Link is dead Rob.

So it is. Oh well, just do a search for TTD180MIG on the Trade tools site, they now list it at $428. I uses all the Unimig tips and nozzles which Trade tools stock. Just got to buy some 200 amp car jumper leads to make up a longer earth lead. Time will tell how long it lasts though.

take a picture of the wire feeder gear assembly for me! please

that will give me an idea weather i want it!

the full copper core on the unimig 172mig would be much better, but my dad said steer away from any equipment that has an animal name! it normally means it is chinese. (they love the animal names)

if it is made in Hungry it is normally very good!

still havent made my decision yet! will have pix soon of the spigot mod on the input shaft of the box and the bearing machined in the flywheel.

the old Mitsu flywheels are casted fairly rough not to much is actually centre in them except the flywheel bolts. you can forget you dial guage!
You really need to machine an adaptor for the flywheel to fit onto (like the crank face) to mount it.

But is it going to be ready for July 12 Troy??????

 

[JETGSR]

it should b in the car by then, I hope.

At this stage I can't promise , I chasing up the last bearing for the box rear on the input shaft, it is a heavy raced bearing, just hope i dont have to genuine. Motor is together justhave to it head on and dial up the cams.

[brisvr4]

Ahh stop your whining Marek :smt098
My stuff will arrive here from the States on Thursday and I'll get it dropped off to the head place on Friday morning and collect it all done Friday afternoon.
Car WILL be running again by Saturday night or Sunday at the latest 8)

But we can postpone it if you guys want to.... How about July 26? It is only 2 weeks after we were due to go.

 

[GVR40]

my car is running...once i put the new battery into it

 

[jdm-vr4]

i'm easy with both dates. i'm just worried about all you guys

 

[GVR40]

FYI - parts from the states arrived today, some will go in this weekend, some next weekend.

i'm good to go for the 12th BTW my car sounds really nice at 8k rpm and i'm currently making full boost (10psi) by 2k rpm

 

[MDK87]

Hey man thats great.
Pity you've just exhausted all of your holidays. :?
So can I come round and grab my leads on the weekend? :lol:

 

[GVR40]

[JETGSR]

Yes well I guess I suck! cos I just keep spending money!

I now have a new intake manifold, (it does need some mods) so that will slow me down as well.

the other problem is I have exhausted my power requirments to my shed! so I have to upgrade the wiring from the house!

if you know something about electrics try 16mm sq. power cable and a shit load if it. That what you get when your bloody shed is miles away from the house. $35 mtrs of it at $12 p/meter plus the condute and the new breakers for the shed.

So in order to finish the car I need to finish the shed! and in order to get the money to buy the stuff to finish the shed I need to be at work!

It is an evil circle we live in!

SO YES (life SUCKS) I Suck, but you never know It may get finished in time! maybe...

Troy <-- the sucker

 

[brisvr4]

It think you should put tables right on the road to help make more money to finish the shed and then the car!
