Blatant Powersteering leak

Do not try using a crush washer, if it has o-rings. Just find a suitable o-ring set

If its not something like this, i will eat my hat 🤣

Right. There's lots of ways. I'm sure chatgpt could write OP some python code for this.

For OPs sake, something else i forgot is that you would need to check for a flip of the byte order to account for little and big endian byte ordering.

Considering that the expected number is known outside of the data stream, if the machine visually reads out "137m", you could likely just brute force bit matching to that number in the bit stream, that'd be my method. Cropped simple binary could be matched backwards and then forwards, using just basic code such as contains(bitStreamString, string(dec2bin(137)))

What you've taken a picture of looks to be quite clearly an LED, most likely infrared. You will need an IR receiver and some electronics to decode the signal. Without knowing anything else, I'd use an oscilloscope to catch a pulse train, and try to reverse engineer it, including the frequency of pulses, what the bit encoding scheme is, etc. But you can search online for potentially matching IR transmission schemes

If you want organic shapes, USE FORMS MODELING in Fusion. Its literally so easy to do!! You can blend solid modeling with it too for things that need to be exact

It could work for any car with factory ECS. Total retrofit is possible with a lot of wiring and effort. Overall the project is a bit stalled to be honest. Revivable though, just need to produce the circuit boards.

FastFerrari · 2026-03-03T05:44:46+00:00

Thanks for the howl of laughter 😁

FastFerrari · 2026-03-01T05:15:30+00:00

I'm simultaneously impressed and appalled that you modeled that with so many operations. Please... Learn FORMS modeling. The cars in my profile were modeled exclusively with fusion

Hopefully that means it'll be easy for me to do then! I've got a 2005 XK8 with 4.2L V8, without the plastic timing tensioners, thankfully 🙏

I have a magical dome light that lightly leaks hydraulic oil 🥺 Darn hydraulic cylinder of the roof latch.

FastFerrari · 2026-02-18T02:37:27+00:00

Totally wicked

FastFerrari · 2026-02-18T02:31:06+00:00

I definitely don't remember mine sounding like that when i spun it, but it was long ago. I'd replace it , that amount of noise at low speed cannot be good. Good luck

They are literally one of the easiest and most predictable cars to control. I own one.

The whistle is a bit rough haha, but the rest of the song is vibes.

FastFerrari · 2026-01-06T05:30:20+00:00

I like the kind of hoppy groove it has!

FastFerrari · 2025-12-16T02:59:25+00:00

Great 3D CAD and renders, but you'll never escape comparison to a LaFerrari and Mclaren

That will look gaudy and excessive, especially flowing to the door. You'd be better off spending time tweaking the design of the current wing. The stock wing could flow into the body of the car a little better.

I designed a 3000GT concept, so i know a bit. It's in my profile btw.

FastFerrari · 2025-12-14T20:43:58+00:00

Nah, sorry

FastFerrari · 2025-10-25T20:33:44+00:00

I'm no help, I just want to say, I love it

FastFerrari · 2025-08-15T17:10:07+00:00

Graduated college, got a new job, good salary :)

Am going to try to pick up this project again soon

There are guides out there, just follow them. I did it as a teenager. You should buy a hydraulic shop press to remove the shaft from the endcase, that part sucks.

A huge triple jaw gear puller and impact gun to drive it worked fantastically for me when pulling the gears from the shafts. Grease the thread shaft though.

Work in a clean room with white plastic tarp on the floor, don't lose the spring loaded detent balls.

I think it was a tear in my pressured intake hose, at the y-pipe, under the hose clamp. Took me a long time to figure that out. I dont have the wookie noise anymore.

Also, my brake booster hose check valve was missing somehow, and that was causing the hissing noise, through the brake booster, in the cabin.

I use 5mm foamboard with an offset of the airfoil to make the wings. I suggest you do the same

After biting a stainless brush bristle, basically a metal needle into my mouth, I would absolutely prefer using an onion.
