Mark the Bumpsteer kits make all the difference. Much better than th old space your rack trick.

Rebel Racing sells two version, This is not one of their kits, Their lowers have speed holes.

Have a set for my -6 build, ran a set on my auto-x car for years.

Dammit that's nice! Congratulations @Cairo94507 You should know that seeing your car last November was one of the big motivators for me to get mine back on the road.

I'm going to be using this thread as a reference and asking some questions of the Justice League over the next couple of years.

Thanks

Thanks Pete & Gint. I appreciate that. I am going to wipe out down and give it a coat of wax this weekend so it will be ready for WCR next weekend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Mine is close, but dang that green really is nice....even on the bottom of the car.
Enjoy!

Saw your green machine in the flesh + spoke with Jim Geer who was putting the finishing touches on her. More perfect than Showroom Fresh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

I really appreciate that. It was a long time coming and I am really loving and enjoying the car. I think I have about 2,400 miles on it now.

Took my skeptical brother-in-law for a short little ride yesterday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) He was blown away by how it sounded, rode, pulled and handled. I still am not driving it hard but it did see 5K on the tachometer a couple times. I did one nice run on a long, smooth uphill freeway on-ramp, first through fourth and he was surprised. Coming home we went around a few nice turns and he said, "it's more go-kart than car". Then I put it up on the lift so he could see under the car and he was amazed at how nice it all looked.

Letters going on engine grill, measure, then measure again, then count the little diamonds to make sure. That 3.2 has approx 2.4 miles of wiring that the boys are trying to organize and make presentable. I heard you just wanted a driver. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) You will be please.

When I did my Motronic conversion for the 3.2 motor. I routed most of the wiring harness in the engine bay.

Been a while since I bumped this thread. My car has continued to evolve as I work out some very minor issues. I think this is quite common given my car sat for 61 months on the other side of the country, disassembled and then a lot of my unique Six parts that never made it back with the car. Here is the latest re work to get it even better:

Gathering parts to do a bit more work. Turns out the heater lever (red knob) in my car is the wrong lever- it is actually a hand throttle lever. So I am sourcing the correct lever to replace it.

Also, I felt my brakes were not up to snuff. So I have sourced a set of '88 Carrera front calipers and will buy the appropriate drilled and vented rotors to match and swap those out along with new pads. That should get her stopping on a dime. The rears are 914-6 GT calipers with drilled and vented rotors and are perfect.

Finally, the clutch pivot shaft in my pedal box somehow during rebuild got swapped with an SC clutch pivot arm. The difference makes the pivot arm about 1/2" longer and moves the throttle arm over accordingly. So I have the correct clutch pivot arm coming and will swap that out too.

Oh, I also sourced the correct rubber shift lever boot for the interior.

At this point it is just little things like this that need attention. The car is running like a champ and driving beautifully.

Thanks a lot. Yeah, I totally love my car.

I did sell my house with the garage that I remodeled. Got stupid money for the home, so I am not upset at all. We then bought a beautiful place up in Auburn on 2.8 acres with an oversized 3-car garage that I will be remodeling.

But, before I remodel my garage, my brother and I are in the process of building an ADU (additional domestic unit) on the property, 1200 sq. ft. of living space, with an attached 1200 sq. ft. garage so my brother can live here too. That garage is going to be our "car" garage for all things car related; I am very excited about that. Already have an architect on board and we are almost at the final revision of the plans. We have a great contractor on board and we expect to break ground in spring. As I type this, the surveyors are out there identifying all of the property boundaries for us so we are 100% sure we do not violate any set-backs, etc.

I am retired and keeping very busy. I was going to sell my '16 S3, and still will, so I can replace it with a new truck, but it has moved lower on the list, mostly due to the whole "chip shortage" BS. I refuse to pay an additional dealer mark-up for a truck. Now if it was a C8 Z06 Corvette.....

Late to this thread. I guess I should carve out a few hours to read everything. Looks inspiring!
