QUOTE(charliew @ Jan 14 2009, 10:36 AM)  Do you know about the suby to bus adapters from porscharu? There are some people getting together another order for them. They get a price break on ten sets or more. I have them and they are very nice. The bus is a larger diameter cv. I am going with 911 axle stubs and they are the same size as the bus cvs so it will be bus on both ends but you can use 914 on the outer by adding a thin washer type spacer from what I remember, the 914 cv is thinner. Paint fumes cloud my memory a little. I am glad you are going to a suby six, I really like the six sound better especially if it's spinning about 7k and there is all that wasted space in front of the four. Seems like I remember the 6 hangs down a lot more than the 4 though. I made a 8qt pan with parts from kennedy and used some swinging gates from a speedway sbc cheater kit for my suby 4 and it's only about 4.5 deep. I also modified the stainless header to be the same depth for the ground clearance. The six is a lot different though. Do you have a list of people that are getting together i contacted Porscharu about six months ago and expressed my interest and told him to let me know if there was gonna be another order but i have not heard anything since. And info your be awsome |

Well Im still plugging away at the car, the interior bracing is basically done, other than being welded up, well and other than the roll cage, but thats a whole other phase of the project. And now im working on the bracing that goes on the engine compartment rails. I already have the GT style kit that attaches to the rails in the rear fender wells, i just have to strip the under coating and weld them in. So ill be doing that as soon as i finish up in the engine compartment, which hopefully should be sometime in the next week.

Hey everyone sorry for no updates, but I haven't been able to work on my car in awhile. I had a wonderful opportunity come along to open up a second location of my business and I had to jump at it. But needless to say work on my car has suffered. I've been working 70-80 hours a week and 7 days a week. So juggling work and trying to spend what little time I get with my girlfriend. Thank goodness she is very understanding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif).
But the brunt of the work of setting up the shop is almost done and things will get back to normal soon enough. And as soon as I get my taxes back ill be buying the EZ30R Subie Six im putting in the car, so ill be sure to get some pics of that up soon. Stay Tuned There will be More to come soon. -Donny |

Happy for you that you have a growing business these days! Still, got any updates? Where are you sourcing the EZ30? Why not the EZ36?

I vote for an EZ36 too! I believe they are roughly the same size but, with more juice! Plus, I have heard of Crawford perfomance working on turbo bits for the EZ36 as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

From the research i've done the ez36 has offset rods on them and currently no one is making an aftermarket rods for it which they make for the ez30r. Which im gonna need since i dont plan on driving the car easy.

Finally got to work on the car a little bit this weekend, did some more welding on my chassis boxing plates. And got most of what was left of the rear floor cut out. I also found a radiator at the pomona swapmeet the other weekend, its nice and short so i can have it sit straight up in between the headlights, plus it already had a custom aluminum shroud on it with two fans, it fits almost perfect. Ill post some new pics soon. Things have been starting to get back to normal, not working quite as much now as the new shop has gotten busy enough to hire some help now, but i am still working 6 days a week.
But i promise a new update with pics will be soon |

Sorry for being so slow on updating on the progress, but my new shop has been taking up most of my time, im working like 12-14 hours a day six days a week, so i only have a few hour a week on sunday to work on the car. But i cant complain to much as i took a huge risk of opening up a new business in one of the worst economies ever, and well so far business is great and has exceeded my expectations. Anyways back to the car, I order the axle adapters from porcharu and ill hopefully be getting my engine in the next month or so. My source has a container coming in in about 3 weeks. So thats when the fun will really start.
So stay tuned more to come |

Well i have been making some progress on the car, last night i have up some mounts, to attach the body to my rotisserie so I have finish up some of my welding and clean everything up underneath of the car.
I should have my engine by the end of the month. And I found a set of exhaust flanges, Outfront motorsports had them in stock, they normally carry them in mild steel but they have an extra set of stainless steel in stock that they had done, both flanges shipped to my door were $59, and there 1/2" thick, i though they were a bargain. I have my exhaust kit on order, which is a set of assorted u-bends, and 90's and such so i can start fabing up my headers, But i have to get my collectors on order , and im gonna buy one turbo for now so i can fab everything(icant afford to buy both of them now. They are pretty pricey, they are the turbonetics GTK-350 ceramic ball bearing turbos. Ill post some pics of my flanges and the car on the rotisserie in the next day or so. Im making decent progress, and should get a bunch done over the next two weeks, the girlfriend is on vacation for two weeks, so I wont get yelled at to spend time with her instead of working on my car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

This should turn out to be a lot of fun. Sheetmetal work looks good so far, the welds look good.

Well here as promised, a little late the never are a few pictures.
Here is my new custom front and rear push bumpers, haha just kidding it's the mounts I made to go to my rotisserie (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/ForceFedGN/027.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/ForceFedGN/028.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/ForceFedGN/029.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/ForceFedGN/037.jpg) Heres a few more shot on my sheetmetal work of my chassis strenghtening and I just started installing my GT Kit, the rotisserie will be nice for finishing that. I finally got my dad's Isetta off of it, so my car should be on it in the next new days (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/ForceFedGN/030.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/ForceFedGN/031.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/ForceFedGN/038.jpg) These are my new header flanges I just got the other day from outfront motorsports, there 1/2" thick and stainless (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/ForceFedGN/032.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/ForceFedGN/033.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/ForceFedGN/034.jpg) |

Well im slowly making progress, here a few pics from a few weeks ago, i have got a few more things done since. Like made a few new pieces of my reinforcements, and this weekend i did a little sand blasting in the engine compartment to get rid of the rust. Im making progress slowly, but surely. Engine should be here in another couple of weeks, ill post some more pics soon.
Got it up on the rotisserie a couple of weeks ago, much easier to work on now, and made it way easier when i did some sandblasting this weekend (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/ForceFedGN/031-1.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/ForceFedGN/032-1.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/ForceFedGN/033-1.jpg) |
