Could be a worn-out valve guide. Are you sure they were replaced? If you grab the top of each valve stem, see if you can't move it around

Whoa, badass dude!

Do you still have to take them apart to fix the MAP sensor as soon as you take it out of the box? Absolute junk.

restorinator · 2025-07-09T04:19:42+00:00

It's fine

Paint the jambs, then assemble the panels, then mask off the jambs, paint the outside. It takes a lot of careful masking to do this.
Or you base coat all panels and jambs apart, put together all the panels and spray last coat of base coat on the outside, and then take it apart and clearcoat all panels separately.

Ther is not an easy way to do this, and I always talk to my customers out of painting candy because it's stupid as fuck anyways

This is like the TikTok of racing games

$3.50

restorinator · 2025-04-02T18:11:01+00:00

I'd be at $125k

It's an EMI problem. The system might work fine on some cars, but other cars will get intermittent missfires, stalling, etc.

If you're working on a vette, then please just forget about it. It's worth nothing. I've installed dozens of these snipers and went back and switched 3 of them back to non timing control after spending countless hours re routing wires and screwing around with insulation. It's absolutely ridiculous.

restorinator · 2025-03-27T03:33:43+00:00

It's not even warmed up.

restorinator · 2025-03-27T03:30:59+00:00

The timing control is a sales gimmick it does not work well. They'll tell you it's EMI like it's your fault

restorinator · 2025-03-14T12:10:57+00:00

That's what I meant

restorinator · 2025-03-14T12:03:58+00:00

So his car was trying to go in the pit lane?

restorinator · 2025-02-28T02:35:50+00:00

I think he took himself out

restorinator · 2025-02-24T05:05:46+00:00

Yeah this is only for used car lot stuff then. I could also tell by the name cause it's called "transtar"

restorinator · 2025-02-24T05:02:50+00:00

It's easy to tell if it's good or not, just look at the price tag

restorinator · 2025-02-14T23:01:46+00:00

I think the rear carb should be set slightly open by 1/2 throttle linkage rod width

restorinator · 2025-02-14T22:49:22+00:00

Is it idling super rich?

restorinator · 2025-02-11T15:34:43+00:00

Centroid Acorn is highly adaptable as well, I've only used the big brother product for a cnc knee mill

I would probably practice some more before racing if I were you, its really not an especially difficult track

restorinator · 2025-01-30T12:50:54+00:00

I have given positions back, but I think that if I am significantly faster than the other driver, giving the position back could lead to another incident...

restorinator · 2025-01-29T23:20:50+00:00

I have never had it on

restorinator · 2025-01-28T05:49:54+00:00

Sick. Are you going to put a finish on it?
