From Sir Stirling Moss:

BBS wheels finally done

2011-12-18T16:59:00.000-08:00

Its been a long time but the wheels are finally done. I found some center caps, had them chromed, and put new emblems on them. The stupid wheel bolts rusted, so I purchased new SS ones and replaced and re-torqued them. All 136 of them.

Despite being a PITA Id say they look pretty sharp:

BBS RC040 Wheels

Ladybug Toy Car

2011-11-20T14:05:00.000-08:00

You are never too young to have a sweet ride. Modified a push car for my little girl on the way.

Ladybug Pedal Car

914 Gauges

2011-10-19T22:14:00.000-07:00

My Ghia. Sponsored by Craigslist.

Too Many Kicks

2011-09-19T21:13:00.000-07:00

Need to make more space.

4-Lug Fuchs

2011-09-18T15:11:00.000-07:00

At the moment I don't want to spend a ton of money getting the superlites to fit. Those funds can be better spent improving other areas of the car. For now these Fuchs from craigslist will have to do. Time to research good sticky rubber.

Stripping The Floors

2011-09-04T00:59:00.000-07:00

Pleasant surprise. Surface rust only.

914 Buckets

2011-08-20T22:25:00.000-07:00

Been working, welding, and driving the ghia a lot. Built a welding table then built the 914 seat adapters. Seats are now in. Much more comfortable and much MUCH lighter. About 30-35 lbs lighter Im guessing.

Career Move

2011-06-30T20:15:00.001-07:00

I think it is important to point out that I have since moved from Canyon Composites to Space Exploration Technologies and most recently to Metalcrafters. Ladies and gents, I am back doing automotive work and I couldn't be more excited.

Oh noes

2011-06-01T21:17:00.000-07:00

Did a wheel test fit and discovered some issues. On both the front and rear, the wheel's outer lip/face is flush with the fender lip. This will require more work than I originally thought...

Steering Wheel

2011-05-25T20:38:00.000-07:00

Sweet wooden wheel. Now I can get in the car easily and my hands won't hit my legs during tight turns. Horn works now too. Please pardon the dash.

Distributor

2011-05-22T21:34:00.000-07:00

So the guys at my local dub shop noticed my dizzy had a few problems when I brought it in to get replacement parts for it. They dug around in the back and found the exact same distributor and gave it to me for free to scavenge for parts. Such great guys.

Interior Decrapification

Electric buffers are awesome.

Test Drive With New Brakes

2011-04-23T20:09:00.000-07:00

100X better than before.

New Wheels

2011-04-04T21:42:00.000-07:00

How about some freshly restored Western Superlites? 4X130 14X5.5.

914 Seats

2011-03-27T22:18:00.000-07:00

Scored a pair of decent 914 buckets today. They do have several small tears here and there but overall are in good shape and totally usable. Great replacement for the reupholstered 70's biscuit patterned nightmares behind them in the photo.

New Ghia Brakes

2011-03-19T19:56:00.000-07:00

New front rotors, calipers, master cylinder, & stainless steel lines all around.

Project AutoX

2011-02-05T01:14:00.000-08:00

Well a lot has been happening in the past few months. Moved to a new place with a big driveway and bigger garage (that doesn't flood). Bought a 1969 Karmann Ghia for the autocross project. Looks to be a great platform to start with. Mechanical restoration, suspension upgrades, engine swap, and maybe even composite hood and trunk lid eventually (painted of course). I plan on turning it into the poor man's 356 outlaw:

Carbon Fiber Circular Loom Weaving Machine

2011-01-19T08:19:00.000-08:00

Just geeking out on Toyota's circular loom weaver used on the LFA. I wish we did cooler stuff like this at work:

Bike Projects

2010-12-30T21:50:00.001-08:00

I promise I have not been laying down on this VW motor project for no reason. I decided to work on a pair of old bikes that became a bigger task than originally intended. Here is the before and after on just one of them. Ill post up the second one as soon as its put back together.

More build photos here and here.

2.4 Liter Type IV Goodness

2010-12-27T17:43:00.000-08:00

I love this sound.

Alright, enough procrastination...

2010-12-08T21:30:00.000-08:00

...time to inspect this bus case.

