The Long Wait is Over

Now that the wait is over is time to get work I finally got my rx7 but its far from meeting my expectations I've been prepared to work long nights and am willing to abandon all means of social life. This is the reason why I'm dropping out of school lol ... jp mr.g but still I'm excited but I have realized that this is going to be far from a fun and financed project wish me luck.

Here is a bit of what we did in class today. We also went ahead and started to prep our components for reassembly.

Piston Technology!! Casting vs. Forging READD!!

I hope you've all been paying close attention to the BIG Picture... Not all pistons (or engine components) are created equally. When manufacturers designate a certain material and design for a piston, they do this after a very well thought out decision making process which involves questions such as: What is the primary purpose of the overall final product? How much will it cost? How long do we intend it to last? What kind of gasoline do we suggest get's used by the consumer? Will it be easy to service? Ferrari and Honda produce vehicles: Correct. Ferrari and Honda ask themselves the same questions: CORRECT. Ferrari and Honda produce a great vehicle: Opinions may vary. Ferrari and Honda produce super cars for a high end market: Depends. Ferrari and Honda make two entirely different products: YES. Please consider the differences!

Make sure you read through all 5 pages of this article. You will recognize much of the information I shared with you in class.
