Thanks Will, I understand some of the challenges I will face with this build and the wiring is certainly one of them. This is why I felt that utilizing the ECU, engine and instrument cluster from the original donor C5 might make things somewhat easier? If the Painless wiring harness can be...

Greetings from Ontario, Canada. I'm installing an LS6 engine from an 02 Z06 in my project. I plan to use a custom wiring harness (Painless) and have been considering the use of the instrument cluster from a C6 instead of the C5. Can you tell me if, A) I will encounter any issues with...

Anyone using an LS series engine care to suggest or provide input as to what I should be looking for in choosing a rad? Thanks, Mike

Greetings from Ontario, Canada. I'm in the very early stages of my build and need opinions regarding which rad to use. I'm using an LS6 engine from a 2002 Z06 and wonder if anyone has used the Griffin rad in a similar application. The rad I'm looking at is 13" X 22" X 3", I believe it's a...

Would be nice to see your car, keep in touch and we can arrange a get together. Regards, Mike Yes indeed, thank you for the suggestion. Regards, Mike

Thanks once again for all the input fellows. I'm looking forward to giving this a try. I will test blast the mounting bracket first to identify what will net the best look but it sounds like glass bead (80-120) grit starting with 60 and working up, if necessary, to 80 or so PSI. I will vary the...

Thanks very much for your input, from most of the research I've done it appears that glass beads have been the method with the most positive results but hearing first hand results is more assuring. Gordy, this is a nice looking result you achieved, can you share with me what you used to...

Thanks Cliff, I will do more research regarding walnut shells and silica, hopefully others with experience doing this will chime in. Mike

I have a Boxster S transaxle which appears to be fairly oxidized. I would like to make it look nice and clean but not too shiny before installing, not looking for mirror like finish. I have tried various methods for achieving the look I want and found the best outcome so far has been using a...

Hi John, my priority isn't really quickness, with 400hp in a car weighing approximately 2500 lbs quickness should be satisfactory? I'm looking for comfort and drive-ability, my trans is the Boxster S 6 speed so it should provide, as Eric has indicated, a bit taller 6th which hopefully will be...

Thanks Eric, just waiting for kit to be delivered, expected Monday March 3, 2014. Mike Mike, First is pretty low but with 6 gears you can just not use first for the most part. It is good for loading on a trailer or pulling into parking spaces or a garage. Sixth could be taller for...

I too am about to face this potential issue with my project. I will be using an LS6 motor out if a 02 Z06 with a Boxster S (G86-20 transaxle) and wonder about drivability with this setup. Have you made a decision regarding which setup you will use and which if any modifications to gearing you...

Thank you Fran, I had a nice conversation with you approximately 2 years ago. At that time we discussed a fellow from the East Coast who was using your design as I recall under his own brand. You were very helpful and that stayed with me. Shortly after that conversation I began my own car...

Happy Easter, The renderings of the Superlite GTA look very nice, the clay model images remind me of a project I've been working on for some time. Looking forward to more details. Brock

Greetings from Ontario, I'm a recent addition... Welcome and best wishes on your project. Mike
