I built some wraith steering stuff, drag link, tie rod... Made a set for my brother so, I made extra's for the local boys. I know Neil has his name on a set so far so, there is 5 sets still available. Pm me for more info.

I based these off of my vanquish titanium stuff..so, they are similar to that.
used revo m4 rod ends.

.250" 303 solid stainless steel
M4 male threaded ends
backside clearanced .04" for diff covers
each one is hand bent

Re: Builds
 
My D90 has been found. BigBoy recently got it from Ghost. White Landies, 1.55 tires and a light abr look to be the only difference.

Nice 1:1. I sold mine, it was getting to hard on the back and hips driving it, plus the 10MPG on the why sucked.

The Green one was my wife's and the Red one was mine.

The only problem I see there is that it is going to run Windows. Kind of like building a Ferrari and putting a Yugo motor in it.

ohhh no you didn't!
this machine is going to be like building a Ferrari and putting a Bugatti Veyron motor in it!
Mac's can't touch PC's when it come's to processing speeds...
My current work workstation is a Quad Core 2.83GHz with 24GB of ram and 256MB of video card ram. My new machine will be faster :twisted:

And with OS X, you could do the same work on the same CPU with half the memory. I have a Mac with an i5 2.7GHz, 8GB and AMD Radeon HD 6770M with 512MB video card. I run video import and compiles in 2 hours that takes my i5 PC with 8GB over 10 hours. And when I absolutely have to (Castle Link and Tekin Hotwire), I just hit a set of keys and open up a Windows 7 session.

Lol, I love these King Bill vs King Steve discussions. All a matter of choice, but we are all pretty fixed in our ways. I will say I was a Windows guy for awhile. I have an MCSE +I but got so fed up with viruses and anti virus software, patches, quick fixes, lack of backward compatibility and the Re-boot daily (now weekly I guess) that I just walked away. Oh yeah, did I mention that I am a UNIX Engineer? Lol.

Re: Builds
 
I actually don't feel any loyalty towards either. I'd gladly UNIX/LINUX if my software ran on it... or a Mac for that matter.
Autodesk develops the programs on PC's then they port them over to Macs... often leaving the program incomplete and/or buggy.

We see that a lot and visa-versa some. If SUN had followed through with their Looking Glass desktop project, that is all I would run, but like many of their ideas, Scott McNally nipped it in the bud. Now that Oracle has them, no free ware will be forth coming. Freeware does't help Larry Ellison buy a new yacht.