Mullin Automotive Museum

2010-11-16T17:25:00.000-08:00

Visited the museum in Oxnard to see the Bugatti Type 57 and saw a jaw dropping collection of old 1930's Art Deco French cars. Never realized how over the top these machines were until I saw them up close.

Oh SEMA How Ive Missed You...

2010-11-07T01:11:00.000-07:00

SEMA never fails to make my mind explode. Never.

New BMW Wheels

2010-08-25T20:58:00.000-07:00

Craigslist has provided me with a set of BBS RC040 Style 5s that have been chromed. Chrome is not perfect and they are missing the center caps but at least a step up from the OE uglies. Time to source some caps and get them plated.

Welding Class

2010-08-24T23:11:00.000-07:00

Signed up for a welding class today. It starts Sep 13. Cannot wait.

First Autocross

2010-08-15T19:51:00.001-07:00

Ran the Mazda in my first ever autocross today at El Toro. I didn't do so hot but oh man was it fun. I think I am hooked.

Oh by the way, I guess this first race officially makes 2J Motorsports "legit"!

CATIA Class

2010-05-26T07:52:00.000-07:00

Playing with surfacing in CATIA class.

2 Type IV Motors

2010-05-23T20:27:00.000-07:00

I put out a want ad for some Type IV motors on The Samba and like clockwork, someone came through. I pulled the trigger on a complete 2.0 longblock and an extra case, heads, reground internals, and all the tin, fan shrouds, and alternators for 2 engines. And just like that I am knee deep in the aircooled hobby again.

Hopefully I can score a nice Porsche 914 in the future after I build a good running motor.

MS3 Front Rotor/Pad Install

2010-05-21T23:11:00.001-07:00

Installed new front Centric rotors and Hawk HPS pads from tirerack.com and made an interesting discovery. Had a bad case of the shakes but my old front pads were OEM FoMoCo pads with plenty of meat still on them. The problem is that my old rotors have some strange scuffing on them. Almost looks like they accidentally got hit in several spots with a grinder or something. Definitely does not look like normal wear that occurs in circular patterns. This probably explains what was causing the squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeeaaak-squeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaak every time I came to a stop.

Whatever, not sure where this occurred but at least the old brakes are gone.

MS3 Oil Filter

2010-05-03T16:31:00.000-07:00

Im no expert in filter technology but I worry when the oil filter in my 2.3L Turbo Mazdaspeed3 is half the size of the filter in my 1.5L Honda Fit. Huge advances in the filter medium or setup for an early engine failure?

Supercar Gallery

2010-05-01T00:55:00.000-07:00

I uploaded an old archive of supercar pictures I had on my PC. Everything from old & obscure to new. All of them responsible for my car obsession. Now you dont have to worry about pop ups when you go searching for that random picture of a Koenig C62 or a Yamaha 0X-99.

Enjoy:

Rolled Rear Fenders

2010-04-16T19:33:00.000-07:00

My rear fenders rubbed a small amount in front of the tires, so I decided I needed to roll the lips. I shopped around and got tired of getting the run around from people who supposedly "roll" fenders at shops and on Craigslist. I went ahead and bought the tool instead and did it myself. Car still looks the same, just now will clear the tires with no problems.

If I roll another pair of fenders, the tool will have paid for itself. ::thumbs up::

Goodbye fugly wheels

New kicks for the MS3

2010-03-29T22:57:00.001-07:00

I couldn't stand those horrible "chameleon" wheels. Now I dont have to.

2008 MazdaSpeed3

2010-03-23T11:52:00.001-07:00

Well I didnt go with any of the project car choices I discussed before. Traded in the agonizingly slow Fit for this. Still have wagon practicality, but can now go like stink and can take it autocrossing occasionally. Problem solved.

263 HP Turbo 2.3L DI 4-banger. 6-speed manual torque-steering monster. Have mercy.

PS: Ignore the wheels.

Insane 73 914-6

2010-02-21T18:29:00.000-08:00

Just thought Id share some pictures of an insane 914-6 with a 3.8L 993 motor. So epic:

Must. Learn. To. Weld.

2010-02-10T20:06:00.000-08:00

I absolutely HAVE to learn how to weld. The one essential fabrication technique I cannot do. I can do basic conventional milling and lathe work, but have never tried welding. I have a MIG and an arc welder so this summer I will take a class and take a crack at it. Then maybe more of my crazy ideas can materialize.

El Cheapo Paint Job

2009-12-21T22:24:00.000-08:00

Whatever bucket I end up picking up, if it requires a paint job just to keep it from being an eyesore, I might resort to this method:

http://www.rickwrench.com/50dollarpaint.html

Apparently you can get a pretty presentable finish from Rustoleum paint applied with a ROLLER and lots of paint prep and buffing. Here are opinions on the method listed above:

Composites Books

2009-11-28T22:26:00.000-08:00

I just bought "Composite Materials Fabrication Handbook #1" by John Wanberg and it was very reassuring to find that I know how to do about 90% of the stuff covered in the book. I am glad I bought it though because it has a very "Garage-DIY" feel and only uses relatively inexpensive tools that the average home fabricator would have easy access to. This means no prepreg, vacuum bags, or autoclaves. Hopefully when I have a bit more work space, Ill put some of this stuff into practice and build some parts for fun.

I also bought "Introduction to Composite Materials Design" by Ever J. Barbero. This looks like a textbook that might have been used if I would have taken a composites design class at UCI. I am pretty rusty with some of the math covered in the book, but hopefully I can take a crack at it and design some parts, build them, and verify their performance.

New Project Vehicle

2009-11-15T22:16:00.001-08:00

I need a new project vehicle. My old one has been gone one week and I am already pulling my hair out. Must. Turn. Wrenches.

I have no idea what I want to get at this point, but I do know one thing: I want to go racing.

Road racing, drag racing, or autocross? Well I should probably start with whatever is cheapest/safest/easiest and go from there. Maybe I should get a cheap old muscle car that I can dodge cones with or run down the 1320 occasionally. Something with relatively inexpensive parts and lots of aftermarket support. Something I can prototype parts with and develop my engineering and fab skills on.

In the next few posts I will entertain several possibilities and eventually make a decision.

Goodbye Velma

2009-11-15T22:05:00.000-08:00

Sold my bus last Sunday. Sad to see it go after putting so much hard work into it. After a lot of thinking it seemed like it was time for a new project vehicle and I would rather the bus go to a good home than sit around and collect dust. The new owners seemed very nice and I am sure she is in good hands. Goodbye Velma.

Automotive Composites

2009-10-14T11:55:00.000-07:00

Composite materials: lightweight, strong, and exotic.

You think about composite materials on cars and you think of racecars, supercars, and very high end roadcars. Composites such as carbon fiber, kevlar, etc are used on high performance cars obviously because they are lightweight and still strong, and in racing, the less weight you have to throw around, the better. The problem with these materials is that they are currently extremely expensive to produce. The raw materials as well as the fabrication of the parts is beyond the reach of most auto manufacturers for anything less than their upper echelon of vehicles.

You don't think about the SUV, the pickup truck, or the daily commuter as vehicles that could benefit from composites. Imagine however, if the SUVs and big trucks we currently love to pick on for being gas guzzlers were all of a sudden 1000 lbs lighter and just as safe in a collision? What if that pickup truck could still haul 1500 lbs of gravel to the jobsite? What if the bed never rusted? What if you could still beat it to hell? What if all of a sudden the mileage of said SUVs and trucks jumped from 15 MPG to 30 MPG without having to haul a stack of batteries and electric motors around? What if the same ideas were applied in your daily commuter and all of a sudden the mileage of that car jumped from 35 to 70 mpg?

What if composites were cheap enough to produce and fabricate that it would be reasonable for auto manufacturers to offer them in their vehicles? What if they were recyclable?

I may be dreaming a bit much there, but seriously, what if? Historically everything that was once considered racing technology has trickled down to common production vehicles. How many new cars do you know that aren't currently offered with disk brakes, ABS, or traction control? Not very many. If you look at a lot of cars nowadays, their intake manifolds are no longer aluminum, but rather a heat resistant plastic that is lighter, cheaper, and still reasonably strong. Heck even some pickup trucks have plastic beds nowadays.

