Thanks for the kind words gang, makes the 300 man-hour scramble these last two months seem all the more worth it.Applebees Appetizer posted:So the trailer was cheap for a reason then Splurged on new greasable suspension parts with proper bushings instead of nylon sleeves as well as a complete set of new wheel bearings and seals just to be safe.  The badly ovaled equalizer mounting holes required some tricky welding using a copper backer on both the inboard and outboard mounting tab but amazingly the new hole ended up with zero porosity  Coredump posted:Shine on you crazy diamond. Also.... did you make it?  Some assembly required and one short 13 hour tow to New York later and boom; we're registered, stickered, and ready for tech inspection with only an ancient SCCA rallycross logbook and a freshly prepped rally car at our disposal  It only took two passes through scrutineering (harness safety wire and beefy bolts for the extinguishers) but we'd officially made a NASA legal stage rally car!  Rally may be a tiny sport in the states but it definitely makes a big presence in the small towns it runs in. Super humbling to be lined up with rally legends like several MK2 Escorts, tons of Subarus and Evos, an FB RX7, and even the Ecuadorian Swift we've seen at Sandblast  On Friday we took an opportunity to run the 1 mile shakedown course several times each, it was a rocky start for both of us reading stage notes for the first time but it actually seemed to click on the 2nd or 3rd run. Heading back to service the only thing we noticed was a heavy raw fuel smell, thankfully that only turned out to be a loose hose clamp on the filler neck. Lucky break compared to the 2-3 cars that broke down for the rest of the weekend during their shakedown runs. Took it nice and easy our first day as the durability of an old rallycross car thrown into the roughest stage rally in North America was a huge unknown.  The Swift is a truly hilariously fun little car to huck down forest roads, it'd only be more enjoyable if the roads hadn't been completely decimated from a day of heavy rains and twenty much wider rally cars bombing down them. They were "fist sized and larger rock" roads rather than gravel. By mid day Saturday we had the driver's side wiper linkage break from shock loading on stage making continuing look impossible. Somehow in the moment I remembered they were on splines, rotating the passenger's side wiper vertical like a Koenigsegg gave the driver a decent view but blinded the codriver as soon as we hit the wet sections (a livable sacrifice). In a hurry to get back on schedule we pulled away without setting the hood pins, crunch went our two week old windshield and one of the hood hinges. Still an absolutely gorgeous view waiting outside of time control  Two days and 140 brutal stage miles later and we somehow came out the other side having only lost the radiator fan, a windshield, wiper linkage, gained several sidewall bulges in the tires, and a slightly broken left front suspension!   Plenty of stuff I'm leaving out from the prep side for now (intercom, kill switch, mounting spares, vents, etc) and I still have loads of photos and a half dozen hours of in-car footage to tear into from the rally. Getting 8th overall and 4th in class is a mindblowing result for us, finishing was the only thing on our minds the whole time. Only 10 cars completed the event out of 26, that's a huge attrition rate for a NA rally and that wasn't lost on us after seeing so many wrecked cars on stage. My co-driver/co-owner and I traded duties twice a day to share in the experience (for those curious co-driving is genuinely the same level of fun as driving) and got a solid foundation to build on for events next year.  Rally. Isn't. Dead.

Not quite that insane, just the more modest requirement of lock wiring or pinning the latches on our eye-bolt-and-latch style harnesses. Complete pain in the rear end to reach the belts under the seat but we managed to do it blind. It's probably a combination of not pushing the car 10/10ths, the road surface, and the air temp (2-10°C) but we didn't see any pressure rise in the tires indicating significant heating. We're running some bargain Maxsport RB3 hard compound tires, treadwear seems minimal except for the occasional sheared block from the sharp rocks and getting stuck in ruts out on stage, couldn't have asked for more grip. Only photo posted from the event so far, might need a hair more rear spring rate   60GB+ of in car footage to cut some clips together from tonight. Only thing that sticks out at me right now is the need for a separate multichannel audio recorder; the audio is currently terrible and our intercom has an audio out channel so it'd be really easy to get that synced with the video feed for the next event.

Holy crap those competition tires are cheap, I have my own huge rallycross course and have been looking for tires for my 323 GTX and getting tired (ha!) of $20 used tires that barely last an hour before I tear them open. Also, if you have a a stereo input on your camera, you can get a stereo splitter to use an external amplified mic for one channel and pipe the intercom audio into another. Peltor and Terratrip stuff would need to probably have a potentiometer put in as they output line level and most cameras expect amplified mic level. I don't know what intercom you have, but I used to integrate intercoms for offroad racing and that was a semi-common thing to do.

Kaptainballistik posted:That’s some really open stages! Speaking of the Swift I think I'll start there with what I've been up to this last month. Turns out we managed to bend two of the beefy Compomotive rally wheels on rocks and potholes. Still going to run them at the next event since they didn't lose any pressure throughout ESPR, the change in balance won't be noticeable considering how much dirt gets packed into the wheels  After tearing into the suspension to figure out what broke and allowed the wheel to shift 1" backwards we first noticed the ball joint was completely obliterated and grabbed a spare control arm to swap in. The old arm wasn't bent which was a surprise, it turns out the entire LCA mounting section of the body had been shoved backwards and outwards in the impact.  While measuring everything to find the bent sections, numerous rust patches in some worryingly structural areas showed up and were patched with thicker plate steel to compensate. Cracks in certain areas led us to conclude that the whole LCA mounting area was way under supported  I think this big chunk of carefully notched and cut 2"x2"x0.125" angle iron doubled up in the middle with some added gussets should do the trick  It ties the two front bolts of the LCAs together and prevents the same failure mode the car experienced at ESPR. Some come-along action with my truck brought the car back to mostly square but it'll always have a slightly shorter driver's side wheelbase.  Also made a new hood hinge to fix the one that snapped in half when the hood flipped up during a transit, fixed a broken exhaust hanger, and started mounting an LED light bar to get ready to run after dusk at Sandblast in two weeks. Besides a new windshield, a power wash, and some new fluids, the Swift should be ready to rock.  Earlier in the year the F250 started acting remarkably funky and would only run at either idle or full throttle with a horrific stumble at any part throttle condition. After some head scratching I traced all of that back to a bad intake air and coolant temperature sensor wiring harness grounding out causing the ECU to switch to -40° cold start mode. Removing the massive intake manifold wasn't quite as bad as I was expecting and I took the time to clean up the wiring and reset the throttle body stops and idle circuit while I was at it  The other issue was a reasonably common problem with these trucks; three bad capacitors in the ECU which are responsible for the sensor wiring reference 5V line. They were easy enough to replace with a standard soldering iron, problem totally solved. Thanks 1980s EFI!  The other quality of life improvement was replacing the desiccated and crusty door and side window seals. These chunks only rank slightly lower on the sharpness scale than obsidian scalpels  The reduction in wind noise is staggering, it makes the truck feel a solid decade newer now that air isn't being sucked out of the cab right next to my head around the window.  Not wanting to feel left out from wiring problems, the Insight decided that the roof water leak should become even worse and soak the whole battery and power electronics brick in the trunk leading to a complete electrical freakout and some false engine/IMA codes. I tore most of the interior out, got the inside to 110°F at 8% RH and dried it out for several days. I've been driving it like this for weeks with the high voltage wiring all exposed, I need to tear the roof trim off and reseal everything as soon as the weather warms up.  That not-so-warm weather got to the point where I ended up with a nice layer of ice on the inside of my decidedly southern uninsulated garage door. Jamming this vinyl backed styrofoam insulation kit into it raised my basement temperatures a solid 5°F so it should pay for itself within a year.  In a garage improvement kind of mood I went and grabbed 80' of 1" box tubing for various projects with my 100% definitely legal truck side brackets  Did a lot of cutting and grinding  and made stands for the 29,000 lumens worth of vapor/explosion rated LED lights I'll be using in my paint booth this year for the Opel. I was constantly fighting a losing battle with the sun while painting the Neon, this should be a marked improvement.  A few more feet of box tubing went into making this overhead storage solution for my 20-23' long sections of roll cage stock and box tubing. Each of the riser clamps are rated at more than a half ton so this 200lb load of steel should be plenty safe. No one call OSHA on me, please.  Getting back to the Opel I finished planning out the remaining interior panels, redesigned the hangers for the rear parcel tray, and clearanced it for a future access hole to the sending unit and fuel lines.  The only other part requiring the car to be mostly assembled was this bastard of a throttle cable bracket. It doesn't look like much but the underside is wildly contoured to fit several protuberances off the throttle body and I went through a half dozen prototypes to get it right  With that done I assumed the service position to get the front suspension, engine, and transmission out  and jammed most of an entire car into my weightlifting rack to get it out of the way  Looking at the monthly average temperatures I should be able to start shooting primer in late May without having problems with condensation and flash off times. Now I just need to finish up two little bracket fab projects in the interior, weld in 48 captive nuts, weld closed 76 unneeded screw holes, and hand sand/scuff all of these heavily contoured interior, engine bay, and underbody surfaces for paint prep before I even think about the body panels.  Good thing I love paint prep so much

