Hell yeah

 

Tenderize it bby

 

You'd like the 100hp 3 phase monster that powers our large Blanchard grinder. It has its own 400a 480v service from a pole. It has no soft start so when it kicks on you can watch the lines shake up to the transformer on the pole.

 

FULL SEND OR NO SEND

 

F22A is a weird motor, limited use in the US.

Idk just made me laugh is all.

 

That's...oddly satisfying to watch

 

You like watching a man beat his meat,?????

 

MFW found an 01 04 top valance/bumper cover
chrome bumper
and 4wd bottom valance bnib for 450 today.

Praise the craigslist gods, one less thing I need to find for the 4wd.

 

Do you?

 

It's not the most cerebral thing on TV but at least it has a good climax

 

The Model S draws about 1,500 Amps from the front and rear motors at full load at roughly ~410 volts.

 

Morning, from Ohio. My God does it suck.

 

Stuff like that is cool to look at. Working on it can be downright dangerous due to arc flash. If youre stupid you'd be dead in an instant.

That monster at my job is for a new (used) machine were putting in. Gonna be fun cause the old owners cut through all the conduit with garden shears or something and left us no useable info on how to install. Probably miles of wire were gonna have to trace out.

You know I've formulated a plan for the 4wd. I'm going to have someone do the body work and the paint.

I'm going to paint the bumper and fender flares for practice and learning, and slowly build up my tools and wait for the opportune moment for a perfect compressor to come up. then THEN I will paint the 2wd myself.

Its a lot of work and a lot of effort for stuff I just physically cant do yet.

 

Over the weekend I tried to buy some OEM ball joint boots. I went to my usual supplier in VA and placed an order. I got an email stating there were no parts in the US and that the order may take over two weeks to ship. No problem, just jump over to Dubai and place an order there. Strange how parts cost less from a far away place. Not a huge amount. $27.38 vs. $33.01. Must be something about the exchange rate. While i pay more in shipping, the parts prices are very low compared to ordering the same part in the US. I ordered boots from both suppliers just for kicks. Let's see which one arrives first.





Ordering from VA.

 

I've had good luck ordering NLA parts from PartSouq

 

That sounds like a reasonable plan to me

 

That fucking sucks
