early April update,
TC Design finally received his hydraulic table and will work on the drivetrain mounts next week. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Then Jon and I will get our aluminum cooling pipes bent. Sent drawings to Marty for SEMA approval I found a local engineer/fabricator who can to work on my rear spoiler. Haven't received my Elise soft top from UK, anyone know how long Royal Mail takes? |

Royal Mail usually is usually really quick. I usually on order CD's though so I can only speculate for a top.

Hey Felix, I will probably be at SEMA this year too, we should try to hook up. I will have a couple of vehicles there as well. I think your car is going to really surprise alot of people. Mark |

Tony at TC Design has made great progress on mounting the drivetrain. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) He used the stock Boxster transmission mount bolted on a welded boxed section that will be tied to the shock mount. He also cut some of the rear firewall but much of it will be replaced once fitment is complete. The front motor mounts are about 8" rear of the bar and he plans to use the stock front snub motor mount to reduce radial engine motion. While the work is fantastic it unfortunately will be difficult to reproduce a simple conversion kit. If you ever need a spec track or street cage TC Design is arguably the best in SF Bay Area.

Progress at TC Design: the engine and transaxle mounts are done, sorry no closeups of the fine workmanship. The drivetrain is out so Tony can work on the front engine mount and fabricate an access panel for the back of the engine. The interesting thing is the drivetrain is designed asymetrical. The Boxster output flange sticks out on the left side and the other side is recessed. The Audi heads are slightly offset as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Not a problem just an observation...
The turbo outlets to downpipe are oval. Good thing I have the mating down pipe to modify... Attached image(s)

May was consumed by a couple surgeries (wife and Tony), more responsibilities at work (I'm told opportunities), and a daughter with more energy than mine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Other drama but nothing that needs to be stated.
I finally got the correct S4 wiring harness, this is how it looks like after a couple of hours of "organizing" it. I figured why risk differences in the A4 harness I previously found. Here's a thread on wiring. What's cool is I found another converter that is installing a 2.7tt into a VW truck. Here's his website More collaborative knowledge to help this project move forward! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) I installed the power steering pump pulley and found out Jason gutted his on his Boxster 914 so it could run "dry". It's now basically a bearing holder for the pulley. What's interesting to me is the designs are similar and I may be able to use the Boxster pump once I've adapted the Audi power steering column and rack that I also acquired. I know the Boxster pump is designed to pump the distance from a mid placed engine. This is phase 2 or 3 and a trip to Marks I'm sure. I discovered the Audi S4 pedal assembly is too long and tall so I'm back to the 993/6 assembly but with the Audi E-throttle. With the correct harness everything should work. I even got a tank level sensor that I "may" adapt later... Attached image(s)

I think the thing that truely sets your drawing apart is the windows...
If you have one piece glass made like that let me know, I will take a pair, but you will need to make a new guide to fit in the door to hold the front edge.... |

QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Jun 20 2006, 09:30 PM) Felix, I see 06 SEMA? Care to elaborate on this? Do you have a business now? B Brad, No biz yet but definitely a 3-D design portfolio. Check my threads. The plan started last year: QUOTE I'm here at the SEMA, found a business office PC... Wow..... Too much cool stuff, bling, T&A. Pics when I return. Met with Marty (Maltese Falcon) and planned for next year. neo914-6 will be the first 914 shown at SEMA and will be in the breezeway getting lots of traffic next to alot of ricers, customs, and rods. |