Made it to Sandblast! Some pretty serious hardware on display this year including a proper M-Sport Fiesta, some madman in a Rage Buggy, and a boatload of motorcycles from small displacement singles to massive KTM V-twins and BMW boxers  After making it through scrutineering we set up camp for ourselves (backpacking hammock on the left and tent on the right) as well as the massive five-man tent in the middle for our crew  At our level it's generally good practice to make the notes novice friendly by highlighting the numerous cautions, removing spectator callouts, and hiding the +/-es to reduce the mental load on the driver/codriver. Reviewing the notes the night before also gives us a chance to get a rough idea of how each stage flows, NASA includes some flavor text at the start of each stage in the notes which goes a long way towards the same goal.  ~RACE DAY~ We made it through the first stage and 75% of the second before hitting a deep mud bog that had already consumed two cars. We made it most of the way through and escaped with only a quick tow from a marshal to get us moving again. What neither of us considered in the moment is the massive amount of mud we had just driven through, a wheelbarrow load had been jammed into the grill and completely blocked the radiator. Cue the check engine light coming on and the car overheating to the point of stalling out on a large soft sand hill  The mud from the perspective of an AWD Subaru shortly after we got through for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eri_5r4sAc&t=23s We sat waiting for the next car for far more than the one minute starting gaps would suggest, it turns out we were one of the last cars to make it through the mud; several heavy sweep trucks were pulling cars out one by one and wouldn't make it to us for an hour. After getting dragged to a side road and flat towed back to service by our crew we made short work of pulling the radiator, hosing it out, reinstalling, bleeding, and getting back on pace. We missed the middle three stages but it didn't matter, the most important thing was that the Swift seemed unharmed after boiling off all but a few quarts of coolant!  The final four stages were an absolute blast, especially the final stage in complete darkness. There's something about a night stage that takes your concentration and trust in your co-driver to unbelievable levels, I'm certain I was pushing harder in the dark than any other stage I drove. We technically ended with an overall DNF for missing three stages while the car was sitting broken down on stage but it was still an awesome event. Sand eats up an incredible amount of horsepower, the Swift feels like a fast car on pavement but we couldn't grab 3rd gear on anything but the hard pack downhill sections  The race went incredibly well for the Audi, even though they lost their alternator belt on the starting line of the last stage they took home the win! With the sun setting fast, a fellow competitor caught up to them on stage, recognized what had happened, and slowed down just enough for them to follow their taillights as a guide. The M-Sport Fiesta technically posted a shorter overall time but wasn't eligible for points in the series, it's not even close to being within the rules for NASA.  Oh and I bought this school bus yellow former Georgia DOT 2005 F-250. It's the direct successor to my 1987; long bed standard cab, RWD, manual windows and mirrors, rubber floor, a totally utilitarian workhorse  Speaking of which, anyone want to buy my gray F-250? I'd discount the hell out of it for a good home, it's killing me to sell it but I needed something slightly more practical for long-range towing and I just don't have room for four vehicles. I washed it and everything   P.S. is the "huge" imgur setting cool with everyone in TYOOL 2019? I've got some photo heavy Opel stuff I've been saving up to post and I don't want to blow out anyone's Tandy 2000

5R110 five speed automatic behind a 5.4 3V modular. The 5.4 2V is the one that shot spark plugs out, the 3V is where they overcompensated with way too much thread engagement and plugs snap off into the head thanks to a two piece design. In a bizarre twist while doing an oil change I noticed that the engine and transmission have 2008 Ford build dates on them, it seems that they were replaced right at the end of the original warranty. Ford completely solved the spark plug issues in engines with late-2007 built engines, I should be in the clear with only things like cam phaser and timing chain failures to worry about. Besides the oil change all I've done so far was clean some dust out of the evap system pre filter to fix a fueling issue, gut what seems like five pounds of awful GDOT wiring, and hardwire an aux jack inside the factory radio  The only weird side effect of a 2008 engine in a 2005 chassis I've found is that the 2005 had an engine oil temperature sensor in the pan that the 2008 doesn't have a bung for. Rather than pull the intake, radiator fan, and jack up the engine to remove the pan and install one from a 2005 engine I'm installing this monstrosity as soon as the high temp thread sealant fully cures   There's not really any prettier way to adapt from M20x1.5 down to 1/8NPT other than borrowing some lathe time after hours at work. Currently sitting at eight scam texts and emails about the '87 so far, I'll have to make a compilation of them as soon as it actually sells.

