Dragon warned me not to rip my wastegate diaphram.I looked it over real good as I was assembling my wastegate ans yes I have a tiny tear in it!!



So now its up to Loi to get me another one. Yet another delay. I miss driving my 7 bad!!



While I am on the subject. I will post a pic tomarrow of my new "Ace Hardware" wastegate plumbing. I am runnning brass lines from the wastegate to my Profec "B" no more heat damage to the rubber or silicone hoses. I am also making a heat shield for my brake line. I noticed at my last driving school that it was getting really hot from the heat radiating from the turbo.



Wrapped about 14" of the down pipe to try to keep the engine bay a little cooler.





Hopefully it will be on the road next weekend.

 

Cool, its never ends does it?

 

But if it ended, what would you do then....

 

It never does end and when it does end if it ever does I will be happy just driving it.

 

my tr3 has a brass line for the vacuum advance, i just cleaned it up and put it back on, 45 years and it reuseable? thats ok with me

 

Then you sell the car like most of the other guys, ie: ErnieT....

 

and then you buy another one and build a crazy race car out of it in less than 6 months:ie ErnieT

 

I will never sell this car. I have way too much invested to sell it. Plus it is too much fun to drive.

 

That's what they all say, until they need the money, or see another project. LOL

 

Nope even if I take on another project this car stays. 400+ HP 2600 lbs full racing suspension. Nah its a keeper.



I am getting a CooperS and plan on modding it.



I ordered my new diaphram today. $85 + shipping and it takes over a week to get one.



I ordered 2 one to store just in case.
