I would share my project with the world since I enjoy seeing what others have posted. The 914world has been big help in sourcing info, parts, and the car itself.
I thought about building this car for years, and finally decided to act on it. Recomendations and comments are welcome. Thanks, Michael Project Scope Body: 1973 narrow bodied w/ fiberglass bumpers Engine: Honda S2000 F20C (250 ps @ 8200 rpm) Transmission: Stock Front Suspension: 87 911 front end w/ Bilstein Sports, 22 sway bar Rear Suspension 250 lb springs on bilstein sports, poly bushings Wheels: 15x7 with R compound Brakes: 87 911 Carrera F&R This is how it looked when I first got it. Brought this home from Southern Caifornia. The transport company rolled it up in the yard since it had no brakes. Repaired hell hole Reinforced rear suspension console Removed sound deadening from the floor and prepping for POR15 Rear fiberglass bumper fitted I hope to be installing the drivetrain in September, that is if Murphy's law quits getting me. The flywheel from KEP is several thousands too small to fit on the crankshaft so I need to get that resolved first. |

How's the project going? Progress has been slow. I would of had the engine mount finished by now, but I have changed my design during the fabrication process. I have decided to mount the engine using a six style firewall bulkhead mount instead of using the Type IV chassis mounting points. This will make for a much cleaner looking setup. I'm still waiting on my bulkhead mount from Maddog. I did order one of those high torque mini starters which saves a little more weight and the shift linkage clears the oil pan with no problem.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Pictures to follow when get the engine mount finish.
