Chappy,

Do you have one of those ride along camera set-ups? Will you give everyone a ride with you when you are done? That would be great.


Bob

i don't think there's any reason to make a poll asking "do you want a ride in chappy's car... yes or no"!

You should look in the member vendor area for Engman. He has very nice ones. I have a set. They are a little different than what he has on his car.

... Looking very nice. How are you painting the rockers and front bumper? Are You going to do the multi-colored thing?

Chappy,

If you used Marty’s rear valance did you need to make your left rocker 1” or so longer than the right one?

Funny (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) you say that because yes, I will have to add to the valance not the rocker.
I kept measuring the back of my flares and couldn't fiqure it out why it didn't match up. So I left it off until I get that taken care off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

Marty says his valance is perfect and I believe him. I went with Marty’s valance as the rear index point for the flares. The Getty rockers I got when lined up on the ground are shorter on the left side by over 1 inch. The right side fits perfect. I centered my flares over 8” 16 factory Fuchs in the front. I have seen a lot of cars that look tight on the left front forward edge. Not saying yours is one of them. Someone showed a very nice black 914 and it was that way.

I am very excited about you finishing your car.

My flares are not mounted in the factory location, I measured mine against Qarls. Instead they were mounted over the center of the rims which I feel is better as the front flairs on the factory fronts dont give you much room forward for tires and rim options.

Attached ImageChappy...keep your eye open for that BAE orange inlet (air suction) hose at high boost levels. On a recent prototype (BMW 335) we noticed that when we used more than 4 inches of flexible hose (1/4" wall) it ran fine... until over 15 psi boost at anything over 5,000 rpm. It would collapse on itself and actually turn the engine off ! So the kit is only made with mandrel bent 3" tubing, and hose only in short joint sections.

On the MSDS rear valence, our master jig is totally symmetric from L to R and R to L. The parts can only come out of the form this way. The master part was also originally cloned off of an original oe (narrow) rear valence, and formed by myself and a master panel beater. When I installed my rockers, the only supplier was A-I-R. I went thru a dozen sets of rockers and not one set was on the money. I picked the best set, but still needed to cut, fab, and match to my car.
The shop that did my GT fenders does restorations mostly on rare Porsche race cars, 906, 917, 935, 962 , IROCs and GTs. I never asked him where he centers up fenders, proll'y because of his experience and good craftsmanship on GT fender work. Although he did tell me to buy the rockers and fit them BEFORE he would paint them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Marty I dont know who was responsible for mounting my flares But I am sure your valance is right on, and my flares are off.

Marty what hose are you referring to.

That would be the larger dia orange color hose coming right off the top of the CIS (draw tube) going into the compressor inlet. You're proll'y OK up to 14 psi/ 6,500 rpm. Over that, I would look into making that junction out of metal.

I don't mean to doubt (or hijack), but I'm confused. I thought that the suction (feed to the turbo compressor) was the blue hose just under the air cleaner. Then, air would be sucked into the compressor, compressed, blown into the inter-cooler, and finally ends up in the orange hose just above the throttle plate.

Please explain. (un-confuse me please)

BTW, the car is looking great (again)!
