I already got a new timing light. It did not have all the bells and whistles I wanted like RPM indicator but it will serve my intended purpose for what capabilities it has.

This is the feature I wanted most. Ability to do advance timing more precisely.

Detachable chords. Not a must actually but can be convenient when storing the tool.

This unit's OEM is Actron.

Re: Automotive Tools

I like how the timing light looks like..60's sci fi with analog knob and all!

Mukhang mas matibay ang case kesa sa mga China made na plastic na.

Actron USA made pa ito before they outsourced to China.

Craftsman has two product lines. Craftsman and the Craftsman Professional. The latter is always the better choice.

Re: Automotive Tools

Nice timing light, I think the shell branch near my place also uses craftsman but it seems to be shorter than the one you got.

Where did you get it and how much?

Re: Automotive Tools

It's a local purchase. Got it for a bit more than what you ask for your Actron.

It was the advance feature I'm after. Actually with this feature I can set the advance timing in corresponding degrees and still use the default factory mark on the engine and pulley. The timing light will take care of it instead of me relying on the graduated engine markers . Much more accurate.

Re: Automotive Tools

Yep, that would be easier to use since the dial is already located on the gun and all you have to look is for the line to line up with the TDC marker with the advance timing set on the dial of the gun.

Re: Automotive Tools

mahirap yata makita yung offset compared to the TDC mark. lalo na kung medyo malabo na yung mata 😀

Re: Automotive Tools

@Jay, Nakuha na today yung timing light. Problem is yung girlfriend and kumuha, iba pala kapag girl ang buyer makilatis and malaki possibility na mag-ask ng extra. Bigla tuloy nagkaroon ng warranty. Ayoko na ng ganun sa susunod mahirap tanggihan 😀

Re: Automotive Tools

that is one reason why I don't mind having my boss join me when buying tools 😀

I found this surplus Rear Sway Bar for the Honda SiR. Will repaint it and make it look new. It would be better sana kung Powder Coated but still had no chance to study this and get the tools. I could farm it but would want all work in house as much as
possible.

I will install this when I receive the Energy Suspension Bushing Kit we ordered for the car's entire suspension system. I will post the upgrade suspension WIP then.

This will be a lot of bushing work ..... 😮

As in Sir Timber's favorite - TIGHT TOLERANCE for better build/performance .... if you know what I mean hehhehehe

Re: Automotive Tools

Two of the most comon engine HP upgrades are Forced Induction ( Supercharger or Turbo ) and Naturally Aspirated or NA as its most commonly referred too.

In NA setup we try to get as much air to the combustion chambers. One way of achieving it is by installing a Cold Air Intake. As we know the cooler the air the more oxygen molecules are in it at a given volume.

We purchased a surplus head lamp, modified it as below so we can upgrade to a Ram type Intake.

We'll later build a box inside to house the filter element and isolate it from engine heat. It will draw cooler air from the outside through the Ram Intake. The faster the car goes the more air it will feed to the filter box via the ram intake.

Re: Automotive Tools

This is an example of a Cold Air Intake competition setup. The air filter is in the fender well where it can draw cool air.

We are replacing this one with the RAM Air type setup above.

Hopefully after finishing the suspension later we will do a full engine rebuild to blueprint it.

The one eyed car na to .... not a setup for daily driver.
