I'm in love with the very reasonably priced 1200 in the classifieds here. I never have monies when I have desires :(.

 

You are either rich with time while poor with money, or rich with money while poor with time. 

 

I find myself poor with both. 

 

I see great deals fly by and feel your pain.

I have known about these H145 gear sets for a couple of years...just took awhile to come up with the $'s to make the deal happen. Gear sets were cryogenic treated for strength.

Will used them for autocross this year in SMURF.

Nice score, Morrisun! From the looks of it, those gear sets might have been REM treated also. Either that or the guy had OCD, a lot of spare time on his hands, a stack of fine grit emery cloth, a tub of Never-Dull metal polish and a box of polishing rags.  Probably the latter, considering the finish carpentry storage boxes.  :-)

Tried to get the fuel gauge working.  Tried 2 different sending units and no luck.  Man, I really don't want to replace the gauge in the dash, so I will put this off until the 12th of never.

Tank sending unit only has one connector and the lead is direct from the connector that plugs into the circuit board, the gauge bolts to the instrument cluster and the nuts create the contact.  It all seems fairly simple.......the only reason I thought I should attempt it.  It would appear I should stop doing my own thinking. :crying:

I need another possibly. 

 

Let me know if I can help. 

 

 

How hard is hydraulic e brake conversion?

 

It's not for the faint-hearted...   ^_^

 

It's not too bad. Just rerouting brake lines, etc. If you read back through my build thread there's a decent amount of info there on it. 

 

No info on tech wiki i could find

 

I guess they finally stopped stealing from me then?   :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:
