What are you using for a bracket in your bumper photo? Also, who's bumpers are these and did they fit?

Bracket is mild steel, and the bumper is a one off. Go back to the very first post of this thread & you will see the bumper. The custom shape, done by the PO, while it looks great its actually a foam filler sanded to shape, then a thin layer of bondo, then painted. Well it turned out like caca when painted a lighter color, cuz the bondo cracks like mad. I had a local carbon fiber specialist make a mold of the bumper and then duplicated it in fiberglass, its been a e$$pencive process, and I prolly would not do it again. People have asked if I would be interested in selling them...........I dunno?.

been following this thread for a bit - your car is awesome! The no-eyebrow idea looks pretty slick in the closed position - I like it since those pieces just never seem to line up nicely on the seams with those rubber mounts. I bolted mine in so I could get them to line up and stay. Look forward to seeing the finished product!

03/12/06 Test fit install of front toe eye, will powder coat it red.

04/01/06 First time workin on the car for three weeks.

04/13/06 got some little things done, bead blasted and painted & installed headlight buckets.

04/13/06 Installed exhaust heat sheild, it has a special high temp powder coat thats a really cool looking finish, I am thinking about using it on a few other parts.

04/13/06 Finish install of brake/clutch pedal assembly. Had to wait for a special plunger for the 23mm MC.

04/13/06 Installed rear trunk latch assembly. Actually keyed it to match the ignition key!

04/13/06 Off the subject of the GT I just sealed the deal on a new daily driver today.... AND.... its a P car!
(hint) Its a pepper under pressure. I am so so stoked.

Perfect timing, thanks for posting the picture of your headlights, I was trying to figure out how to put mine back together.
That pedal assembly is awesome, was that done by Eric? your car sure looks good, your're doing a great job on it.

Marv, Where did you bring your DME harness through to the passenger compartment? Did you incorporate it into the stock 914 harness? I didn't see any large new holes in your firewall, just curious?? I haven't figured out where/how to bring mine in yet.

DME not going in cab. Goin in rear trunk on panel behind engine next to right shock tower. Had it there when it was a 3.2, never had a problem with heat or otherwise.

That pedel cluster turned out exactly like mine...sweet!

Marv great project I noticed something studin' the pictures. You have a rear toe plate stiffener like Brant runsruns, you got some details of this better pictures etc...

Thanks, Stephen

Your car is one Bad Mo Fo. The attn. to detail is staggering, it's almost better than sex. Nice Job!

08/02/2006 Finally some new progress, have not worked on car since April (been very busy at work) just rec'd HRE311 wheel centers that have been powder coated a luscious "cosmic grey metallic" pics don't begin to show how good they look.

08/02/2006 Dash has been reworked, radio & vent controls removed. Have new vent where the ash tray was made from a 03 ford f150 truck vent angled toward the driver. This will be powered by a 12v boat bilge blower that will be mounted under the dash.

The dash vinyl has a carbon fiber weave effect.

marv...you're nuts
and absolutely insane
this has got to be one of the neatest, cleanest, no holds barred,projects i have ever seen!!!

pic 1 Me in the cockpit, taken 9/14/6. (with harness on for broken collarbone)
pic 2 New lic plate.
pic 3 dash installed.

pic 1 brake line installed
pic 2 dash complete
pic 3 doors installed, major bummer here door gaps are shiite. the car seems to have moved while installing engman inner long kit. both doors will have to reworked and repainted to get gaps right.

I've been wondering what happened to this project

Can't wait to see it completed!

Sure is looking good ...



So what about the collarbone? Biking accident?

Why yes, how would you guess that? I am a victim of innattention, was descending a steep V ditch shaped chute when I lost traction on the front tire. I wasn't even thinking about what I was doing, I was thinking about how I was gonna vary my next lap when bammo, down I went.....hard. Thats the problem with riding the same trails hundreds of times a year, you don't pay close attention.

I did the same exact thing a few years back. Got to wear that cupless-bra as well . Sucks...

Car is looking great!

Bummer about the doors Marv.

Looks great. Can you give me a run down on the CF hood prop? This is exactly what I've been looking for.

Its a Seinesystems Ultimate strut available here

Looks great!

Marv,

Intense! Beautiful and done right. I look forward to seeing the finished product. Your attention to detail is outstanding. I live off the Palms to Pines 74 in Valle Vista, let's do it!

Dan

That's what I thought... did you have to modify it in any way (shorten?)

Thanks Dan! I figure it'll be another 6 mo's to finish, then your on!
Eric, yes had to shorten or it would have hyper extended the hood hinges.

Marv

We sponsored (3) ten man corporate teams at the 24 Hours of Adrenalin race starting tomorrow Valle Vista Boyz , at Hurkey Creek I will only be there for a few hours. We have a good showing of Intense bikes in our pits. If you get a chance stop by our tent and enjoy a warm caterered meal. Intoduce yourself to Larry Minor or Howard Rosenthal as my friend. I was at Hurkey today, lot of your product there.

Dan

Dan, we (Intense) tried to work out a deal to be there officially but could not come to an agreement with the promoter. I will not be there, broken wing and all, but do have fun be careful on those night laps!

Yeah! Attached is a picture of my 3:00 AM ride last year that left me sitting with an ice bag for about 2 hours! So much dust on the downhill two HID's did not work. I will email you some pics of our camp amd your bikes.

Dan

Strut on order. Thanks

Marv,

I know this is going back into your thread a bit, but what is the source/application of the master cylinder reservoir you used for your car?

Great work, BTW!!

Andys

Source would be Patrick Motorsports.

Hey sorry to bother, but did the guys from Patrick Motorsports send u a patter or any instructions to install the GT oil cooler??? Cuz i bought one and got nothing and i dont want to try and do it without any instructions.

Could you give me some feedback on how to install this thing or scan the instructions for me??? i have been trying to get this guys from PM to send me some instructions and some bolts for my flywheel but no luck....
Its just not good cuz i cannot put my engine and tranny together and i cannot do any progress on my car, thats sh...ty

Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Fernando

Fernando...stop stuttering (DBL post).
When I received the last 3 fr coolers from them there were NO instructions in the boxes. I install the coolers with the in/ out ends on the right (pass side) for T4 eng...and the left (driver) for a six. Then cover it up with a GT (aftermarket) shroud- or fab one.
I need to put up some more pics on my 2.0 build, but Trekkor should have this jpeg on his build history--check archives .
EZ job !
Marty

Here ya go, I knew I had this at work. It is self explanatary.

The diagram may or may not be accurate for his installation. For instance, why add another filter? On a 95 3.6, that would give you 3 filters. I ran my lines down the right, not the left and installed the thermostat very close to the scavenge side of the pump on the right side of the motor mount. Very clean that way

IMO the billet filter is optional, Jim Patrick builds his race cars with this filter so if you blow an engine you won't send all the particulate matter throughout your oil cooling system. To each his own on which side to run the lines, seems to me if the oil tank is in the factory location then why cross the car to the opposite side and use more -12 line than neccessary? I chose left side, like the factory cars and put the T stat up by the oil cooler just cuz I saw race cars setup that way and it looks good there. The diagram shows the basic layout of the lines and connectors needed to install in a similar fashion to the factory GT's.
