It's probably because that was near where the last one sold on BaT. I think BaT is one of the better audiences for buying these kinds of cars, so if your car is worth more than that reserve, I would still go for it unless it's maybe bad seasonality for buying this kind of car. What did you end...

I have Tillett B4 seats in my car and I easily clear the rollbars with a helmet on. Formula-like layback.

I haven't worked with Kirk, but I can vouch for their support team. They have been really awesome in helping me. I've worked a lot with Paul St. Clair, so if you happen to reach him, you can name-drop me. :-)

Depends a little bit on what engine you're looking to run. Cylinders? DFI or not? I've been pretty happy with the AEM Infinity in my car. I call it an affordable Motec, but that's probably unfair to both platforms. If you're not racing, the AEM has plenty of configurability for the things you...

Late to the party here, but another option is the 3-piece Chrome Moly JMX/JFX series with a PTFE/teflon race from FK Rod Ends: https://www.rodendstore.com/rod-ends?manufacturer=71&rod_end_material=233&rod_end_race_material=241 You definitely want 3-piece Chrome Moly construction with a...

The Infinity-8 is $2,397.40. Totally agree to put all the choices out there. With AEM you can also get some pre-wired looms or universal loom kits that make life pretty easy.

Check out the AEM Infinity as well. It contains many of the expensive upgrades in a Motec for free out of the box, like traction control, launch control, etc.

Note that this is only the seat pads, not the seats themselves. $385 for a seat like this would be crazy cheap!

I wasn't going to respond to this thread, but you can assume how I feel about it. :shy: The rebuilt engine went in earlier this week and I'm hooking up all the plumbing, electrical, transmission, etc right now. Absolutely zero regrets on building the car with this engine. Thanks to the many...

Guys, Be careful here. The transmission bolt spacing of top two vs. the bottom two is slightly different on a G96/97 Porsche, perhaps the G50 as well (not sure). Which bolt pattern is supposedly the same? Is it: A) Cayman/Boxster and G96/97 in their stock OEM mounting? B) Cayman/Boxster...

Thanks for asking! I decided to rebuild the motor last summer shortly after I got it running. I thought it had major issues, but after pulling it, it turns out I had misplumbed a vent line. I was sucking a little bit of coolant into the intake - whoops. In the end it was probably good to rebuild...

Yes, the bell housing had to be modified since the bolt spacing is slightly different. Weld and re-drill. Other than that, the standard modifications such as a new oil drain plug were done by Gbox, including removing of the oil cooler. It just plumbs feed direct to return and should it ever...

No need to feel sorry! I've actually not had any big points of frustration. Hassle, sure that's the case from time to time, but for me this has all been a giant learning experience. I love learning by doing and don't mind digging around to find that little crucial piece of info, so it's all...

Luke - thanks for asking. Matt - thanks for putting the link in. I've been a bit distracted with new work opportunities, but I've been slowly rebuilding the engine. Turns out the issue was a coolant/air vent configuration issue that I'd screwed up and the engine actually wasn't...

I built my own wiring harness for my Porsche GT3-powered car. I did use the ISIS, but in some ways regret it. The power drain sucks, but moreover the constant ~2V going down each wire will cause a different electrical system to interpret it as a binary "on" when you didn't actually enable that...
