One of these? Supposed to be good for another 40-50HP (I'm sure that's at the crankshaft) and it will still look 100% stock.

And it only costs about 1 arm, you can keep the leg.

Jeebz, that's $50 shy of the price of a Z54 from ZZP.

And the z54 is $50 short of the z57….
lol where does one draw the line?

I don’t need more power yet. I need traction for the power I make right now.

So I decided I wanted to finish up a few things, I was getting annoyed at not having a park brake and having the seats out to work on the tunnel snowballed into ...

I got my cup holder mounted and wired, one regular 12v power port and one USB outlet with the wires running to the shifter cable area for additional power use in the future. I plan on adding a 12v regulator and wire with the proper connector for a Milwaukee heated jacket to plug in, I'm also planning to add a 12v power point to behind the seats.
Mounted up the park brake cables and tubes, cut a horse stall floor mat I grabbed from Home Depot on sale for $19 to use as a floor, mounted a 2lb fire extinguisher.

I couldn't seem to route my cables the way everyone else does along the subframe, Mine want to curl up at the end of the guide tubes so I ran them along the frame tube above, any reason this may be a problem?

Curing up by the tube? I had issues with getting mine to fit correctly so I straightened it out a little to get the end of the tube where I wanted it. I just sent another member some pictures and an explanation here;

V1 - Captain Dave's City Goblin #336 - 07 SS/SC Donor

Ok next question about the rear suspension installation, anyone know what bolts are used? I don’t think I have enough donor hardware to mount everything so I need to go to the hardware store. Also what thread are these holes? I need to clean them but I’m unsure of which tap to use.

I don’t see an issue with having them on top of the rail as long as they don’t come into contact with any moving parts.

Yep. I ran mine up, but as long as they are not near moving or rotational parts, you will be fine.

Loading up for goblin fest and am missing a wheel centering ring..
spent an hour looking as I rearrange everything,
What are your thoughts on a pla printed spacer to align?

 

[Markm]

Wheels are lug centric so a ring is really not too important

I unintentionally ran without one on my 4x100 setup a few weeks ago (left them in drag tires). I didn't even notice. Tbf I always tighten them slowly - finger tight all 4, loose wrench tight all 4, then set on ground and tighten all 4 with torque wrench.

As far as PLA goes, go for it. They don't bear load, they just are used for initial centering.

On my way to goblin fest
Somehow lost a centering ring out of one of the wheels while packing up
What’s everyone’s opinion on whether or not a 3-D printed centering ring would work
I threw my printer in the back of the truck on the way out

Wheels are lug centric so a ring is really not too important

I agree and was taught this years ago, however, was told otherwise more recently
I’ll just run it and see what happens

I agree with this as soon as it’s tightened down it’s going nowhere even if the plastic melts out of the center from heartbreaking or leaving the hand break on lol
I’m gonna try without if I get a vibration I’ll draw one infusion and print it in the hotel room
