Dash and interior



Love the look of the car.

I have a non-racing slightly OT topic for you.... tell me about the gauge holder around the dash. it looks aftermarket for that dash and not "ho-made". I have 4 gauges to add to my daily driver and just can't seem to find a good looking (easy) way. I don't have the center console to putz with, but figured I might have to get one.

I seen his gauge cluster, George made it. It's really trick. Want one too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

George,
Great looking race car. I like the way it turned out. A ton of work.

I'll post pictures of the gauges, gauge cluster, HID lights, etc when I get a chance.

In the meantime, Shane sent me some great pics of the car and the weekend that I wanted to share.

By far my favorite. John noticed we were right under the string of Porsche victories up on the pit building behind us. Very cool!

John is really photogenic.

This is the high point of my weekend. Even though we blew a clutch, at some point we had every person under the car working on something to get it back on track. I wish we had timed it, but the important thing is it was done right and I got to work beside some of my best buds. You can also see the disintegrated clutch disk there on the left.

It's pretty cool to be able to talk to you wife while in the car and NOT have to pickup groceries...

Very cool. It will make a incredible progression thread better. I think I need one of those for the legacy wagon.

Following my promise to Kevin, (along with my family, of course) I'm going about this very slowly as funds are present Chris. The additional money I have to come up with for childcare every month now really brings us back down to barely breaking even now that we have the little guy. But long story short, found the car for $800, already parted it out for that, and some and still have yet to get the thing scrapped. It was fun getting it running right before I pulled the motor. So far it's cost me nothing. In the next couple days I'll post pictures of how I flipped the manifold and did all the "free" things I could before I am able to spend more money on it. My goal is to do the EG33 swap as simple and cheap as possible, perhaps to illustrate that getting 240 hp in one of these cars doesn't need to cost 10k +. Granted it's a beatup old racecar, but hopefully it'll at least be one more thread with information for others ready to do the same swap. Certainly would not have gone down the path without guys like you showing the way Chris. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Oh that's right...racecar. Let me think of a few things that are cheap or free.

Couple things:

1. re-seal the oil pan. It has no seal to buy, just use black RTV. That one is ALMOST CERTAINLY leaking.
2. For the throttle cable, since you flipped the intake you can now just use the 914 throttle cable. No need for a custom cable. You can either use a cable stop screwed to the end like the 914 is OR use the SVX end like mine

SVX/914 cable

1. cut the end off of the SVX cable (last few inches), then go to a home improvement store and get a ferrule stop and tool...

This may not be the right size, and they sell them in 2 packs for about $2, but you get the idea, right? Take the cable with you and you'll be able to see what size you need.

Ferrule stop

Swaging Tool:

Swaging Tool

Crimp the two cables together and then you have the SVX end in the SVX throttle body, 914 end for the 914 end. It WILL NOT pull out once you crimp it.

Now...you'll only use this tool ONCE...so....keep you're receipt...know what I'm sayin' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)? Its obvious most of the swaging tools have been returned over and over. Just keep it shiny and take it back.

Make sure before you crimp it that you measure it out so that you're close to the right length. Once you crimp it you're committed!

Make sense at all?

Cool, thanks for the tips Chris! I haven't decided which way to go on the throttle cable yet. I've swaged many a ferrule before, so that wouldn't be a big deal if I went that route. I'm not going to do the oilpan yet, as I need to order a bung for the oil temp sender and weld that into the pan since the car didn't come with one. On the street it wouldn't be a concern, but since these motors turn 7000+ rpms, I am curious what tracking it would do to the oil temps. I've already got the gauge anyway, so might as well use it.

Shane - it's 3.3, which would put it in the "C" class.
