I've used modern zinc coated rivnuts, they seem to grab the body better than the originals and are less likely to spin. I have stainless rivnuts too but haven't tried them, I think you'd just want to...

I didn't see anything in this thread about ignition timing. Have you checked it?
It's easy to get high RPM with too much idle advance. Like if the solenoid is bad, disconnected, maybe vac hoses...
This was originally a DeLorean World article that I reformatted for a show I attended, a performance cross section of 1981 cars. During a big "omg youtube said its slow" comment era.
I added the...
Well... on my car anyway. YDMV.
It's pretty flimsy, you may be able to just let it hang far enough to get a ratcheting box end wrench on the nuts.
No, they don't. There is enough flex to remove the part without taking the sides off.
I have one I won't be using - send a PM if you haven't found one yet.
Modern pumps can cavitate just like originals, seems like you're just less likely to hear it. I got one of the new pumps to cavitate with a few too many 90-degree fittings. Added tank insulation and...
It gets in the way of literally nothing. Its easier to work around a QuickJack than a 2 post lift.
If you're setting suspension height or adjusting alignment it's extremely useful to raise and...
I have the 5000TL which reaches the jack plates just barely.
It's been great, very handy for multiple projects. My only advice is to be conscious of how level your garage is and the direction of...
No diagram but the idea is:
-Low load (low manifold pressure), terminal 11 not grounded
-High load (high manifold pressure), terminal 11 grounded
Timeout function mainly will prevent...
I use a leaf blower & silicone squeegee. Leaf blower is about the best way to get water out of the grille / taillights / side mirrors.
My total guess, could be way off. Would be curious if someone knows for sure:
The K-jet metering plate is a 2nd upstream throttle, the opening of which is determined by airflow & fuel pressure....
FreeCAD is an option. I just used it (along with the sheet metal plugin) to design a custom radiator fan shroud.
Its not as point-and-click as fusion/tinkercad but has far more powerful features....
That's a Model Y, a bit bigger than a Fiesta/Fusion. The CT actually slightly smaller than an F150.
I have a newer seal (probably 15 years or older by this part) and it does the same thing. Rubs against the roofbox, squeaks, and stalls the door opening.
It would make more sense for this to be a...
I too am running 6.5 degrees caster.
Cornering is great but with a manual rack you need to bring your good arms. It's understandable why book spec is way less.
Have you verified your USB supply voltage quality on a scope? Most of them are not well regulated.
I've personally had trouble over the years attempting to use USB as reference-level 5v causing all...
I've made a few interior parts in ABS but it can warp really bad on large pieces. An oven style printer with a fully heated chamber would make that better. A long thin part like the A pillar trim...
Is prototype the right word? It's more of a coachbuilt demo.
The red car is built on a Taycan. They posted a build photo that shows the characteristic suspension & frame of the Porsche.

If you installed a stock K24 motor, as built / no turbo, you'd have about 200hp and 166 lb-ft available.
More powerful than the larger PRV. With a tune & few simple mods, even more.
If you search...
Panel efficiencies are going up as costs are going down. We're in a similarly cloudy area and are on track for 10-12yr system payoff. You might be surprised.
We had a driving tour years ago come to a full stop on a 1.5 car-width road due to the same problem, right near a fairly blind corner. That was an exciting field service.
With the way this...
I've tried great clamps and crappy clamps.
Most hose sealing issues have turned out to be pipe issues. Usually either pitting, deposit build-up along the bead, and even one poorly crimped bead from...
With any EFI ECU that is set up to prime the pump at key-on, you will hear the fuel pump. It's hard to miss, so I'd not dig in to the pump/hose side of things just yet.
There should be an option...