Great deal, post some interior pics when you get a chance. I imagine it has to be a HUGE improvement for towing going from a straight six to a V8. You can tow cross country now if you want to, just get a steering wheel with cruise control buttons on it for plug and play cruise Any mods planned for it? A set of Airlift springs for the rear leafs would be a great addition, I just put some on my brother's Silverado and he loves them.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Any mods planned for it?  Continuing with the truck updates, due to paranoia gained from the rust on my '87 F-250 I found and cleaned out all of this plant debris from under the interior rocker panel trim on both sides, no rust whatsoever despite the 2" thick layer of buildup  After 51 days on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace and even paying Mark Zuckerberg $10 to post ads for my listing, the old truck sold   A mad rush to get the Swift ready for the latest rally (should have a post about that tomorrow) left my shop in a mess. On the bright side this was a great opportunity to organize my tools better than ever since most of them were scattered on every available surface  At this point I've lost track of how many dozens of large wire/cable pass throughs and tiny screw holes I've welded closed in the firewall, floor, and engine bay  The firewall bump for distributor clearance finally went in, I made the panel itself two years ago but it was way down on the priority list I'm pretending I have   Most recently I rehung the doors, hood, and belly pan to double check fit and make tweaks. Getting the panel gap correct on the doors is something of a nightmare due to the 9th dimensional body lines and 16 way adjustable hinges. It took three hours of adjustments and bending to get them to a point I'm happy with. To save the new paint from potential dings during final assembly I'm adding dowel pins and marks to the hinges on both the door and body so it's at least close on the first try  Today I knocked out a mirrored set of welded threaded inserts for the new door panels to match the passenger's side door. There are 72 of these things all over the car now and I love them, much more threaded length and surface to weld to than a standard weld nut  Found another 16 screw holes in the floor and and welded them closed  and hit everything with a coat of rust-stop to hold it over until I shoot epoxy primer  Next update: Southern Ohio Forest Rally

Razzled posted:late to the thread but sandblast was super fun on a moto, it didn't look as great in cars lol. i heard there were a lot of DNFs after stage 3 All of that sand and some tight corners meant that we had to constantly jam the Swift into 1st as we hit the deeper sections. Despite our best efforts the synchronizers took a beating and needed to be replaced before the next race. Cue a last minute full transmission rebuild  This hydraulic gear puller from OneOverZero was absolutely radical, way better than the cheap pullers I had before  Replaced all of the bearings, seals, and synchronizers and pressed everything back together. Got remarkably lucky and was able to reuse the original main shaft bearing preload shim so the whole rebuild was as simple as buying a $65 box of bits  Nylon cup wheels work wonders on rallydirt  A few more cracks opened up in the frame holding the left front LCA after Sandblast, we ended up welding them closed and adding sections of plate over them to stiffen the area. Completely forgot to take photos of the repair so pretend these red areas are new steel  In addition to deleting the steering lock, adding floor stiffening braces that tie into the cage, and various other ARA ruleset upgrades we also had to add a skidplate/rock guard to the fuel tank. It's not pretty but it would do to meet scrutineering  Which it did! This was our first ARA sanctioned event and we passed tech without issue, a huge relief  The first thing on the event schedule is a short super special stage in a city park in Chillicothe, OH to show off for the crowd and to kick things off for the next two days of racing. Here's the Audi showing how it's done properly  and here's the Swift showing how it's done badly. Unbeknownst to us there was a bad wire on the radiator fan loom and it had stopped while we were in line. The Swift doesn't have functioning dash lights and the sun was down so the first hint something was wrong was the coolant boiling off on the start line  Coming off the heels of overheating the hell out of the Swift at Sandblast we feared the worst but everything seemed to check out after fixing the wiring and dumping a half gallon of water into the system. After the first stage the next day we started to notice a few issues. First, we had lost 1/4 tank of fuel after only a few stage miles and could smell it, that was quickly traced back to the new fuel tank skid plate holding exhaust heat in and burping the fuel out of the tank; I cut the front right corner off the skid plate and bypassed the charcoal canister which solved it other than occasionally getting ~extra bonus fuel~ in the intake from the vent line  Second, we were losing coolant at a steady but alarming pace. Running the heater on full blast slowed the coolant loss and overheating but we still had to kill the engine at every time control to conserve what we had left between service stops. On more than one occasion we had a dead starter solenoid and had to bump start the car in reverse but that's an easy fix for later  Despite babying it most of the second day we ended up 42nd overall and 13th in class (including some timekeeping errors that were never resolved) out of a field of 73. The night stages were absolutely incredible in the hills; lots of dense fog in the valleys to deal with and some absolutely stunning roads. Even after a few of the stages had been run three times by the entire field (minus the 26 DNFs) the roads were still in perfect condition  About twice as many cars as Sandblast and ESPR; lots of flawlessly prepped Fiesta R5s, Subarus, and a bunch of wonderful oddball cars  The Audi came in an incredible 15th overall and 2nd in class, only two major mechanical issues which our two man crew knocked out in record time, otherwise rock solid. The 3rd place car gave them a tow back to service rather than taking their position, awesome folks  Hands down the best event I've been to, really great seeing the towns come out in support of the race and I cannot wait for next year  The Swift likely has a slightly blown head gasket but isn't showing any traces of oil-water mixing, should be back on the road with a quick gasket replacement as long as the head and block are still flat  Even taking it easy to practice technique over raw speed (holy moly left foot braking is magic) and down on power with the engine overheating, this thing is a hell of a lot of fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB8XVOwr3-4 Done with rally for the season, it's all Opel from here on out  For real this time, I swear.
