1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Thanks for the headsup

 

Well I smelled a little clutch after a pull just now, so I'm making north of 370lb of torque in the taco. Sucks that this clutch tapped out a bit early but it's okay, I'll turn the boost down for the moment, ride out this season, and then put in something spicier. I've got another 4psi on hand before I'm worried about the engine at all.

 

Tough break. I keep spinning the belt in first gear with the smaller pulley so I feel your pain. Too bad we won't have a chance to line up turbo vs blower. It would be very interesting to see how it played out.

 

Is what it is. Clutch isn't a hard job, just need to find the right one now. This thing is dangerously fast, turning it down 3psi will save the current clutch for the rest of the season and still be way faster than any other 5vz powered first gen in the pnw.

 

Doofus

 

more flattering angle

 

Mostly done; will be interesting to see how I figure out mounting this up.

Thinking I'll cut it out of 16 gauge first and mock up mounting it.

 

You'll need some slips to prove that. Next weekend the green truck will get a run at the strip during some midnight drags and the numbers should be quite the improvement based on my ass Dyno.

 

Not yet, maybe tomorrow

Now you can make sure to back over mailboxes perfectly

 

Or watch an axle housing being dragged off the driveway

 

Take it back, here's how I'll cut it tomorrow



@Daddo I'll be putting that press brake to work

 

@Kwikvette

 

Sheesh, you're welding better than I am!

How thin is that?

Looks like the travel was a little fast but at least no visible undercut.

 

Not my welds. But its like 1/8” aluminum

 

I’m in Florida rn. Forgot how many people drive first gens on 20” fuels here.

 

It's a whole axle

 

the astonishing part of that is that he drove over it with the front of the car, backed out of the driveway with it under the front subframe, then kept driving forward with it under there lol
