Love the Neo914 project. I've had similar dreams, but I've several years from starting on anything. My long term goal is to create a comfortable highway cruiser with all the modern amenities, like good climate control/AC. My wife's family is in LA so we do the highway 5 boggie down from SF several times a year. I'd love to do that in a 914.

So I'm most interested in your new climate control system. I see you're splicing in an Audi system, but how much of it? Including the heater mixing box? If so, how are you mounting that? In the front trunk or behind the front bulkhead in the passenger compartment? AC? Condenser location?

Sorry so many questions,

Thanks,

Andrew


Andrew,

Thanks for the interest, I've heard alot about your race prowness!

I have the Audi S4 dash, climate control unit, controller that I'm adapting, er shoehorning ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) into the car. There is room under the cowl without the stock fan/blower and vents. It will fit but the passenger may have limited leg room (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) .

I have 996 dual radiators and condensors to use with the stock Audi A/C compressor and dryer. I doubt it will work by November but as long as all the components are in, I just need to get custom AC lines made and the harness connectors attached. I am currently using an AC delete accessory belt, it must have come from Germany, LOL.

No pics until it is more complete but I am photo documenting most of the steps for those who want to duplicate it.

Last night a custom fabricator came by and took measurements off of my car for the rear spoiler. He'll be back next week with a prototype hinge to test for fit. Clearly this guy knows what he's doing. He showed up in a really wild hot rod he built. I'll try to get a picture of it next week. Very cool custom built car. WWII bomber motif with 50 cal barrels on the front, and tons of custom fabricated stuff including a throttle from some plane that he's using as his cruise control!

Anyway, the spoiler fabrication appears to be in good hands.

The fabracator ( David West) has the parts he needs to do the spoiler and my permission to cut it up for what he needs. I hope this will help to make it make to the show.

Not much posting till now. I'm getting over a flu bug probably because I was working so late each night. The filler and glass dust/fumes didn't help.

The body prep is coming along, Ashley is working hard to avoid overuse of filler. It got into the high 90's a couple of weeks ago so I erected a car tent.

The front bumper was/is a project, I molded some fog light bezels out of yogurt containers and then molded the BMW intake bezels in plastic coated cardboard. The challenge was making it symetrical. It turned out the body and fenders weren't so I may have to refuse full front view pics for this reason. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I'm still happy with the results and am learning alot more about fiberglass and forming materials. I'm going to tackle some CF after the "scoop" top.

I test fitted the cut-down tail light and housing. David will be up next week to fit the articulating spoiler. He's designed in the actuators and micro switches. I will have a "LAPUWALI" sticker under the spoiler as a tribute to James.

The headlight lenses are due any day now thanks to Tony and Jes' dad. I'm going to mount the ballasts inside the fender so I'll need to fab some liners to protect them.

That's it for now, maybe not until SEMA. Hope to see some of you there!

Felix,

steering wheel extension is machined...you'll need 6 1/4-20 x 7/8 button socket head cap screws. If you want black oxide finish you can get them from mcmaster-carr....91255A541 is the item number, $7.20 for a pack of 50, or I can pick up some standard finish ones and we can paint them.

Gas filler tube is machined as well and fits nicely, I will be in Fremont on Tuesday, we can meet up for lunch...

Sure, want to join us for lunch in Fremont? I "may" not need the shaft if I a welder can add length with another rod. Have a windshield frame header? Jason just got rid of alot of tub parts!

Dang my second rocker came out of the mold crappy, I was trying two layer fiberglass and didn't saturate the mold enough but at least the corner was filled this time (cabosil). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

I had the bumper almost finished but the right corner didn't quite match so I took the grinder to it...

Man I am going to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) after this project! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Sweet! Any chance of getting a radial "spun" pattern? See you Tues?

I'm taking Thur and Fri off to get it back together. Anyone in the Bay Area free to lend a hand would be appreciated...
