NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I did that to the intake of the turbos of an RS6 - dropped MAF connector clips down the rabbit holes. buddy of mine connected a vacuum with a narrow attachment and taped to the hose and stuck it down there got all the clip crap out and then we reassembled it to make sure we got all of it.

 

Can you reach them with an extendable magnet?

 

It would have to be on a flexible handle and about minimum 1' long to reach all the way in there. I need to go through the intake runner below the plenum or remove the intake that I just sealed and put new gaskets on, then I'm looking right at the bolts. I tried my grabber claw wand thingy but it doesn't twist and flex enough to be able to grab them. I'm thinking magnet on a string or the intake has to come off if that's unsuccessful. I tried a magnet attachment on the endoscope I borrowed from @Usethe2nd but it couldn't get a hold of a bolt.

 

So something like this?

 

Shit.... It's like you're reading my mind....



Another tool paid for compliments of my work. Went to the local napa for some fuel filters and picked it up on their account.

 

Sweet! Good luck!

 

You could also seal a small tube to a shop vac hose with pantyhose or a rag on the end and suck it up that way. Shit or just suck it into the shop vac and collect it with a magnet

 

I planned on pulling the plugs and making some sort of attachment for my shopvac to clean out the cylinders. Just to make sure there isn't anything in there before I fire it up.

 

Since nobody wanted this dang this it’s going on the truck. Trail gear rear fully coated in line x up for grabs. 400$

 

Edit

 

Welp.. it’s on now

 

Looks rad!

 

Anyone ever tell you your ass is kinda funny looking?










































Said no smart man to a girl. Ever.

 

I think it looks good man, could you take a uhmw board and put it on some small C channel runners to give you a tailgate. I did that with a hummer 2 separation pannel.

 

Just got my co2 set up operational. A few modifications to be done still, but it's currently operational. I just aired up all 4 tires from 1.5psi to 42psi in 2:57. 285/70r17s.

 

That is faster than I thought possible

 

Just a standard c02 tank?

 

Yup.

 

CO2 is slick as hell for airing up but just be aware that you will have to keep an eye on pressures and add regular air as it drops because co2 is actually soluble in rubber. It will soak right into the tires for lack of a better description. I have been using it for a few years now and haven't noticed any issues as a result, just need to a keep a closer eye on pressures. It won't drop off rapidly but over the course of a week or 2 you might drop 5-8lbs.

 

This is the reason I ditched a 20lb tank and bought a compressor.
