Looking good man. Great job on the mani. Looks top notch.

Time to ditch that Rtek and get a real EMS

I'm thinking something that starts with an "M" and ends in "otec"

As for the welder, I love my Millers, both of them have served me very well. I generally only TIG AL as my MIG welds tend to look like, and have the penetration characteristics of TIG welds anyway. Not bragging, just saying my MIG welded steel > my TIG welded steel. After that start saving for a Plasma. You'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Yeah, I like it. The mani kind of goes all to hell with the waste gate portion though, which brings down the cool points. But at the time I was wanting out of the garage. Everyday for 3 months I was working on that car. Such a huge PITA. But I learned so much.

Soon. I have a few other things to take care of first. 1 getting hitched, then honeymoonin' it up. Then school and what not. I will probably do the Motec soon though... maybe a year or two depending on how much cash I can put away. 4k+ is a lot to spend on a magic box. But I imagine I'll do it and the tube+wire tuck at the same time. That's going to really be a PITA.

we'll see when I actually get around to it.

I thought about getting a MIG and doing with that, but after using TIG I have a real affinity for it. It's very similar to soldering and I like it a lot. Where as MIG I feel as though I get rushed when I start welding with it, not to mention having to go back over it with a grinder to get rid of the slag... though I did make the more difficult parts of the manifold with flux core... figure that one out? (it was 6am and I had been up since 7 the previous morning).

As for plasma... maybe. I'm thinking when I get a house and a garage, I'll build a workshop out back and build me a waterjet. I love being an engineer.
