A buddy had one made up of iron pipe. It was basically an A-frame at either side, with a cross piece, and a couple braces connecting the two. (Think swing set.) The A frames threaded into the top pie

Clearly, you need a better steel supplier. There are such things as DOM and HRS (hot rolled seamless) square tubes. Neither is allowed to have evidence of an inside seam. They cost more than stuff th

You need a pair of rods to fit the holes on the spring end, a pair of vice grips to keep the shaft from moving, and a suitable wrench to fit the set screws. The rods I use are actually a couple inch

More air per horse power, less heat in the end air. Disadvantages are mostly money and more things to wear out or break. All serious air compressors are two stage (or more), until you get into rotar

State Farm charges less than $5/six months for my Land-Rover. I'm much too lazy to check if that's the same as my other car, or not. That depends on the insurance company. We tow where I work, and I

Money. A laptop costs a lot of money, and is *fragile*. If you drop it off a fender, or even a door sill then you're done. If you drop a scan tool, then you might have plug cables back in. New high

Don't forget that its quite possible to design a system that will pass emissions testing, but which will grossly pollute on the road. With dyno testing, it's harder, but still doable.
