Ok gang, looking for some more feedback. I came up with two potential designs for the main fuse layout. I reviewed Kurtiss and Kurt’s schematics and read through everyone’s comments. Appreciate your thoughts on either approach. Option 2 is simpler and cheaper, Option one may provide better...

Merry Christmas everyone!

No worries Jim

Jim, Good looking intake. I can’t help you with the fuel system setup. My setup is very different. Lots of different configs people use. If you bought the RCR System I would shoot Bill an email and see what he recommends.

This post covers finishing up the fuel tank area. These are the items on the Fuel tank punch list... Fabricate side L-brackets for the front fuel tank close out panel Split the close out panel into two sections Make clearance holes for the fuel sender Make clearance hole for EVAP vent tube Cut...

Jeff, To Scott’s point you could get a 1/2 gallon tank and tuck that in the passenger footwell. It’s about 6”x6”x7”. Stanceparts also makes a higher capacity pump to be used w/o a tank. If you read the Stanceparts FAQ, the system is not designed to drive while the suspension is raised. It’s...

BTW, where in NY are you? I’m in central Jersey.

Congrats on receiving your kit Jeff! That’s an interesting mod of the front roll hoop, best to check with Bill on the purpose behind the mod.

Hi Jim, Here is the link to the ballast brackets… https://www.southwestspeed.com/?sec=view_menu&cat=Suspension&sub=Mounts%20and%20Brackets&ssub=Clamp%20Brackets&sssub=Aluminum,%20!For%20Square%20Tubing As far as the throttle body reversing elbow. Here are a few comments… 1)If you could...

Now that the shifter is located, time to finalize the routing of the shifter cables. As supplied, the shifter cables are 93” & 91” long. Due to the extra length, some builders route the cables up and over the exhaust system, around the frame and then through the fuel tank conduit… Here is a...

Ryan, the console is the one supplied with the interior tub. It was designed to fit the original shifter which is very narrow. The new shifter is designed to be offset. I believe the reason for that is only one side of the console will need to be modified to accommodate the new wider shifter...

Time to start applying the sound dampening and interior heat and sound barrier. This post covers applying these products to the fuel tank area. The same process will be used on the rest of the chassis. Here is a video on the process… The general approach is to drill all the mounting holes in...

Jeff, Here is a link to the FE which is DOT and has the optional sub belt. https://www.northstarmotorsports.com/products/sfID1/Car/sfID2/Harnesses+-+Mounts+-+Restraints/sfID3/Tuning+Harnesses/manufacturer/Schroth/productID/8461

This post covers sealing up the fuel tank close out panels and chassis seams. The main purpose is to reduce engine noise and keep rain, heat, and fumes out of the cabin and fuel tank area. Here is a short video on the process… I decided to use polyurethane chassis sealer. The general approach...

You can simply move the shifter mechanism by hand. You can locate neutral by inserting the proper size drill blank through the linkage and into a locating hole on the trans case. I used a transfer punch like this and the transaxle will be in neutral. I don’t think mine was in neutral and wasn’t...

Good news. That does make sense. I attached my adapter to the engine first then the engine to the front and rear engine mounts. It’s possible the transaxle adapter is tightened up to the rear engine mounts and does not aligned to the engine.

My guess is they came from the Drive Shaft Shop. https://driveshaftshop.com/ Ask for Tad, he is the axle expert.

Jim, Just to be clear, in my opinion you have the wrong adapter plate. It needs to attach precisely. There is maybe a few thousands of an inch tolerance and your holes are way off. Definitely speak to RCR on why the holes don’t line up.

Well the pilot bearing should press into the flywheel and center itself. If it is a slip fit or loose fit that is not ideal. It should take some amount of pressure to install. You need a clutch alignment tool to center the clutch to the pilot bearing. This is the tool I purchased for the...
