Scca mandates a fuel sampling port, recommends it not be in the engine area, so sorry. Spun this fitting out of brass to couple the quick disconnect to my PMO fuel line adapters. Photos.

[Thorshammer]

I snapped this photo at about 5:15 AM April 2, The tech session is only 5 hours away, and I realize I am not going to make it after working through the night. You know its bad when the trash pile gets this big in 8 hours.

[Thorshammer]

I completely changed my throttle cable asembly, even made a new cable. So I needed a new bracket, can anyone identify this piece of stock. The only difference in this and the original is the length, one extra hole drilled into it and two holes enlarged. Hint, it does not belong in the engine compartment or bolts into the engine compartment. Pics of course.

I also wanted to mount the fuel distribution so that it would stay cool, so how about on top of the engine shelf and in front of the fan, Should get okay air flow and made the plumbing very easy.

cowl support?

anyway, things look good!
hope you can still make it for your tech session

[Thorshammer]

Jeroen,


Yes, Cowl Support, had an extra, looked like a match for the bracket I needed. Need to paint it though.


Erik

[Thorshammer]

Well its finally done!

As I said before, It needs paint, Imagine what YOU can do with 200 $ worth of decals. And no I'm not a cop. The decals just fit into my black gelcoat fender theme.

Front End 1/4 photo. I thought about making the sticker say to "protect and serve you your lunch" But thought that might be a little bit over the top.

Front trunk area with the oil cooler ducts and the ducting, seems to work okay with the leaf blower check, but we'll see when I get to the track.

[Thorshammer]

Oil cooler duct exit, oberg oil filter and associated piping.

Motor finished, more on that in a couple more posts, Tryign to house break the little girl. No quite yet. If you need plug wires don't buy these they suck. Accel for my Electromotive. I'll be buying some Clewett Engineering wires next week, it took me literally 90 minutes to put 6 plug wires on the plugs. Not properly designed for a Porsche. But what should I expect, I bought the wires for a chevy V 8 as suggested by a friend er ah... an aquaintance. No good. But it does run and they do work.

In case anyone has forgotten, this IS the number you call if you need to call the cops, fire departemnt or have a medical emergency. I just thought I would make it easy for my neighbors to call when I go for a blast up and down the street. Actually they are all very supportive, many seeing the car in the driveway for the first time. What is really the best, is I live right next to a golf course, can't stand the game. And when I mean right next to I mean the 13th T box is 20 yards from my front door. I love firing racecars or motorcycles up when they are about to T up. Racecar firing up while driving......Priceless.

Front view, Almost thought I should have turn the Police decal upside down, so it could be read in the mirror. Who cares though.


Erik

[Thorshammer]

Not bad coverup of my piss poor paint.


Well, the money went into the engine and chassis


Erik

[Thorshammer]

Some of my reasons for going with this scheme:

Initially thought I could get some DARE money from the state, but the program is not going on anymore.

My local cops are good guys, but getting them to do anything about the assholes that are late for their T time driving down my street at 70 MPH, so I thought I could park this at the end of my driveway, and at least get a couple morons to shit themselves and stomp on the brakes. Just today it's work three times. I thought one woman was going to drive straight into my front yard trying to slow down her Excursion. Same broad I yelled at last summer. Next time, I'm gonna throw a rake at her.

Another 1/4 front view, oh and my 100lb yellow lab. Great dog, only bit me once, last Sunday. Thought we were playing, he did'nt. Got me in the finger. Only a little blood. No where near as much blood as this car drew.


Erik

[Thorshammer]

Front end with Hood, The hood is well used, and well abused, planning on picking up a new one soon.


Erik

[ChrisFoley]

Good job Erik!
and Good Luck next weekend at NHIS.
I noticed there are a few other EP cars entered.

[Thorshammer]

Do you remember that I said the little girl was not house broken yet, Yes this is a photo of her peeing on my driveway. Pressure leak from an upper case bolt, rolled the o'ring when I assembled it. Shroud off, problem found, new oring, a little sealant, while its drying, I am posting. This should be the last thing I need to do before the race next week. Be traveling on business this week. Need to ship some stuff out to you guys. Been kind of lax on that. I apologize! Been working. So what do you think?????


Erik Madsen

Post Script: I could use some crew help at NHIS the first week in May for the National, Both Chris Foley and I will be there. I need someone that can do tire temps, and nut and bolt a car, have some reasonable mechanical skill as to be able to check wheel torque, run a stop watch etc.. any takers, gate fee paid. Contact me at 508-947-1079 or 508-524-3145
