Not to mention a constant supply of oil. All those bits and tools add up, and I am not even listing most of the crap you'll need.

Exactly. See if you can get a hold of a MSC catalog, they have all the stuff you could possibly need for machining. I think the catalog is over 1000 pages, cannot remember for sure.

[rb70383]

actually the one I have is 3888 pages. Not including the index. Never looked in there for the machines, but I know they should have all the little bits.

[mpbiv]

I guess I haven't been corrupted yet

[leadfootedfool]

for more info see sig

[FearThe4Doors]

wonder if the dial-uppers approve of those

[mpbiv]

no dial up here, I heard brian is making you a gif like that hamster one but with a sheep

[FearThe4Doors]

808 had one.. its just not animated

[leadfootedfool]

Dialuppers can lick my balls. I'm about to put all the demonic gifs back in my sig, have my sig be a page long.

[whore]

the demonic hampster?

now.. if horns popped out of his head upon full penetration.. that would be somethin

[flybyuin2.2]
