Re: Getting a Turtle back in action

The things I did before take off: -Abrakadaver lift- would be nice to be a little taller in the back because I took chunks of tread off the tires when hitting bumps, no it wasn’t just because I had 4 people and a trunk full of gear... haha not sure if I can go taller from what I have read..any ideas...

Re: Getting a Turtle back in action

Aaannnnddd I know you all have been waiting to hear how the gambler went... well team turtle head made it all 500 miles! Had a few issues with starvation of power, adjusted the carb a few times and tightened it down a bit too. Still not the main issue. Looking under the hood we saw that the A/C was ...

Re: Smog test(ing my patience)

Woohooo thank you for this post! I went today (Oregon) and had a failure reading of 407 and 472 HC and 5.45 and 5.77 CO should be less than 220 HC and 1 CO... now off to get the timing to 5 deg BTDC and see if that works, also would be nice to see where I’m at now.

Re: Getting a Turtle back in action

Here is a sneak peek after I just got it on the ground after doing the abracadaver lift! It was a long process because I ordered some of the parts off of summit racing and only ordered one shock and one strut because I don’t know how to read and the parts took 2-3 weeks to get, so then I ordered the...

Re: New Shifter Boots, Material, & Pattern Scans

Am I the only one who can’t see the diagrams anymore ? Have the pictures expired or do I have a bad connection? I have a friend who is a seamstress and she is going to make some for me and I’ll ask her if she would make some for you guys if you like?

Re: Getting a Turtle back in action

Out with the old! Time to order new parts! Are there any aftermarket brake calipers that bolt right on or do I have to use old ones?? They look like only one side is compressing on both sides (drivers and passengers) the back side is this normal or bad?

Re: Getting a Turtle back in action

Ok good to know I’ll stay off the one on foster and go to the one in Sherwood, it’s closer anyways. Funny that we’re both working on the same thing at the same time. We might want to meet up and shoot the shit about or ideas and we might be able to help each other out? If you want my number I’ll giv...

Re: Getting a Turtle back in action

Re: Abra Cadaver lift problem

What size tires and rims are you going to run? What brand and sizes? I’m trying to put 14” American racing wheels and 27” general grabber at2. Think those would fit?
