Ok, so maybe not under it's own power just yet, but it made it outside for a little sunshine. After reaching a good break point today, I rolled my car outside to finally get a look at that GT silver in the sun. I must say, it's inspiring to see it in the light of day. Now just a little more wrenching and it goes out under it's own power!

Haven't posted any progress pics of the car in a while. I've been busy working on clutcu and throttle linkages, fabricated/modded a muffer to clear the Wevo trans and provide a center outlet.
I still need to finish up wiring the gauges, fitting the front bumper and air dam, make the piece of shit rockers fit, bleed brakes, fill oil and gas........and go! |

Ok.......Mirrors are Miata power version, Wheels are 2003 911 17" (17x9 rear, 17x7 front)
The exhaust was a project in itself. It was a 911 sport muffler of some sort. It had 4 pipes as exits. I cut off the 4 pipes, then I had to remove a big section from the back to clear the Wevo trans. I did some rebaffling and added a section to the rear to re-gain the volume I removed from the backside. The I weld 2 2 1/2" tubes in the center for exits and used a BMW stainless oval twin tube tip. I have an early deep valence and I'm planning on fitting it around the exit. I'm not sure how the muff will work, but what hell ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

member? what's a member? Group: Members Posts: 3,393 Joined: 30-January 04 From: Evansville, IN (SIRPCA) Member No.: 1,615 Region Association: None |
Looks like it does well in the sun. It's similar to what mine will look like come springtime (if time permits) and I quit driving mine.
(I plan on doing flares this winter, I did my engine last winter and am driving it now as a narrow body.) Silver is really the best color for 914's (followed closely by Signal Orange, then Red) I do like the wheels as well. Please share what they are from. |

I should have take pics of the muffler as I was working it, but here's a couple of what I started with and the chunk I had to cut out to clear the Wevo. I'll take some shots of the finished product tomorrow and post them.
