no no no man.... Keep the pan LEVEL in the car. The problem with the Banzai mounts is they want to tweak the engine counter-clockwise as seen looking down the e-shaft from the front of the car and from looking down on the engine from the top of the car. The engine is in a position that is really counter-intuitive

Oh man. One day I'll read through all of this + your other build threads too. You're definitely my favorite builder that I've seen. Your car looks great. Keep up all the good work!

I've spent the last 3 days reading this (woulda been 2 if you had a secretary or a blackberry

...) Simply AMAZING!

Big fan of custom stuff, but w/o welding skills I'm somewhat limited. I had a pretty good idea what I wanted to do when I resto-mod my car but thanks to this, I might have to re-evaluate that plan....time to look into some welding classes....as soon as I finish these other classes.

jtbshaw · 09-30-2010, 01:58 PM

Good work, as always, B. If I'm not mistaken, you will have to raise the pinion to accomadate the shorter shaft. Of course, just as you mentioned, this is coming from years of building rock crawlers and 4x4s.

And, before you say it...I'll get a build thread up soon with my chit. Just been travelling a good bit with work yo.

I would really rec learning how to weld. I'm not sure classes are really needed though. I never took them. I was given a few quick lessons with a MIG welder when I was working as a mechanic. When I left that job and had some shit to weld up, I went to Sears and bought a welder. I literally burned that one up and finally bought a MillerMatic 175.

When I started the planning for this build I new that I wanted to do alot out of AL so I went out and bought the TIG welder. Plugged it in and went hog wild. I needed some help with that, no one I knew knows how to TIG so I bought a few books, did some research, spoke to a marine fabricator that we do some business with and stopped by his shop a few times and always re-directed the conversations... after that it was just practive practice practice.

Do it man, you won't regret it.

It's all sorts of wierd angles man. The tranny is longer, so the shaft is shorter..... it's bass ackwards from lifting a rig... or so I think. I dunno, I still need to get the digital angle finder out and get the data to send off to the driveshaft manifacturer.

Remember when we had that whole discussion about fuel pumps and noise? My friend with a full bridge 13b-re FC just primed his FULLY parallel twin Bosch 044 fuel system.

haahahha... you should be jealous, there was an S5 TII at this weekends auto-x. He was traveling most of the course in 1st bouncing the thing off the rev limiter while I pulled out of the gate and was in 2nd before the first turn and stayed there the entire time

It was epic... the ratios are fucking awesome!

No, he's keeping it but he does believe the loping will be drowned out by the pumps

Fast forward to 2:30 and 10:00

***TitaniumTT*** · 10-12-2010, 09:51 PM

I was hoping to get this for Johnson showing all 6 gears but instead all we get is a bunch of wind noise.... but we do see how fast we get through the first 3 gears. Rev limiter is still set a little low, top of 2nd is 57, top of 3rd is 75 I think? Either way

Nismo · 10-13-2010, 05:40 AM

Your car appears to be slow... What gives
