That thing looks wicked. I'm guessing it will turn some heads. Interesting components too. Looking forward to seeing video of your maiden voyage.

Wow! Have not shown the 2056 much love or even started it in 2 months. Went out tonight and it started on the first turn of the switch.

It is a good build.

Well making slow progress. Installed fittings in the breather base plates for the intake air temp sensor and,the return from the oil catch can for the head vents.

Ran a few of the AN lines. I sucked it up and purchased the Kool Tool for putting on the fittings and it takes about 15 seconds to put a fitting on a poorly cut hose and 2 seconds for a clean cut. Well worth the $30 bucks. Not a single bandaid need!

Started the removal process of the 2056 to go to Germany!

Not too nasty but could use a bit of cleaning!

Attached Image


Also ripped off the disgusting foil water holding cheap back pad material. Looks like I have some glue removal to do.

Will start the rear wheel bearing and bushing replacement after I get the engine out.

Nice build there Mike, what size carbs are you going to be running on it? Also, what are you using for headers on it? You can really pump some power out of that build, and it's SO much fun to drive

REALLY a clean and uncluttered look. It will look great when installed. Not so sure you want to leave the FI bodies on when you put it in. The shelve and the control arm shafts/nuts get in the way.

Yes i think we all do it a few times even with stock FI thinking we can shoe horn it in. With no damage. Easier to remove before install for sure.

Wheel bearing did not look too bad if you discount the grit and huge amount of slop in the bearing.

Still 4. Had them done in CA by Performance Brake. About $150 with pads and because they come with lifetime warranty doesn’t matter if the crack or warp.

Got a set for wife’s Boxster as well. Seem to be good stuff.

The can do the 5 lug as well.

Are the bushings Delrin, hard plastic type stuff, or rubber and did you lube the shaft? Does the shaft spin smoothly, with little resistance, in the bushings before assembly?

I assume you are talking about the shaft bushings. Not sure of the material but not soft rubber. Slightly hard plastic. Yes lube on shaft and it turns very smoothly. Once the nuts are tightened up there is more resistance. But super easy install compared to the trauma of putting the rubber ones in.

Fantastic. This will make a huge difference in ride quality and driveability. Resistance adds to the spring rate and this free moving suspension will allow your shocks/springs to do their work.

It all looks clean and well done. Good job.
