I've been working on vehicles professionally now for 8 years. It was only supposed to be a temporary job until I could find something I wanted to do (nothing more permanent than something temporary). In that time, I have acquired quite a few tools. One of those tools, I got close to two years...

You make them out of Cedar?

Yeah I'm trying to post more often. Even if it means I necro post on my own thread with my project that's been on ice for a while now.

Tried using Wayback Machine last night again, to see what I can make it do. When the the site is on there, the search function for the site, Wayback Machine states that it has not been archived. Not sure if its a coding error or what.

Wayback Machine is a bit finicky I've found same with Archive.today. You have to go through each thread and Archive it, as well as each page. If you don't do each individual page, it does not go well. Plus also trying to make sure the search function works well. Never tried HTTrack.

In the event that DIY GoKarts has to be shut down permanently, is there a way to have this place just be a read-only, but also shows any pictures that are hosted on here? Would hate to see what 2 decades worth of useful information just vanish into the ether. Been seeing far too many forums just...

If he lost his login info, he would have made a new account by now. Wonder what happened? I knew at the time (as I mentioned this before) but that part of Germany was under some nasty flooding. I know he gear ratio calculator app no longer works.

No idea. He got himself perma banned for going on a tirade. Came back like a few months later under a different account and hasn't been back in a HOT minute. Same with Alex (itsid).

Only ever the 212, 79, occasionally the 420, 708cc (vertical shaft for z-turns) and rarely the 301. Engine sales are scarce. But yeah, I remember 212 engines being $99 and was skeptical on how well they would hold up being modified to the moon. But they seem to hold up pretty well, even with a...

Anywho, the Titanium 65 plasma cutter has an Inside track sale until Jan 1, 2026 for $899. https://www.harborfreight.com/65-amp-plasma-cutter-58895.html

Was about to mention that 12-16-25 is the only day to get 25% off any of the Predator engines. Might be a good time to get a second engine just incase.

Where's Doug aka Poboy when you need him?

Nah let him send it. The results alone are at least worth noting. That way we can say, hey this is why you DON'T use them. Same goes with using cast iron fly wheels and removing the governor.

But majority of every site I use is dark mode, especially YouTube.

One forum I'm on that uses XenForo did add on the dark mode, and it was weird. Could be because its normally in beige.

Make a gas powered scooter or skateboard?

Can't have money to buy drugs, so he forces his nephew to waste money on go karts. Honestly, based.

For in person land surveying, drones and a quad or even a dirt bike/mini bike could help a lot.

Sounds fun for the first couple hours.

I'm waiting to see how the new Titanium 210 will be at launch from HFT. Or I might save a few bucks and get an Everlast.
