hey Marv,

beautiful work. coupla ?'s:

1. there was a thread recently re: threaded collars for rear suspension. There was concern that the collars fit too loosely on the shock and potentially allowing the collar to skip over the retainer - not fun. Did you encounter this? If not, mind telling your source?

2. looks like bils front, koni rear. any problem matching characteristics?

3. will this car be street legal?

thanks

boxstr: fuel tank going in and over the fuel pump??
Yep, don't think it will be much of a problem, I thought alot about putting the fuel pump on the wall outside, but are gonna put a CNC rebuildable fuel filter out on that panel. To remove the tank to get at the fuel pump should be perty straight forward.

Pic not flipped, did not even think about using the safety wire to tension, just using to keep from backin out.

2/22/06 No pics. Installed engine bay seals, a surprisingly easy job when using silicone lubricant and the correct tools! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

R&R the steering column, bunch o grit & sand from sandblasting,.....clean & lubed, ready to install............Need to find new upper & lower clamshell plastics for steering column for 914-6, will put add on parts forum.

Worked on modifying dash panel, R installing a boat bilge blower as an air delivery vent system that will blow cool air towards my face. Early teeners suck for air flow & ventilation. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

Marv,

I'm enjoying the show....keep it up!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap56.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap56.gif)

The rear brake adapter look like it says "Brembo" on it. Where did you source the adapters? Are the calipers Big Reds, 928S4, etc.?

Also, what MM torsion bars are you running in the front since you're not running coil-overs? Do you know the spring rates you're using for the front and rear?

Thanks

The setup is all Brembo its the new GTP LW, this is their light weight full floating rotor system, this is kitted for early 911. I sourced everything from a friend at Race Technologies. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Front torsion bars are hollow 22mm, rear springs are 200lb mains and 150lb tenders.

Are you changing the cams out?
Yes, I have Web Cam RS cam for 993 w/ hydralic lifters,........ how much power? I don't have a clue, I have talked to Steve Wong (911chips.com) and my ECU is one of the Euro versions he can program. The plan is to dyno this baby to tune the chip (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) .............Other engine mods are light flywheel, match flowed injectors, 1 3/4" headers, B&B 2 in, with 2- 3" out muff.

I will post some pics soon on the work we did last night, we installed some of the body panels: front & rear CF hoods, rear bumper & custom steel valence with flare to match GT flare, the rear looks just plain sick!!!!!!!! kinda looks like a 930 a$s end.

Close up of GT flare to lower valence metal work, it turned out great (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Just wait til U see the rocker panels installed (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) It really looks like a 930 and 914 mated.
