A64 Center differential mock-up. Arete supercar project.

[@SteveBueche1027]

I look forward to your videos and your positive attitude.

[@shaunpc2512]

I gotta be honest sir, this project is incredible and I’d love to actually see it in person. Very interesting stuff indeed. 👍🏻

[@TheBreadlord]

Yes! Arete update time!

[@WorldRaceMVG]

Wow I'm always amazed at how much you get done. Keep it up

[@BuilderCreator]

Funny you should say that, as I felt that the week was a failure as far as getting much done on Arete. So much other stuff interrupted the car progress. Good weeks to come and then you will think I am a time management genius. Ha!

[@WorldRaceMVG]

@@BuilderCreator I can’t wait

[@sergiopereira1696]

Ithis is incredible. congratulations Jarvie for another step. all is well.

[@mariueg]

Been bindge-watching this series now and you are awesome! Been reccomending this series to my friends as well

[@BuilderCreator]

Thanks for the watch time and the referrals. I'll keep the videos coming!

[@LuvMyGT500]

I completely enjoy your vids and I’m happy that your son is joining his “ol man” with the KZbin channel. Hopefully you don’t lose focus on the current project as so many KZbinrs tend to do, the next project will be waiting once the homemade super car is done.

[@BuilderCreator]

Don't be surprised, but I usually have a half dozen project in the works between gardening, remodeling and architectural drawing. The Arete project sees sudden spurts of greater dedication and progress on occasion. . . .I see one coming soon!

[@LuvMyGT500]

@@BuilderCreator I’m super happy to hear this and also thrilled to continue learning while watching you.

[@davidchanget2563]

Pretty amazing that you can do ANYTHING

[@BuilderCreator]

"Anything," in all caps is a bit of a stretch, but thanks for the kind words. More like "willing" to try ANYTHING, as long as it is moral and legal (and legal is questionable) Ha!

[@3Derik]

Such an inspirational channel you have :)

[@BuilderCreator]

One of the main reasons in posting this content is to inspire. I'm glad to hear that my efforts are finding a home. Thanks for watching.

[@benjamindavidson632]

I never said this but how I came across your channel was by BUILT OFFICIAL. I figured I should give him some credit. Oh and I think he needs some advice on fiberglass hahaha. The car seems so close but so far from being done hahaha

[@BuilderCreator]

90% done with only 80% to go. Ha!

[@keithyoung7]

Always interesting

[@Ralph2]

For the first time I struggled to understand what was going on. Probably due to the amount of alcohol consumed. I promise to come back sober next time and I have every confidence you know what you're doing :)

[@multishit6664]

Haha!

[@indigrace6584]

That looks explosive...🔥🔥

[@deeplato5647]

Thanks for the episode. Neat how to on a foam cutter!

[@19chucki74]

I'm wondering if what I'm seeing is correct, that you're building a midengine, front wheel drive sports coupe... Totally mind blowing. Got me inspired to start on my dream as well.

[@BuilderCreator]

Well, mid engine, All wheel drive, sports GT, but you where close! Thanks for following the project.

[@anomamos9095]

People have made hot wire foam cutters out of cheap battery chargers, often you can get one for less than components to make it. If you do try to make one from a battery charger the cheapest simplest ones are the best to use as the better ones have too much electronics in them to protect or condition the batteries etc. so when you connect the wire it will either shut off blow a fuse or pulse madly or cook the electronics

[@BuilderCreator]

When the old system came up missing, I thought about grabbing something simple, but then thought, "I may be doing lots of foam in the future," why not a dedicated power supply that could handle long or short lengths and thick or thin nichrome?

[@johnpenman4726]

What type of transfer box are you using ,I know some of the Japanese have a chain drive Internaly ,is that what you referred to when mentioning a chain drive ?

[@KeeleDesign]

How come you didn’t add gel coat before fiberglass the exterior??

[@justtowatch111]

What a great start to my day, a new video from you!

[@ironshykh]

Hey.....i have been watching you videos And i wanted to know the type of metal that you used to make the chasis....can you answer me plz?

[@herrboeing]

I recently found your channel, have you ever made a video explaining how to produce the fenders and other parts where they are stuck in the body? for example, let's say I want to use screws to fix a fender, how do I do this part where the screw will be fixed?

