Hi All,
Things are moving along a bit.
Not to beat a dead horse, but these are the two connectors we are having trouble identifying. Wayne has ordered the shop manuals, but if anyone knows what these are, I would appreciate any help.
Here is a shot of the car on the ground. We have adjusted the coil over shocks a little bit. We still have to tweak them a bit, but we are close for now. When all is said and done we should end up with 4" of ground clearance (plus or minus 1/4").
We have resolved the issues we were having with the cold air induction system.
K&N,
BBK, etc... were of no help what-so-ever. Anything out of the ordinary, and they have not a clue. I finally came across a company called Western Motorsports
www.wmsracing.com and they are going to help us out with one of their high velocity intake systems. They are even going to help by supplying a number of alternate tube configurations so that we can piece together something for this rather unique installation.
Western Motorsport and LDC Chicago, along with Maximum Motorsports, NPD,
MagnaFlow and CenterForce Are all on my preferred vendor list.
We have figured out how to reconfigure the intercooler plumbing (the original factory configuration was interfering with the front sway bar. We now have to solve the same issue with the engine coolant lines and we will be able to push toward firing up this beast for the first time.
We should be receiving the revised oil filter relocation kit today. If this works as planned, we should have a pretty slick setup. I will post photos of this setup next week.
Well that’s enough for now.
Catch ya'll l8r.
Bob
