Anyone around here got an argon, oxygen, or acetylene (or all three) cylinder they want to get rid of?

 

OH my G0D!!!

Your want to buy a torch, what are you up too now?

 

I bought a TIG welder and a gas setup. I need cylinders. :P

 

So you going to crate your own monster garage?

 

I'm going to turn my Iroc into a lobster.



The tube chassis for the VW comes completely welded for 2995$, or as a kit for around 1100$. If I buy the kit and a welder, it's still cheaper than having them do it, and I get to keep the welder.


Plus I might get bored and make some V8 turbo headers.

 

Monster Hellica!

 

V8 turbo headers shouds like fun.

 

you make some turbo header and I think I might just buy them off u. make sure there extra booger welded.

 

I have never seen synapsis weld but I am sure that booger would be the expression.


BOOST BY BOOOOOGER

 

It's pretty hard to booger TIG since you add the metal to the pool. I'll do your set with some 6013 SMAW rod to get the proper boogerage.

 

I've actually taken a couple semesters of welding. I can't do MIG, and I'm sketchy on aluminum still (but I'm taking lessons now.)

 

eeeexxxxxxcellent :hail:

but seriously though, if i keep this car it wll be turboed. It must be turboed.

 

So are all the thurdgens in tucson going to be turbo now?

 

If I hand-make headers, you guys couldn't afford em. :P

 

No, just mine. your will be supercharged, Synapsis will be nitrous powered.

I can proudly say I've become a boost *****, sprinkle me.

 

I think you have been sprinkled with some faget dust.

 

When I say turbo header I mean take a real header, cut off the pipes 3 or so inches from where it bolts to the motor, and weld on a 3" pipe to the header piece, then an adaptor to bolt the turbo onto the 3" pipe, boom..Turbo header. No modifying need to be done to the drivers side header, just a run a pipe to connect it to the pass. turbo header for a single turbo app. or make 2 turbo headers for a twin setup.

 

Hey, I'm not limiting myself to just nitrous.

 

I think if you where to actualy make a turbo kit that i would want to put on one of my cars, I would end up doing a hole buch of grunt work to one of your cars in exchange(fuel pump on fbody).

 

Edit: Nevermind I thought it was something else.


I'm talking about making a header from scratch so I can put the turbo in a place to keep all the belt driven items in their normal place.

 

Fuel pump's already done, homey. How are those slicks I paid you with workin out?

 

The puep was an example, The slicks are not doing so good but the rims are in ok shape.

 

The thing is... I have a garage now. And the fuel pump is the #1 ****tiest job to do on a thirdgen anyway.

 

yeap, and thats why i got stuck doing it.

So how are those lca brackets doing. You make those new ones yet?

 

If you buy the headers and flanges, I can weld em for a small fee.

 

Now that I have a welder, those are #2 on the list of stuff to make. After building a steel welding table. I'm going to make the lift bars out of chromoly this time. They'll be the pimp shizzle.

 

make that #2and #3 I want to buy the same set of lca's as you have but I am not sure about those alcb. I don't want them to end up like yours did.

 

I'll make them for a small fee.

I'll tell you now, the chromoly tubing and heim joints that size aren't cheap.

 

small fee!? what ever happened to doing it for the sake of getting to cut some shizzle up and weldin it together.

 

TIG has 4 consumables. Gas, welding rod, tungsten, and electricity. None of which are free.

 

sergio sergio sergio, always trying to get something for nothing:nono:

 

blah, thats cool.

 

Gotta give him credit for trying.

JUST PLAY'N DOGG, DON'T HATE ON A BRATHA

 

You guys and your turbo/supercharger fantasies. Its like listening to little kids talk about getting Ferraries when they grow up.....nice thoughts, but just ain't never gonna happen . Now me on the other hand, I have a car I can actually supercharge for well under a grand........

 

*points to the twin turbo motor in the garage*

Making my own turbo headers only costs me a little bit in materials and a lot of time. After that you can get turbos off ebay for cheap. Then it's 500-600 throwing-rods-out-the-block horsepower. (Pssst, what do you think I have the spare 350 for?)

 

Oh yeah I forgot....


How long have you been talking about supercharging that thing?

Do it! Dammit.

 

Getting the right mods done to it first. I don't want it to be like that mustang I raced in front of coach's in my firebird that had a stock 5.0 motor with a blower, and I was still beating him. I still need to put an intake manifold on, and get a 77mm MAF with matching 24 pound injectors, and a MSD BTM 6 boost ignition, then it should be ready for about 10-12 pounds of Vortec V-1 thirdgen smoking power

 

Ok, so I'll drive your firebird against your Mustang after you get all this done.

 

U need to stop runnin yo mouth and buy the damn thing already.


Al some people ca do is talk and dream, some people dont get there rent paid by there sister and have thier GF pay the bills so they can spend there whole check on whatever they want .

 

Synapsis:
Make sure that any bottle you buy isn't too far out of certification. They might raise a little fuss when you go to have them filled if they are.

MIG welding is easy. A lot easier than TIG and only a little more complicated than stick.

Contract your gasses from a supplier and you'll get them cheaper.

and LMMFAO@Mike with the dust comment!!!!

 

I just don't like the wire feed. It's either too fast or too slow... you have to start the arc and get moving or else it goobers... TIG you can take your time, makes nice clean welds and stick is just cake.

I already got a price on the Argon bottle from Pima Welding Supply.. just wanted to see if someone has a bottle they didn't need anymore for cheap.

 

blah blah blah

your on that same bandwagon, every time i talk to you you are telling about some super turbo charger blower power you are going to put on your mustang some day when the rest of the world stops taking money out of you pocket.

 

The 5.0 wasn't a black LX Hatch was it? With plates that say 5.SLOW?

My buddy Cody has a supercharged 5.0 thats basically stock except for the blower...The cars now sitting my buddies backyard with the motor pulled.

 

Remind me again.....who pays your rent? Who makes/buys your dinner? ect..ect.. Rent is not the ONLY bill when you have a house, not an apartment, there is things like gas, water, electric, food, ect..

BTW, my sister is not just "paying my rent", I'm working for it. I babysit for her 3 days a week, and $500 a month is the same she paid her last babysitter. If you don't think taking care of two toddlers 3 days a week 12 hours a day is a job, then you need a head check.

 

you should look into getting a raise, Chris

 

Yep, black LX hatch with red pin striping and a blower. I raced him a couple times late at night in front of Coachs and blew him away pretty bad, 5-6 car lengths with my firebird N/A. Hope he gets it running better, he's putting supercharged mustangs to shame. When I put my blower on my stang it better whoop up on my firebird motor versus blower.

 

Especially her kids.


Since we're off topic anyway, my welder is sitting on the dock here at work. I'm going to go dry hump it now.

 

Haha, yea its nothing too special...Just a basically stock 5.0 with a blower and crappy street tires. If he got some sticky tires, that would help a ton.

 

Happy (insert holiday here) to me!
