Re: The Colorado BS thread
Did some work on the go-cart yesterday, now I just need to extend the frame a little and add a seat. And fuel tank.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Aluminum seat ordered. Gotta narrow the front arms and attach the rear axle, chain and sprocket drive with brackets to the exhaust. The power to weight is gonna be insane! Should probably put a roll bar on too.

We putting that into my XJ tomorrow or what? I need more power to haul all my camping gear. That pony motor might do for now, atleast until I can get a Chevy motor built.

I'll race your Mustang for slips w/ the Audi........ as long as the roads are super icy and covered in snow.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Think I'll take a pass on that one.
So what's the deal with SCT stuff! Just turned my car into a four wheeled brick for a little while, thankfully another buddy that works ~2 blocks from where my car was beached was able to help kickstart it to life. I *attempted* to install an updated tune file and it garbled the pcm. Disaster averted, tow truck ride skipped. The tuner has been awesome, not sure what happened. I always wondered about emailing these tune files back and forth that calibrate very expensive engines.
As to the "WTF" factor in the above picture, my car bent a rod a little bit after a fair amount of supercharged miles and my dumb *** swapping smaller and smaller pullies on the blower. Now it's rebuilt with good parts that can take a beating, topped with a larger blower than before and the pic is right before the car was set back on the powertrain.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Went 10 years without getting a nail in any tire, then managed to snag 2 in the same tire in the same number of weeks. Plugged the first on on the trail last weekend. The one yesterday was on the outside of the outer tread block, so the tire shop refuses to work on it. Can't afford a new one right now, guess I'll try to plug it for the time being.

Plug and patch it yourself man. I've plugged sidewalls before, it'll be fine as a temp fix until you can get a new one.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Yeah, if it's just a nail puncture close to the edge of the tread, the thickness of most off road tires will plug and stay plugged just fine. Just go get that sticky-rope tire puncture repair stuff and it'll stay plugged. :thumbup:

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Looking at the angle of that nail (on my smartphone), I bet it didn't go all the through. I'd just pull it out, but I also would have the patch kit ready to go if it does leak air.
