I've been using Flickr for quite a few years and have had no trouble with picture storage and retrieval. You also get a free terabyte of storage, which is a bit excessive for my car picture needs. I can see where trying to reload photos to build threads would be more than just annoying.

I have a photobucket account. Ill try loading from them from now on. I fixed some of the pictures

Looking good - how close are the tires to the frame in the rear? The R888 is a good tire, but it'll still flex decent when under a good G....

Right at 2 inches away.

Oh - thats plenty, it looked tighter in the pic... nice.

I need some help from my peeps. Im looking for an exhaust manifold flange but all the ones that i can find are cheaply made. FD of course

It's always possible to make your own but that can be time consuming.
Elliott from turblown has some nice ones out of 5/8" steel, but good luck. It took him like three months to get one to me when he, "had them in stock." the whole time :icon_no2"
I've thought about, for a while now, having a friend draw one up in CAD and then going to a waterjetter to get them cut out. I can think of 5 I'll need in the future, I'm sure I can scrounge up one or two more. If we can get to a dozen I'll make some phone calls.

BTW, still a badass project. Seriously hoping to see it @ DGRR this year

Is there a difference between RE and REW? Mazdatrix has a stainless flange for $57

Zach, that's the RB flange that I thought I mentioned but got squirreled while typing. Elliot didn't get me my flange until I after I had built my mani. I ended up with that same SS RB flange. It's kind of not really suited for turbo apps.

Brian i couldn't find any info on the turbosource page about just the flange. I will have to call Elliot or Shawn. What grade of ss are they making them out of??

It's not on their site. They get them cut for their own manifolds so it's not something that they usually sell outright. I bought a turbo from them, and the shop did a few of their kits so I had some pull, and it still took months of begging
You're welcome to try though, I would be curious to see what happens. I'm guessing they'll be stepping up their customer service after the a recent string of debacles we're made public.
I wanted to get a bunch cut and have them on hand so I wouldn't have to go through that crap again.

If you get a CAD for waterjetting some parts, I have a hook up.......in your area Brian.

I can make a CAD but would need a good example to get measurements of off first.

In my area? For Reals? I had to go to your area to get decent pricing! :leaving:

I can bring my turbo manifold in and put it on the really expensive glass copier and fax you a life sized copy :rofl:
