I decided to make a video showing how loud these things actually are. Key takeaways for me were: The discs make a bigger difference in idle sound reduction than running 2 of the baffles. Also I feel that full throttle is the same no matter how you have them. Open headers yielded the same decibel...

Hi Trevor. I didn’t have any drawings of the one I made. I basically made one out of cardboard and then transferred it to a stainless bar to cut it out. Sean.

Hi Vinny The inserts are Spiral Turbo Baffles. There are 2 places you can buy them. First is from their website, but he only takes checks. https://www.spiralturbobaffles.com/ The Second place is his son in laws site Dynamic Exhaust Systems, you can pay with CC or PayPal with him...

I’ve finalized the shifter, everything seems to work well and it’s all under the car now. I’m going to take the shifter handle its self apart to see if I can tighten it up. There is a bit of play in that assembly I don’t like.

I have a good design for the part of the shifter that moves it in and out. The bar across the top of the transaxle it mounts to will also serve as a support for the exhaust pipes. I’m very happy with how things are working thus far. The shifter shaft is entirely under the clamshell now, and the...

I have successfully shortened the shaft. I didn’t have too much of an issue drilling or tapping the hole, although my tap did lose a couple teeth in the process. I did drill the hole slightly larger with a J bit to help tap the hole. I’m playing with a couple designs for the shift cables to...

Thanks Brian. I’m actually not sure what type of taps I have. It’s a snap on set, but I’m sure they would say if they were taper taps. I know they aren’t the blind hole taps. If I have some issues with them I will take your advice on getting the taper taps. thanks Sean

Thanks Randy. Great advice as always. I made the cut with a 28TPI blade. I was surprised to see sparks flying off the blade. :eek: I Am going to try your advise by tapping the off cut first to see what I am getting into.

I got the shortened nose cone for the transaxle back today. Everything looks and worked out great. It is now 4 1/4” shorter. I still need to shorten the shifter shaft to match it, but I’m happy with how it has worked out. Not much left to go for a test drive. :cool:

Made the first car parts with the CNC plasma cutter. They came out great. This is going to be on the firewall below the window to fill the gap between the firewall and the rear clamshell. I still need to weld it out, but I think I got a good concept.

I took some pictures to show better details of the trans axle support bracket.

Im running an inverted Porsche G50/52. Pictures are pre shifter and nose cone shortening. I have the nose cone at the machine shop now and can share pictures when it is completed. it should end up about 4" shorter once complete. Several other Porsche trans-axles will work and are shorter, the...

I thought I would share this with the group. After alot of searching, I found a website with great Porsche parts diagrams. I was able to order the right parts for my G50/52 to replace the items for shortening the shifter shaft. They seem to have breakdowns on everything Porsche...

It’s been close to a month since I have been able to work on the car, today was the first day back home and I made a lot of progress. I still need to weld out the brackets, but I’m glad the rear transmission support is completed. I followed pretty closely how Randy did his. I needed to use the...

Hi Nick I haven’t had time to research them yet. But I will definitely post what I figure out. Please let me know if you find something as well. Sean

Hi Vinny, I found 1/2" ID and 3/4" OD at the local Ace Hardware. Just needed to drill out the hinge to 3/4" and then cut them off flush once pressed into the hinge as 1/2" long was the shortest I could find.. Regards, Sean

Just received my hartwell latches and window vent hardware from RCR. Very well made items for sure!

I looked at the Arduino boards and using Mach3, but I didn't like the limitations on the windows software..... Windows8/ XP/ etc. The board I got uses CNC USB and is compatible with Windows 10. For the first cuts I made to ensure it all worked, I typed the G-code and M-code myself. I...

Very nice. I wish I had room for a larger table like that! I have the items needed to add a Z-Axis to mine. I was thinking it would be nice to mount my router to it and play. Might be a fun summer project. Sean
