Getting back into assembly of specialty equipment to the project; starting with the SQS sequential shifter module



I bet some trick engineering went into designing and making that puppy. Wow.

Absolutely awesome!
Keep those pictures coming. Looking forward to seeing that APR wing go on.


Thank you Shane, we actually started in on the wing side plates just before packing for Rennsport6...and put that aside for the moment.
The wing will just sit a tad over roof height and not require any funky guide-wires hanging on to it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I saw this car yesterday and it’s stunning. Art and skill and everything you could do to a 914 to race it, and do it exceedingly well. There are a handful of builds we’ve all seen through the years, this one is truly exceptional. Congratulations to Marty and his son!


Edward...pleased that you approve of what we have completed to date; a bunch of 18 hour days (like 5 weeks straight) to roll that 914 into the tent at Rennsport6 . We actually went through 99 cans of brew at the Saturday evening get together ! It was the highlight of the week for us to party on with y'all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Using a (3 phase) electric cord to get the sample length for the shift cable construction ; A local mfg. says about 1 week turnaround for the finished cable .

This build, put simply, brings a smile to my face.

Wow...love the build as a car, but also the heart and craft going into it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

The new JRZ suspension does not come with supports, nor brackets to hold the nitrogen canisters....just not for sale SO; building 4 of these tubular aluminum sectional housings to keep things in place. At Rennsport6 we just wrapped in small towels & zip tied !

SQS makes a large selection (various vehicles brands) of sequential shifter kits. They are good at what they design + mfg. The module is basically a blend of human input (you move the stick), changes into electronic command to solenoids which create shift linkage movement from the H pattern into a Linear pattern.

Moving on to the brakes, StopTech will be on our build. They are local to us in SoCal, offering us hands on engineering and design input on the project. I've been to their plants (2 in So Bay area) and the customer service is spot on.
Front calipers are their 6 piston units with 380mm x 32mm vented / floating discs that are built to bolt on to the 911 strut with 3 1/2" bolt spacing. The finish on the calipers will be their electroless-nickel, not red as in this factory pic. Minimum wheel dia is 18" with this brake setup and the 935 bits we have installed

Rear StopTechs are their #ST40 4 piston model. Using the Rich Johnson style 986 Boxster adapters, the ST-40's are 99% in position on the trailing arm. I'll use 12mm washers to shim the caliper into final position, then remake the aluminum blocks to the new fitment spec. The white trailing arm in the pic (use it at trade shows) is my workhorse for the rear prototype; so dont mind the solid rotor in place>> just being used for reference. The final rear rotors are 355mm x 32mm vented floating discs.
Sharpies make for decent 12mm soft dowels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

White suspension might look good on the right car. Hmmm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Thanks for the update. Looks great!

You're not going to make your own semi-trailing arms? Really?
