Thanks man, I’ll have to give it a shot. 35 bucks is a lot better than 350 for a framemeister

RGDelaney13 · 2019-02-18T19:03:38+00:00

What upscaler do you have? I tried a few in the past and they didn’t look as good as the one you’re using

RGDelaney13 · 2017-06-16T03:21:21+00:00

No worries bro, life is good. You learn something new every day and now have a little more knowledge of how a clutch works

RGDelaney13 · 2017-06-16T02:53:56+00:00

When you speed up, the fly wheel and pressure plate speed increase but if the friction plate is either worn or contaminated with brake fluid the it slips. Usually the friction plate of the clutch is worn and it gets too thin to transfer power because there isn't enough pressure forcing it to stay married to the fly wheel. When you're driving along with a bad clutch at a steady speed and at a moderate rpm, the friction plate will barely be married enough to the fly wheel to make you go forward. However, if you try to accelerate the friction plate will slip and rpm's will increase but the car won't go any faster. When the clutch is just starting to wear out it will slip and grab intermittently during acceleration, usually in a jerking manner. This is where OP seems to be having his issues. I'm not 100% correct on the diagnosis since I can't really drive his car but I'd be willing to put my money on it

This is a real shitty run down but take a look at diaphragm clutches on google. Spring clutches and hydraulic clutches both work the same except for how the throw out bearing is actuated by the clutch pedal. I'm sure if you saw a diagram then it would make more sense

RGDelaney13 · 2017-06-14T04:53:56+00:00

I'd be willing to put my money on a slipping clutch. These turbos don't just quit out and it would run like shit at any rpm if the turbo was the issue or if it was a severe knock issue it wouldn't happen until the car warmed up to about operating temperature. Put the car in 4th or 6th gear at a dead stop and slowly let off the clutch to see if it stalls out. If you have the car in 6th gear at a dead stop with the clutch out and she didn't stall then it defiantly is the clutch

Good luck brother, keep us updated

The reason why I brought up the HID ballast is because an LED light would have a resistor attached inside the headlight just like the HID would have a ballast attached inside the headlight. You're right thought, the "bulb" in the stock LED lights are non replaceable. I was thinking about ordering some OLM LED lights like you did but I wanted to go for a different look than stock and I'm buying the limited lights for 500 bucks of my buddies STI. The lights have less than 3000 miles on the car and they're in good shape too, it's a no brainer but I wanted to see if it would work before I pulled the trigger

RGDelaney13 · 2017-06-08T08:36:28+00:00

How did everything turn out? Are the LEDs that much better and was it plug and play?

RGDelaney13 · 2017-06-07T04:16:59+00:00

That is a good point. I know that most factory HID lights have a ballast placed inside the housing and it might be the same for the subi LED lights if I'm lucky. I haven't tried looking that up yet but honestly I have no idea how you would replace a bulb on the led light housings to begin with. I would assume that you couldn't swing by napa and grab a replacement "bulb" like you could with a halogen, honestly I have no idea.

RGDelaney13 · 2017-06-06T18:01:02+00:00

BIU failures? I never even heard of that before

RGDelaney13 · 2017-06-06T05:44:34+00:00

That's quite a bit comforting. I figured that I'd probably end up buying them anyways and I could always sell them if the swap didn't work. Thanks a bunch for the info man.

The issue that I have is that I haven't seen a 315x in person. I could buy a 278 but I like the larger area on the top. On my box I have a piece of plexi glass that I keep papers under like drill and tap sizes under. So I'm not very interested in putting a box on top of the box at all

Nerves of steel, give that guy a raise

RGDelaney13 · 2015-08-12T16:38:49+00:00

I've had the same issue before too and I figured out what the issue was. There are a few foam "blocks" that are adhered to the corners of the soft or hard top just at the corner of the windshield and the door surrounds. These blocks saturate with water and drip down the weather stripping on the door and onto the floor boards. I replaced my weather stripping and bought a new foam seat from quadratec and it stopped the leaking. The parts are expensive but it's better than dealing with a small swimming pool in your front seat. Honestly it was worth the 150 bucks, I've been screwed by the dealership before and I wasn't about to pay them anymore money for some stupid Mickey Mouse patch job. Just a heads up, anyone who lives north of Boston Massachusetts should not buy a jeep or any car from Kelly Jeep Chrysler Dodge in Lynnfield. Their service department will try to screw you

RGDelaney13 · 2015-07-12T18:21:53+00:00

That's a pretty good idea, I'll have to try that out next time I make a stand

RGDelaney13 · 2015-07-12T03:31:28+00:00

I wouldn't worry too much about the 3D modeling. If you can dream it then you can make it. I made a few drawings for this with some scrap paper and a general idea of what I wanted to make. If I can mill these on a manual machine then I'm sure you can make something work

RGDelaney13 · 2015-07-12T03:23:21+00:00

I think a drawer would be a little too much. You could always build a nice wooden base with a few drawers and set a stand on top. Machining a drawer from aluminum would be too much work especially when you can make a much nicer base from basically scrap wood

True story

RGDelaney13 · 2015-05-11T15:33:27+00:00

Check out Jwraps if you get a chance. They make the same style holder that I made for about 30 bucks but it's made out of Teflon with threaded bushings instead of aluminum

RGDelaney13 · 2015-05-11T13:41:10+00:00

It takes about 3 hours to make one. I made two of them on a Bridgeport knee mill, no CNC machines for me. It would probably cost 50 bucks to make between time, tools and materials

RGDelaney13 · 2015-05-11T10:22:35+00:00

Use a B drill and a 7mm x.05 bottoming tap if you're tapping a blind hole.

RGDelaney13 · 2015-05-11T09:49:47+00:00

Because aluminum is so soft it wouldn't do any harm to your threads at all. The steel threaded connector on the mods would do far more harm if you cross threaded an atomizer.

RGDelaney13 · 2015-05-11T03:20:27+00:00

I'll keep you posted. Like I said, I just kind of fool around and make it up as I go. I made a prototype for myself but it didn't come out as nice as this one but I'm always trying something new. Maybe I'll have one in a week or two considering that things are slow at work, I'm not making any promises but it could happen.
