1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I've run some HTP welders they're a legit company and the quality is good. I haven't used that machine specifically though but their rep was always super helpful.

 

That's good to hear, I mean I guess I should naturally "expect" that being made in the US.

Never even heard of them but damn, keeping the work here is legit. Maybe that's why they kept many of their other components on the 'lower end' to keep from costing as much as red or blue variants?

 

I know another American made manufacturer that has done it so it doesn't cost as much as the swedish orange variant...

 

So what's the verdict @eon_blue , was the hurricane banging or was it over hyped?

50k feet here we go

 

Interesting; hearing thunder and look out to see a bunch of lightning

 

It's evolving, just backwards

 

Aaaaand rain

 

It's just that I looked at the weather hours ago and it showed no rain nothing

We got rain for an hour the night before and it dried up right away; remained overcast for days

Now suddenly it's hitting hard but I expect it to stop shortly after

 

We need moooooore rain

 

Our weather apps have been complete dog shit wrong this summer fwiw

 

Same

Just started pouring like crazy again

 

Go back far enough and opamps and gates weren’t part of a kit. They had people building blinking lights using basic oscillators, AM radios, etc.


I can see where you’re coming from on wanting something that is otherwise unobtainable. I think people get there if they can find an entry point to get started.

 

Friends in L.A. said, "meh," but friend in Palm Springs isn't havin a great time.

 

What year/model?

 

@Kwikvette you better get the Lextreme rods for your 2UZ if you wanna start putting down the power and doing four-wheel burnouts on the beach..

 

Only a fool would part themselves from their money like that

You should buy them for me since you're overly concerned about my pavement princess

 

@Ozark_RegCab any specific parts I should start making to replace on your frame?

Figure since rust is inevitable there, we can get the jump on things

 

Might as well just build me a tube chassis

 

Find some early 1UZ rods and make some power haha


Hey wait a minute... you're about to rebuild a 5VZ for right?

You should try a set of these and report back...
