More fueling. Filter and lift pump. UPS lost the majority of my fittings so can't go much further yet.

Revisiting this post...just bought some headlamps on ebay. Kind of an impulse buy but hey. After looking recently I could find new HID assemblies for $590. But then you'd also have to buy all the light sockets and bulbs and covers and ballast etc. which add up. These are a set of used JDM...

C5 Z06 or better 996.1 GT3 1999 Porsche 911 GT3 This was looking for thirty seconds, they can be found at 40 if you look long enough.

I did look at IM awhile back but I haven't used them because they use a quote system instead of listing prices which is like an extra step for me (lazy and impatient I guess). I did check their prices on 1.5" DOM though when I made a purchase a couple months ago and midwest steel handily beat...

Nothing ground breaking here but this short article put a couple concepts together for me especially concerning Fuel pressure and injectors on forced induction systems and return vs returnless so I thought I'd share it... Fuel Pressure Explained

I agree that it sounds like a spun bearing however it could be anything and more likely something done recently like you say HB. Good/bad news is that bearing should show in oil so I agree, that is step one. Also if/when pulling plugs for inspection do a leak down while you're at it, could...

I also get all my metal from Onlinemetals.com. They have pretty good prices but I'm driving distance to the their warehouse (also aircraft spruce), so I save a ton that way. I've also saved a bunch by price matching there. I usually use midweststeelsupply.com for the prices to match (check...

Honestly I'm just trying to stay positive about the build and just trying to move forward and onto the next thing to eventually complete the car. Obviously this isn't what I expected when I jumped in (most builds aren't) but I look at that as partially my mistake because I didn't wait to see...

Is everyone sure about these GM performance crate engine warranty periods. I don't want to share missinformation but ive read elsewhere that unless gm's installing and/or it's going into a GM vehicle that already had that engine type, it changes the warranty period...Possibly to 30 days. That's...

One issue we ran into was finding a splined steering shaft that matched the eclipse (maybe 14mm but measured .555). Moot issue because our fuel tank interfered with the stock steering location. We needed to lengthen the intermediate shaft coming out of the firewall so we machined a slip joint...

Basically the finished product of the fuel cell mount. It bolts down around the top of the cell. Spent some time closing up the ends of the square tubing too. [/URL][/IMG]

Been trying to design radiator mounts and a fan shroud with the radiator provided by Superlite...probably should have started over with something that fit better, but I should have something soon. Made a couple of the brake line brackets. Just need to clean them up and make look nice...

Basicly the plan (to be duplicated to each side). Act like that G50 box is a G96.

It would be much easier if the G96-01 had that plate mount on top. Also the G50-50's have the housing transition very near the back of the transaxle so having rod arm attached there alone probably wouldn't be enough since it's only halfway up the gearbox on the G96...but as Randy said probably...

confirmed from the link I posted ...Its empty voids allow for too much transmission movement...Racecars utilize a solid metal mount...transfers extreme noise and vibration into the cabin... achieve the benefits of a solid mount while retaining daily drivability...slides in to fill and...

I agree on the solid mounting of the transaxle. Here's a similar setup on what I'd call a solid mount on a P4 replica with G96. I could be wrong about those inserts as I haven't researched this yet, but I thought those inserts possibly stiffened the transmission mount as it is inherently...

I plan to do something like this on my G96.01 in the Apex but probably with the addition of rod ends on the lower mount. I also have my engine and adapter solid mounted. Considering an aftermarket bushing between the bracket and transaxle. Such as this FUNCTION-FIRST > Transmission Mount Insert

You may want to google ffr forums and your question as there are considerably more of them who have installed the G96-01 and there are at least a couple of ways I've seen them mount it...just for ideas (didn't want to link, but its easily found).

I really appreciate the help and support. I've learned a lot from everyone here and we certainly wouldn't be where we are without leveraging everyone's knowledge on this site.

Little more work on the fuel cell. Wanted to make the cage removable in hindsight I wish we had just welded the cage in and save the hassle (or thought about the design more). But this will work. Would like to get the top done this weekend. Also designed this mount in fusion for my...
