I tried that without success, I also had the e stopp setup. I also tried repositioning the calipers for maximum grab on the rotor, the setup will work on a tiny slope but not on a significant slope. the Tesla calipers are night and day 100% better. I think my experience is quite common ...

Ben: My son and I went to the factory V build school at Motts college in Michigan and build a factory V cobra over a weekend class, he was 11 then, I told him that if he enjoyed the experience we would buy a kit, (not a Cobra which I don't like that much) . After much research we settled on the...

A little update and some helpful tips for future builders: It has been in the mid 100s in West Texas and have been driving quite a bit lately, I don't have oil coolers and my water temps are peaking at 206 with the A/C full blast and sitting in traffic, very happy about that . My advice is...

Kurt I was going through your posts and read about backing up. do you have a backup camera mounted close to the license plate? I have the main rear view camera on top of the roof and the side mirrors, both don't help at all judging distances and backing up, but my backup camera (right above...

Never had manual brakes before. I am slowly getting used to them . It certainly takes a lot more force , but feels to me you have a lot more control, but I have only been driving for a week. the manual steering can be tough on parking lots you just have to muscle through it , I don't see it as a...

Keith: Hang in there and never loose faith. I have had stage 4 cancer twice and I am fully recovered . There are crazy innovative therapies such as immunotherapy that are game changers. Wish you the best. And good luck with the sale of your beautiful car. Hector

So a couple of funny stories, I am slowly backing up of the garage and my wife is screaming the the car is smoking and smells really bad. It turned out the clutch was not releasing and the clutch pedal went to the floor. I decided to take a look and noticed a small leak on the hose fitting, took...

Agree wholeheartedly about the people, truly amazing bunch. you were the very first SLC owner I visited, it helped seeing what a finished SLC looked like. especially one well sorted out and track ready. I certainly got a bunch of great ideas from you that I implemented. You are always welcome...

Yes sensei , thanks for all your help !!! Hope to see you soon .

So a couple of weeks ago I signed up for a local car show, I sent a message to the organizer, a couple of hours later he contacted me and said he looked online to see what an SLC looked like and asked me if I was serious and I had one. And whether he could advertise about it :cool: So I made...

Thanks, and thanks for your help. I will stop by this summer

Thanks Joel

WOW Joel pretty cool stuff you have done , impressive , keep up the good work , I am glad I am done with all that so I am not tempted by your amazing mods.

finally the II much fuel vent can was attached using a cool bracket that I found, then the vent hose after the can goes to the outside on the floor in a protected area , I will take more detailed picture of the plumbing later . AAND is ready to hit the road, I will post tomorrow about my first...

Installing the seats and set belts required a lot of extra work, in order to meet the Schroth seat belt installation requirements I needed to grind a gap between the adjusting mechanism and the seat, then had to take the entire seat to the vise to bend the seat belt mounting bracket, because...

the filling fuel hose was no easy task either , needed two 90 degree bends , I used a plastic that is fuel safe, I attempted to use what was supposed to be flexible fuel hose but it was way too stiff for this use , I only used a little piece to connect to the tank. I also did not know that you...

I used aluminum plates to make a closeout panel of the hole between the spider and the floor,

while installing the front portion of the rear wheel covers, I realized that it rubbed against the fuel pressure gauge, luckily moving the gauge forward was super easy, just a couple of holes and a new mount location. I also attached the liner to the frame , which adds additional support to the...

I thought I caught a break on the rear wheel liners, I did not need to do a close out panel to access the rear tail lights , there is enough room underneath to access the mounting screws, and they fit perfectly upside down. however fine tuning and cutting the middle section took a while. there...

While trying to install the front wheel covers I realized that the pigtails for the headlights were sticking quite far and preventing the wheel covers form going in further which resulted a rubbing problem when the springs are compressed and with turning. So as Joel called it, I had to perform...
