I have the stock RX7 rims on my car (16x8, +50mm IIRC) as well as Illumina II shocks and Eibach springs...lowered about 1.5", again, IIRC. Looking to put something in the realm of 245/50R16 in the back, but there isn't much available near that size. There is a 265/45R16 for not too much...

Instead of using body filler for the entirety of it, I laid down a ton of paper mache, and with the help of the part I got it to within a quarter to an eighth of an inch for the majority of the mold, which means less body filler used and I'll be able to lay it down quicker. I'll lay down body...

Omg it has brake pads and rotors!

Couldn't think of any other sentences to use 'shockingly' in off the top of my head lol. I enjoyed the original few Herbies :D

Well you just had to have an ace up your sleeve didn't you :biglaugh: Why did it fail? Bad connection, hose catch on something? How long did you have it in your car?

Your sense of humor is shockingly bad. But I laughed pretty hard :biglaugh:

I don't see how a line rated for 2000+ psi, which is well above what the hose will see anyways, is 'more likely to blow'. Is there something I'm missing? I haven't heard of any failing to this day unless I missed something... Also, it doesn't matter if the ENTIRE braided line fails, or a...

The only thing you have to 'worry' about with the DM line is it chafing against anything else...it'll wear the hose away as well as whatever it rubs against. Other than that there are no problems. Benefits: easier to install, no banjo bolts, rated to 2000 psi (higher than the PS system sees)...

I'm assuming it works because it's been on the website for a while now haha. Out of curiosity where does the other end of that hose go? The tsrm cuts it out...

I think Driftmotion sells a braided line for that hose. They do, http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-7mpshose.php Autozones price on that hose is $62, DM sells the braided for $65...I'd just get DM's haha.

The same can be said of a stock clutch fan with a bad shroud and no undertray ;) I'm assuming a properly working, properly mounted fully functioning unit in both cases. True those numbers aren't measured data but I've yet to see anything better (unfortunately), it'd be great to have some data...

Electric fans flow the same amount over the entire rpm band. Mechanical fans flow in relation to the rpm the engine is revving to. So if a mechanical fan pulls more air all the time like you claim, the electric fan must be REALLY down there in terms of flow ;)...

Good to hear you two! I'm gonna try building up the remaining volume with paper mâché as I'll have to buy a few more gallons of filler. Saving this last gallon for touchup or a final layer. Work will continue on Friday when I get back home, should have most of it done.

The stock clutch fan flows more at higher rpms while electric fans flow more at lower rpms. The key is having a good shroud and undercover.

IF I remember correctly there's 245/50ZR16's at about $80 as well...looking to go a bit wider but keep my RX-7 rims.

:D Oops, just kidding...

Only thing it's good for is easier to take the turbo off...no more fiddling with stiff lines. When you install it, don't try and shortcut it and install it with the turbo on, it'll take you forever...take it off ;)

And now you know how fast to NOT go when you get it fixed ;) Always go slower than you think you should go on shitty roads...by the looks of the damage you were going way too fast. Props for diving into the repair job!

Ended up being more work than I wanted haha, but it should go quicker. Yup I plan on using it for the whole mold as its a bit too late to switch. Couch and crappy TV got shoved downstairs a few weeks ago, but regardless you can't use it with my stuff taking up so much space ;) Thanks! I'm...

Carbon fiber would save weight but it would be such a small amount of weight you wouldn't notice. In addition, carbon fiber fails explosively...imagine glass shards. Under the rare circumstance you get in an accident or run over a giant rock and it happens to jam up against it until it fails...