The thought just occurred to me, and I know there are no easy answers yet, but how come all cars cant benefit from composites?

Red Bull Soapbox Race 2009

Someone on TheSamba clued me in on a 70 panel sitting in a junkyard in San Diego. Scored an intact sliding door in the SAME color as my bus, paint code 0606 (L90D Pastel White). It only cost me $26 bucks too. Is that luck or what?

Busses by the Bell III

2009-04-15T22:54:00.000-07:00

Another San Pedro transporter meet. I was finally able to drive my bus to the festivities this time. Once again a lot of nice rides:

Finally...

2009-04-05T23:16:00.000-07:00

The bus is home in Long Beach. Now I can work on it DAILY.

34PICT3 Rivet Fix

2009-03-30T22:05:00.001-07:00

More valuable knowledge from TheSamba: My carb was designed to work originally with a dual vacuum dual advance (DVDA) distributor and has a larger hole in the throttle butterfly than later 34PICT3s with a single vacuum dual advance (SVDA) dizzy. So when I paired my $10 dollar craigslist SVDA with my old DVDA carb, the larger hole was essentially a vacuum leak and was not letting me tune my idle or timing properly. Turns out if you squeeze a rivet into the hole and knock out the center of it, you make the hole small enough to control the vacuum leak and allow you to use an SVDA with no troubles. Sure enough I tried it and it worked like a charm...

Beemer gets new rear brakes

2009-03-25T21:18:00.001-07:00

Done.

Another small step

2009-03-17T20:41:00.000-07:00

My dad made a 1/4" aluminum carb spacer so that the accelerator pump arm clears the generator body. Looks like it did the trick.

My idle cutoff valve finally decided to quit on me. I had checked it just recently and it seemed to be ok. This took forever to diagnose and kind of pissed me off after I discovered how little it took to get the engine to finally idle successfully. Replaced it and the engine fired right up.

My engine settings are almost dialed in, so hopefully it wont take much more to hit the road this summer.

New job

2009-03-17T20:37:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow I start at my old company, Canyon Composites. Im pretty excited since I will finally get my hands dirty with CATIA. Its good to be back.

34PICT3 Carb Rebuild is done

Replaced the front rotors and pads on the missus' ride. I cant believe how bad they were. The rears will be done next month as the budget allows...

Carb troubles

2009-01-04T12:10:00.000-08:00

The last piece to getting the bus on the road is to get the carb dialed in. It does not seem to want to idle no matter what. This is the original 34PICT3 carb.

A bit of background info first: the tank had about 3 gallons of 3 year old gas in it, and rather than drain it I decided to drive it to the gas station and fill it with about another 10 gallons of fresh 91 octane to dilute the old stuff. Maybe that was a bad idea.

Anyway it is very inconsistent in its behavior. Sometimes it will fire up right away and idle beautifully while it warms up. After the choke opens up however it sputters and dies. Then does not want to start back up. Then after cranking for a while it will sputter a bit and die, and then the next time it might fire right up effortlessly and sound great.

After getting it to start again and giving it a little throttle to keep it running, I try to adjust the idle air and fuel screws to get it to stay running but no dice. They seem rather unresponsive.

I add a bit of Marvel Mystery Oil to the gas to see if it performs any miracles for me, but of course changed nothing.

Crawled under the bus to check the fuel filter and it looks clean as ever. Fuel pump is brand new. Runs as long as you gas it but wont idle.

I eventually grew tired of this and decided that a carb rebuild was in order to eliminate about 100 sources of error. There are also some sort of smog related devices attached to the carb which I will find out if I can do without. This will be my first rebuild so wish me luck.

Bays By The Bell

2008-12-14T20:15:00.000-08:00

Met up with some local LA/Long Beach area baywindow drivers in San Pedro to hang out and check out some busses. More pictures here.

