awum work !
I agree on the 2000 needing a turbo its a great car needing a little more (a lot more) push..
noob question
i noticed you havent welded the tubes to the flange on the inside. Will you be doing that or
is there a reason not to ?

 

I've done that already. Will get a pic of it when I get a chance.

 

Good purge, clean materials. really good heat*travel speed = some very bright, clean welds.

 

is it illegal to hump a header in US??

 

Don't know how I missed this.
I wish you were my friend.
---- looks ****

 

Thanks for your compliments. It really means a lot to me. If I could weld half as good as you I'd be happy. Still not as consistent as I would like but I've never been taught how to weld. been Tig welding for 10 months now and think I'm still getting better.

 

i just wanted to know what kind of rig you are using welder wise? and your weld rod

 

The welder is a british made Inverter Fusion 200hf. Goes up to 200 amps. I used 308L 1.2mm rod.

 

Thanks. Na just keep welding and try to always improve and you always get better. I still have lots of things I work on when I get the chance to do it.
Tell you the key to it. Understand you're human and you can totally ---- up in the least way. Like. I'll be going on making as absolutely perfect of a weld I can make & something stupid will happen. Hand twitch or whatever. Mother ****** but what can you do about it, eh.
Consistency just comes with doing it. If you keep welding you get there!
Anyways, anything you lack in consistency you seem to make up for the correct welding decisions and clear welds. By decisions I mean I like your weld sizes. (I think (tho not a real problem) many guys tend to undersize their welds slightly.) I like they even tho it's not 100% you're correctly deciding to weave your cover passes instead of trying to make one GIGANTIC cover pass, or wash a big pass down & thin it out.

---- weave passes kicked my *** for a LONG time! I mean yeah I could always do the little ones, but I worked on that ---- on and off for MONTHS before I got the big ones down.
