Philly actually had more MKIIIs than Chi. I was surprised by that.
We do have cheesesteaks. I'm sure that's it.

I think it was suppose to be compensation for a small penis, but I could be wrong. I can't say much, I don't have a turbo anymore. But hopefully I can start working on my car soon, now that the bike is done.
Tig is fixed, home, and ready.
I need to figure out a way to make nice accurate cuts for all the big tubing.

The way you described it in Chicago sounded awesome. I wish I had a welder and the ability to make my intercooler piping without all of the couplings, but I dont. I also have a small turbo and don't really need the welded pipes. Maybe if I ever rebuild this monster 2.5 liter, I'll go with bigger pipes and make them real pretty...................NOT! Good luck with yours though. At least it'll give you something to take a picture of..........:biglaugh:
Dave, if your going to cut and fit aluminum tubing, you need a Band Saw and a Belt Sander. I was surprised that you didn't destroy your coil pack mounts with the Sawsall. There is no substitute for the band saw, I cut all of my plumbing about 1/4"~3/8" long and then sanded it back. After a few cuts you get better at estimating and are able to choke up on your cuts. I have a nice older Makita 3 speed vertical band saw and an awesome 1HP Belt sander. This belt sander will take 3/8" off of a 1" x 1/4" steel bar (with 80 grit belt) in less than 5 seconds. If you have to take 3/4" inch off of a pine 2x4 this belt sander is faster than the band saw. http://www.grizzly.com/products/G1183
If you work steel get 80 grit belts, they turn into 120's after enough use.
If you work aluminum only make sure to get a belt that wont load up. Aluminum aggressive, use 80 grit, aluminum decorative (nice finish) start with 120 it will wear to a 150-180 and will give a decent brushed finish on edges.
The only reason I share this with you guys, is its my favorite shop tool, once you have this belt sander, you will wonder how you lived with out it. You can also wire it 220 to decrease the load at startup. I really love this thing if you couldn't tell.

Thanks Andy. I have a band saw. I don't trust it's cuts very much. I am with you on the sander, always wanted to own one. I don't have one here, yet, because they are pretty pricey for the much larger, decent quality one I want.
man thats an expensive sander. quite a bit nicer than mine though. I would love to have a band saw but they are expensive tooo

I'm gonna finish before him again. That's all I got to say to you Dave. :icon_razz

vic- If your car is running, it's only the beginning, not the end. Stop by when you get it running.
Noah- Good to meet you man. Enjoy the glass.
Allen- My horiz. band say was $150 at an auction. I'm gonna tune that up. I actually do have a small belt/disc sander from harbor freight. Cheap tools aren't worth buying.
Jay & Duane- Tools are actually easier to buy than car parts. Tools are business related, so pre tax dollars. I wish I could buy every tool I want, but I can't.
