Yeah, I'm on TDiclub since getting the car. I suspect it just needs valves as it died at low rpm, but I haven't pulled the head to check since I found a replacement motor. I'll sell it as a core, I'll probably sell the car as well once it's running again.

pics? I have a 36k DIY

Finished a 4500 mile roadtrip in our new to up Tesla. Now I gotta get back to work, been neglecting things too long. My little Golf Car had a mishap.... I've had it about 30k miles, to be honest I didn't even know it had a timing belt. In my mind it was gears an a non-maintenance issue...

Been thru a bunch of carry knifes, been carrying a skeletool for about 10 years. still my favorite.

My cousin is in Olathe and I was there a couple weeks ago. Probably borderline for swamp cooler.

I run a swamp cooler in my 2400sq ft uninsulated shop. If your in a dry climate they work great. If your in a humid climate they wouldn't work.

They make a tire lift that has rollers on it and a pneumatic ram for lifting. I was thinking of trying to build one myself, but for now the table works well enough. If I only have one tire off, the lugs are usually still aligned.

I know EVO sells a magnet for the purpose, Curious how well it works. Maybe a magnet in a bag and some cardboard.

Without accessing the BMS or monitoring total current flow, I'm not sure there is a better way to measure SOC than direct resting voltage measurement. This is the rough estimation I use. Before I had the Battery Monitor I just had this chart printed off and stuck to the wall by a volt meter. It...

The problem is it's much smaller voltage gradient from fully charged to flat. I use a general rule of thumb 13.6+ is full, 12.8 is flat. The meter you are using is likely calibrated to lead acid, so 12.8 is still fully charged (100%). For a better idea I use a shunt that measures power out and...

I use a version of that philosophy... My Most used tools are in my Job box. 40" wide x 24" deep and whatever standard height is with an open workbench top. My most used tools are sockets, so the top drawer is my socket drawer. It's not my only socket drawer, and it doesn't have every socket...

My cousin was a cabinet maker and had this round router table with at least 4 routers mounted in it, all with their own fences. He could have different ones set at different heights with different bits and very quickly knock out pieces with multiple cuts. It was on casters so he could turn the...

I have one as well. I can't remember ever seeing one that was not Snap On.

Love my VIM magrails. Too bad they got so expensive. I have enough extra socket sets to justify buying another set, but my bank account doesn't.

My 3/8 TQ wrench is so old they aren't made anymore (craftsman) so I don't have any advice. I just replied because we both have puppers in our profile pic.

I have 7 or 8. They are especially handy for softer materials, plastic, aluminum etc...

Ni! Now cut down the largest tree in the forest with a herring and bring me a shrubbery! Something nice...

Only open one drawer at a time. Lock the drawers when moving them. I also dislike top boxes. All my boxes have latches so the drawers don't open themselves. I've been a mechanic for 40 years. The only time I've seen a box tip was when someone moved them without locking the drawers or due to...

I use them for piston rings. Occasionally I find another use for them.
