zebra Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Liner is around 40 bucks from memory, also bugget 50-60 for a "U" feed roller. Alternativey a 200A AC/DC Tig starts at $1500, better if you only want to do aluminium and sheet stainless.. But depends on what you prefer Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/415573-sau-act-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/70/#findComment-6926571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.I.Y. Mik Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) And thats why i got a $270 mig. AC/DC Tig is obviously the nicest kit, but like you said: $1500. Maybe one day if i can afford it. After using mine and watching you tube tutorials, i realize the ones with the chart inside and a voltage dial and not switches, are the good ones. That Weldmatic looks nice. But... do you have a 15amp socket in your shed? You may need a sparkie for that. Edit: My main concern is i wont have the control to weld thin material. And thats mainly what i need to do for car mods. In hindsight a good welder would be far more useful. Edited July 14, 2013 by D.I.Y.

Shuyin Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Trying to figure out the consequences of fixing the leak in the throttlebodys. So when me and the old man built the engine he decided to clean all the black gunk from the throttlebodys, not knowing that it was the seal. So had the high idle issue. Dicked around with the PFC and the TPS and fixed the idle. Then the 4wd started to play up, engaging in reverse, things like that. Took it to ESP and the wizards there fixed the issues with by fiddling with the TPS again. 4wd works a treat. So now I’m finally at the point of fixing the seals. It was almost 12 months ago when ESP fixed the 4wd so no-one has any idea what the car will do when they are fixed. Knowing my luck the whole car will explode Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/415573-sau-act-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/70/#findComment-6932764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
