I fix things that I enjoy breaking, & for some reason you guys love to watch, so I film it. Each video covers hours of work in minutes. If you're a gear head, watch a few videos & see if you don't feel like subscribing!
As a former alignment tech in Virginia, I'm sure your alignment guy won't be too upset with you seeing as it all nice new clean stuff. Not old, beat up, crusty, rusty, stuff that make you question your life decisions.
He's working with me on the 2g, and I'm sure I will be covering his installation as well before it's over. He managed to tuck the motor high up in the dash out of everything's way and I want to see that one myself.
Hahahah. Nice try! But if you're serious, About 60% of the time I'm shooting mostly around 24mm which is extremely wide-angle. For stuff like part number labels, I use digital zoom for the extreme close-ups and that will not maintain pixel density. All the pixels get swole. If it's action close-ups it's because I've moved from my original point of focus and it's practically a manual focus camera. I have to manually adjust it (my fault). Still does better than the old AF camera did, though.
this has to be some of the most bleeding edge art levels of work going into this head. It is actually turning out to be one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my entire life. It's like a sculpture. The polish was there he just reveals it from without.
Powder coating is best removed by scraping. A triangular scraper is the right tool for this job. Grinding tools get gummed up and become useless pretty fast.
I like the idea of going electric. When dealing with older cars, getting hydraulic steering parts that work properly and last can be so difficult. I don't know how many times I had a rebuilt P/S pump whine or leak oil after a year. I would encounter many rebuilt racks that leaked. Hoses can be difficult to locate, so it often means taking your old hose to a hydraulic fabrication shop.
I almost did this with 40 feet of hydraulic lines for the green Galant's AWS system. It would have cost $1,700 to have them just make the lines at a local shop. I nearly bought a really nice hydraulic crimping machine, but the urge passed. You and I think a whole lot alike. If hydraulic is better than electric... then where are all the hoseless/cordless hydraulic tools? How come those never caught on? Hmmm....
Twice now I've fixed whining Honda power steering pumps by replacing o-rings at the intake hose. They draw in a stream of tiny air bubbles along with the fluid intake hose that sounds for all the world like some kind of horrible mechanical issue. You'd never guess it was just a bad seal. I wonder if other brands' power steering pumps have the same issue?
What I did is make a "manifold" that both lines go to then it has a line that runs up the firewall into a filter to let it breathe and vent. It also allows me to fill it with a little bit of oil to keep things lubricated. Works very well on the 2 cars I did it to.
Ideally you'd also modify the pinion shaft (weld it up) so that you no longer have the slop from the torque rod, since you don't need it to operate the spool valve any more.
@@Jafromobile The torque rod inside the pinion flexes, albeit a tiny amount; in order to direct the flow of hydraulic fluid in the correct direction so that the power assistance is working with the driver rather than against
Heads up on the prius eps, if you can figure out a way to get the steering angle sensor to read correctly you'll love yourself as without it you won't have any return to center without aggressive amounts of caster angle.
That's a absolute beautiful 1G he's got there. I'm still sad I had to get rid of mine in 2007. Still mis that car. But that got me to this channel, and still watching 17 years later :)
He's doing some genius stuff with it, too! I started collecting parts for this mod first, but he beat me to it. I love what he did with his AC system, and at some point I need to feature it.
Just as a note, Molybdenum paste is the best you can use in this case, it really sticks to the surfaces and is a much better friction modifier, than any regular EP grease, it is expensive but, it is worth it, Loc-tite and Rocol sell this product.
@@Jafromobile mine is 97, for what I have seen, for what I want the Colt, it is better a Hydraulic stering rack converted to Manual, once it is rolling it turns sharper with less angle stering, but is much harder to turn and standing still or very low speeds.
You know, I just did tie rods on my Toyota. The whole thing's blown apart right now for a bay shave and I've wanted to find a good way to tuck my power steering. I may need to find a new set of tie rod washers...
Dry ice for press fit parts. I haven't done it on bushing but it works fine for cold hammer forged steel into hammer forged steel with a .002 fit. Nevermind. Saw you went that route.
From my editing chair, all the things it doesn't do make me so happy now! I'm so tired of cameras that try to do everything all the time. Because you can always tell. Accelerate that video and that thing is now screaming. The more I see that becomes automated, the more I crave the mechanical and analog options. This camera is the perfect blend of both.
All vehicles should be electric steering assist. A belt driven fluid pump and associated lines, cooler- are all so antiquated. Parasitic latent horsepower.

Привет друг. Мне очень понравилось твое видео. Я смотрел его очень давно, и сейчас снова смотрю но уже с переводом на свой язык. Мне нравится что ты делаешь с машиной. Я делаю что то похожее со своей MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE G1.Хотел у тебя по просить помощи с настройками ecu, если у тебя есть время. Буду ждать твоего ответа.
