and the cutout in the 916 bumper for the air inlet ... it's just a rough cut for now as i'm still waiting for some parts, including the actual cooler ...

what did you decide on routing your oillines?
I don't like running the lines going through the passenger compartment (with the possibility of turning the car into a frying pan) And I'm definately NOT going to cut holes in the outer longs (like on the factory GT's) |

Andyman, cool front end man. I have a thing for the GT front end and now covet those chubby fenders. I will deny the evil call of the saws all, no matter how much you tempt me with these porno pics and try to have at leasest one teaner to drive and another to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) away.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) If it weren't sexy, it woulden't be addicting and that 3.6 tickle spot is just evil. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) mark and i bounced a lot of ideas around, no matter what route you go, it's never *completely* satisfactory. every way to route the lines we could come up with had some shortcomings. the only way to get a perfect oil-line routing is to move the cooler to the rear or the engine to the front. both solutions are not very appealing to me ... so, i'm going to run the lines along the pass long *inside* the cabin. they'll be insulated and covered. that should do the trick ... i'll let you know how it turns out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Andy |

So, do you two have any more detail on that tank, yet? I'm leaning heavily towards the DWD tank and OEM-style oil lines (I think the DWD only has the OEM metric fittings), and having someone weld up the feed pipe under the oil cooler for the 30mm fitting.

James, what's your timeline? It's on order right now and so it should be in very soon and you can come see it in person. It should be a really slick setup for conversions.

I'm hoping to gather all the parts necessary by the end of the summer, so I'm not in a big hurry, just wondering.

more stuff got done ...
but first, let me show you one more reason why i think sandblasting your car is not a good idea: rear wheelbearing, made a nice crunchy noise when turned by hand (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)  now on to some progress ... new axles with brand new 944 CVs, on top is one of the old stock axles, on the bottom is the new axles, using early 911 hubs (~69-7?), later 911 stub axles (~75-7?), new 944 CVs, modified 914 axle shafts and later 911 output flanges (~75-7?). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)  and installed with the new (unbend) trailing arms, new koni adjustable shocks and mueller roller bearings. perfect fit, except i'll need a spacer for my big vented carrera rotors ...
