    HPR is what/who? Also, FMD that adds up quick!

    Not a heap of time last night and one of those sessions where you spend an hour but the outcome seems like a few mins work. Finished straightening up the castor brackets, ensured castor arms still go in and smoothed off and cleaned up the mounting surface ready for brackets to be welded in. Spent the rest of the time roughing up/cleaning up paint/grime/rust but couldn't find the metho to prep so didn't get to throw some paint on the inside before the bracket gets welded in and I have no access.

    Legend, good work. This forum needs an app again, doing this shit on a mobile browser does not tickle my balls at all. @prank why no more app? $$??

    I'm missing some things then as I thought it was an under 10k job. Still MUCH cheaper and better outcome than a manual sequential IMO. The TCU is what, 2500 or so? When I looked at transmission they seemed to run about 4k (really depends on age/condition and what it came from, this is for ZF8HP70, 75 and above are much more expensive but I'm only 4cyl). Where's the rest go? Bellhousing adapter? 1-2k? Tailshaft 1k? Wiring ??? I doubt she's reading this, thankfully neither does mine. This is a safe space here

    OMG I am so dumb, I do have a drill press... but that means removing the hub... probs worth it. OK need to focus on meeting lol

    Might go have a look, i do have cutting fluid here. It's more about getting it square. I don't have the best laser eye leveler.

    Front brake job moved up the list, pray for me when the time comes... This was much harder to get than I anticipated.

    All good, people use the terms interchangeably. If you're willing to share, I'd be keen to understand the total cost of the swap when you know.

    Sounds better than RC, but I haven't used RC in YEARS

    Last time I used this setup my Hero 4 was new tech...

    Tell'em the cost son...

    Race Chrono (paid) gets my vote, controls the GoPro as a rempote and does overlays on the video for you.

    Yes very nice, do like.

    Spend money?!

    Managed to finish welding the cross brace and plates (and spent some time cleaning up some of the uglier welds...) then started prepping for the gusseted reinforcements but boy has that castor arm bracket been smashed into some ripple strips lol it's taking a bit of work to get it to a point where the plate will fit on it neatly enough. You can see it's got a bit of a crease through it, and this was after I'd been working on it. In good news, I know the brace/plates are good because the amount of force I've been putting on the whole assembly as I try and straighten it is decent. I'll try heating it a little next time, it's just an awkward spot to get to with the rolled lip edge, which I need to preserve as it's the mounting surface. Progress is progress.

    Tis a good spec, where do I order mine???

    On how many platforms you want me to tell you this is sick? Because I'll do it...
  21. No Crust Racing
    I had a look on google maps, looks fun.

    Huge update VERY exciting, which TCU did you go with in the end?
  23. No Crust Racing
    Much obliged, but you haven't seen the welds on the plate to cross brace lol But yes, experience and patience, both of which I still lack a lot of It's a good kit I think, will come out being better than a Nismo option IF my welds are good enough on that cross brace.

    So no hoist stand yet (wasn't paying $207 a piece locally..) but cable ties did the job nicely. Got the brace tacked in, poorly as the welder was having conniptions for some reason, then dropped the castor arms and sway bar so I could remove the whole assembly as one and start welding it up in the bench. Got a few nice beads on the plate to bracket connection but everytime I went at the cross brace rod to plate connection there was an issue so what I have there is a bunch of ugly half started welds that I'll need to clean up and maybe redo. Can't tell if it was the angle of the gun, filler touching tip/shroud etc, or kink in the wire/hose but it came good after I'd messed those up and allowed me to get those nicer beads on the plate you see there. Just a lack of skill will be the most likely cause but I'm used to having to clean up my shitty work after. Castor plates have taken a beating over the years too so there'll be some work to straighten those before the gusseted plates can go in underneath. I continue my tradition of giving the forum extra pics/more detail because forums are the best.

    Well if we were not so shit at investing then maybe we could have both...