The bus moves under its own power

2008-12-06T03:25:00.000-08:00

Here she is moving under her own power. Obviously still needs a full tune up but at least is running with a vacuum advance distributor eliminating the 009 flat spot off idle:

Finally, some beauty shots while parked outside the house:

Bus running...again

2008-11-28T23:33:00.001-08:00

After changing out the plugs and replacing the points, condenser, cap, & rotor on the 009, the bus fires right up again with ease:

Unfortunately, after it warmed up, whenever I tried to rev it the 009 flat spot would appear:

Still, this is a huge improvement over the last time I ran it in May. No more popping and farting like before:

The old plugs were SUPER grimy. All sorts of black carbon deposits on them. The #3 plug had a bit of black fluff on it. No wonder it ran like crap.

Now that it fired up with the 009 I can get back to trying the vacuum advance dizzies I bought to see if I can get rid of that flat spot. Till next week.

I cant believe it

2008-11-06T17:39:00.000-08:00

Honeymoon

My wife and I on our honeymoon in Antigua:

Its true...

2008-07-29T10:16:00.000-07:00

...the unthinkable has happened. I have traded in my FJ for a Honda Fit. Life happens. Mortgage. Wedding. Gas prices went up. 16 MPG is no joke.

I like the Fit, but it will take some time to LOVE IT like I loved the FJ.
The good thing is that I can still modify it to hell and have fun with it. It is rather fun to drive with its 2500 lb curb weight and its 109 angry horsepower. Oh yeah, 34 MPG is kinda nice too.

Goodbye FJ and I hope you dont end up cruising concrete jungles for the rest of your days.

New Dizzies for the Bus

2008-07-04T15:16:00.001-07:00

Found some old vacuum advance distributors for the bus. Hopefully one of these can replace my crappy 009 I currently have & get rid of that annoying flat spot.

According to this link the one on the left is off a 1969 Beetle and the two on the right are identical and off of 1974 Beetles. They could all use rebuilds but I cleaned them up as best I could so I could drive the bus from Elsinore to Long Beach.

Tomorrow I attempt to wrap up work on the bus and hopefully bring her home. After getting the distributor straightened out, Ill need to debug the generator or regulator and take her for a spin.

Wish me luck...

Almost there...

2008-06-23T08:01:00.000-07:00

Worked a tiny bit more on the bus.

Discovered a vacuum leak, which once plugged up, seemed to cure the backfiring problem I was having at idle. The 009 flat spot is ridiculously annoying, so I am getting an SVDA soon. Also my generator light stays lit, so I need to review my generator and voltage regulator. Most likely I will buy a new regulator anyway, at least to have an extra on hand.

Reassembled the rear sheetmetal. Just need to mount rear bumper, give the valves an adjust, time the dizzy, and we should be good to go...

SHE'S ALIVE!!!

After getting the coil wiring straightened out, & new points & condenser, she fired up fairly easily. Still needs to be timed correctly & valves adjusted before we can take her for a spin though. Thank you TheSamba.com.
I guess maybe there is some hope for me & working on cars...

Good times...

Doh!

Consulted the wise men on TheSamba and discovered I wired the dizzy to the wrong side of the coil (the hot + side). When I opened the ignition, the points were closed at that particular moment, and the + side of the coil allowed the battery to short directly to the distributor instead of going through the coil, frying the points & the condenser. Time for a correct vacuum advance dizzy & ill get new points & condenser for the 009 and keep it as a backup.

Some lessons are best learned the hard way I guess...

Fried my dizzy

Bought the bus a new battery & did some electrical troubleshooting & ended up with fried points & condenser on my 009 dizzy. I just need to figure out why the parts fried...

Thinking ahead to the bodywork Id like to do to it, I photochopped a picture of a nice passenger bus into the "half-panel" and full panel configurations I am going for. I am torn between the two since I can do either or with the same amount of effort really.

You like? I do. Here is a picture of the real deal in the Porsche bolt pattern, and here are some replicas in the bus bolt pattern.

Nice early bays...

Just to give you guys an idea of the look I am going for...

33s are on...

Before & after. As you can see, no rubbage with the front wheels turned at full lock. A job well done. Now its time to hit the dirt.

Lookie what I found...

...285/70R17 Nitto Dune Grappers. Oh yeah, 33's baby.

Oh no, what the..!?

Well it took some courage but I finally took the plunge. Sawzalled & ground back my front body mounts so I can clear 33's with no rubbing. She barely has 5K miles on her.
