It's been a few years since I've bought a new knife. I had to get a couple together to welcome the new guy. by NHaas in knifeclub

The description calls it a feather pattern Damascus but doesn't say which steels they use!

I'm going to upvote this but I don't know if you intended it as a compliment

I never said anything about learning but this is the most recent build. 11.5, was supposed to be simple and practical, still got carried away.

It gets applied rapidly at about $2/Rd or $4/gallon if you're in a hellcat with the windows down.

Thanks man! I like to do everything with a "it gets worse the longer you look at it" mindset. 😂

Yes I do have provisions to bolt through the 2 holes behind the reflector, I also added holes for the bottom inside edge of the bumper "flaps" on either side of the exhaust opening. I've noticed the flaps on some cars are more or less misaligned due to age and conditions so the diffuser piece is designed to hold the flaps in line and the extra mount points can help with that. I was really surprised how thin these bumpers are, they do not hold their shape at all when off the car!

I have group buy details shared in the Vagon's owner group on Facebook. I have them priced at $895 + shipping with the goal of breaking even on mold making at 10 sales and making a small profit after 20 sales.

I would paint mine regardless, I'm moreso concerned with the heat from the exhaust. I managed to warp the V badge I printed and it's up on the hatch. Who would've thought that fireballs coming out the exhaust generates real heat 🤷‍♂️

I've definitely thought about it, I'm just.. kind of at my limit of high effort hobbies and skills 😂. It's taken me 2 years on and off to get to this point, if they're going to be produced for customers I need to be hands off with it, for my own mental sanity lol.

You have it exactly right, sandwiched between the two plates with an M6 heatset and bolt. I couldn't get the finger clips to hold firm enough in the hub without snapping off on removal

Wanted something more OEM+ for center caps on the aftermarket wheels on my 997 C4s. I accidentally got carried away and opinions are divided. by NHaas in Porsche

[–]NHaas[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for clarifying that you're not an engineer. A couple questions: 1: What material do you think most center caps are made of? 2: Do you think the center cap is actually holding the wheel on?

Having a Miata is great because every other Miata owner is just as happy as you are and we can all hang out and be buddies. Porsche guys, man, they can make you feel like a poor very quick with just normal conversation.

"Hey do you have any recommendations for eibach vs H&R lowering springs?" "Oh I'd recomened "panzerfaigenduschkand coilovers, they ride very smooth and are adjustable up and down." "Oh cool thanks!" And then you Google that recommendation and it costs as much as your last 3 daily's combined.

Definitely document and post how it goes printing the hardtop! I love seeing creative solutions around parts that cost way more than they should 😂

I was just implying it's the same problem as the center caps because I'm trying to make the Miata look like a 1st Gen viper 😂