[@BuilderCreator]

I will be showing how fasteners are bonded into the laminate for attaching parts if that is what you are looking to see. Stay tuned.

[@herrboeing]

@@BuilderCreator great, thanks

[@josephjones4293]

Maybe i missed it... but how are you not going to have 5/6 reverse gears and 1 forward? I know kitcar guys that use a 911 trans have to flip the internal diff because it is designed to sit in front of the motor. This trans is designed to sit behind it so being out front means it will spin backward, therefore all forward gears are now reverse gears. Do you have a plan for that?

[@BuilderCreator]

This is not an "off-the-shelf" center diff, I am building it from other transfer case components. The shaft rotations will all rotate correctly. Output to the front diff will be in the right rotation (Engaging the helical, not trying to climb out), but would have turned the axles backward if it was not flipped (as in the Porsche box scenario you described) I could have used a diff from a truck, but finding matching gear ratios and the fact that they usually have long input yokes (the Corvette Getrag diffs are nice and short with a bolt flange) swayed me into the direction of just doing the flip up front. Hope that helps.

[@keithspencersr.6806]

Is your vehicle going to be all wheel drive, if you said it in a early video sorry, must of missed it.

[@BuilderCreator]

All wheel drive-yes.

[@davidbeer]

Chain driven centre differential. Is that something that is commonly used? Up to the task? Personally I don't know. What is the consensus of opinion? Honestly, I am uneducated in this area..

[@BuilderCreator]

Almost all high horsepower transfer cases in trucks are chain driven. The chain and viscous coupling I am using came from a truck (GMC Typhoon) transfer case. It was a popular drag racing truck in its day.

[@novakjovanovic7313]

Love this build. Is it going to be rwd or awd? I can't tell what's going on with the diff at this point..

[@BuilderCreator]

all wheel drive

[@jccreszMinecraft]

What is the thick foam sheets brand? I've been trying to find them for my own projects.

[@BuilderCreator]

It is just stuff I have collected from furniture packing. If you don't have plans to buy some furniture, a furniture store would probably be glad to give you some.

[@More_Row]

Hey cool build mate, you should find a way to position the microphone so it doesn’t rub against your clothes so much. Just some small constructive criticism

[@BuilderCreator]

Or just quite wearing clothes. . . does that go against KZbin's community guidelines? Thanks for the input, always trying to improve the audio.

[@iainmacpherson6858]

Was that architecture software you used for the wiring diagram

[@BuilderCreator]

Yes, I have a version of AutoCad that is tailored for architecture. The backside " AutoCad engine" is the same.

[@kelvinlee963]

Awesome.

[@andriimarkevych6684]

Good luck

[@MubshiTVHD]

I love your work, but isn't very slow? It's been years n years. Anyway, love from Pakistan 😍

[@BuilderCreator]

Welcome to you from Pakistan! The project has been in the works for 3 years, but a good part of one year was building the shop/studio on to the house and took most of my time.

[@MubshiTVHD]

@@BuilderCreator good luck man, God bless you always...

[@Paul_D_Lashley]

Can the transfer case not be rotated, or would that throw off the propeller shafts?

[@BuilderCreator]

The shaft rotations and the viscous coupling bias is wrong. I will go over the theory in detail in the near future.

[@leckspert]

In the wiring diagram why are the switches on the negative side of the circuit. Is that not dangerous in regards to an accidental grounding even with the switch off?

[@myopinion69420]

It's an AC circuit, there is no "negative" both the "active" and "neutral" have potentially lethal voltages. In a perfect world, the neutral wire should be 0v, but it's not usually the case. Also, wiring errors occur regularly where a home owner or even an electrician gets the active and neutral mixed up at the socket. The transformer should protect the user. As it maxes out at 6v, pretty hard to electrocute yourself at 6v. Also, if the workshop is relatively new, it should be wired with rcd's

[@leckspert]

@@myopinion69420 thanks for the info, very well explained.

[@BuilderCreator]

You are correct that in all these components with AC the power and neutral legs can be swapped. My error on the first round was using a DPDT switch out of my "stash" that had no documentation and being lazy. Rather than assume it was like "the other guys" I should have just taken a few minutes and checked the continuity across the legs. Luckily just some smoke and a new switch (x2 on/ off switch fried as well). The Arc fault breaker didn't even see an event as the transformer adsorbed the rest of the heat.
