    Bell Crank setup questions

    I don't like my current coilover setup and thinking of converting to pushrod/cantilever. I'm focusing on the bell crank setup and running through my options on the bearings and mounting. I'm curious how the SLC is setup to start, and haven't found clear pics/explanation. I know there's an...

    Frank's KVA Build

    Not sure how effectively you could direct this inside the Horseshoe but I've used this in tubing and it works good. Use with whatever spray rust preventative you like. EASTWOOD NOZZLE

    Actually straight down is more of an issue (well I guess that depends on orientation). The halves need to slide together as there is a tongue/groove. I don't (plan to) have a pivot issue as I'm just lifting off the rear clam (for better or for worse).

    Yes, I'll take some pics when I'm back. Aerocatch has 2 "full-size" rectangular latches; one that is surfaced mounted and these which are recessed. These are certainly going to be the more difficult to install and get the right thickness of the recessed area. I think ultimately this will be...

    We just spent weeks trying to diagnose our frame and body fitment issues. I've had it with plumb bobs and lasers for sure. We definitely have a chassis squareness issues. Mounting the rear-end to the center section was a nightmare. Nothing fit and most everything had to be cut-off and...

    Pretty happy to have finally found the Aerocatch 3 latches at a decent price (it's the little things). Typically $280ish plus shipping (for 2) across the board here in US, but I picked up 4 for $240 even with $30 uk shipping from Demontweeks on Ebay. I was skeptical what was going to...

    Drip Rail material

    Looking for a place to source drip rail material to re-cover the rail with a rubber seal. Mcmaster didn't really have what was needed. Mitsubishi stopped producing this part. I would just strip and paint, but then you lose the length of the "wipers" on each side. There is a place in the UK...

    I cut out a vent hole. The idea is for the exhaust to be visible through here...sweeping up before wrapping around to the muffler/tips.

    I won't be able to move forward completing the exhaust without dealing with the body. Something I've been dreading since test fitting it several times. Every time we start on the body we move on to something else because we just have no clue how to make it fit.....But it must be done. I...

    Mark B's Build Thread

    Doors looks great. This might sound weird, but I saw on a nice build recently. Using mountain bike grips (high quality) for door pulls. All kinds of styles, just to give an idea.

    Started putting together a transaxle support. This is a G96.01. Still need to weld on the tabs and close the square tubing. I did tack in some round tubing inside the bolt holes also to prevent the "thin" walled square tubing from collapsing. Also I bought a powerflex gearbox bushing to...

    Got a solid chunk of the exhaust put together. I thought I'd be better at this lol. Compound angles are tricky. Pie cuts might actually be easier. Before they are completely welded up I'm going to sand blast them so I can Cerakote them. Picked up the benchtop blast cabinet at HF. Had...

    Made a bit of a miscalculation on the room I had to include a bend after the headers (because I added in the 2.5" to 3" cone transition). No biggie, just means I'm going to add the exhaust bellows further back at the x-pipe instead of directly behind the headers. I think that should be okay as...

    Oil Separator/PCV system

    Thanks for replies/photos!! Later saw they had an inline version for hose to hose on another page. Will go with that.

    Ran out of Argon so started working on the front body. Again not meant to be taken off, but I need access to brake/battery etc. So we cut a removable hood. I think we got really lucky with the placement of the radiator. Couldn't be tighter.

    Oil Separator/PCV system

    Do you have images or suggestions on plumbing the Wagner PCV into the LS valve cover?....I'm considering this on my Catch Can setup.

    Ambient Light Sensor/DTRL

    Guess I answered myself. Infinity Box diagram I'm not using Infinity Box but I guess shouldn't be an issue. May use the linked sensor instead of a factory one.

    Ambient Light Sensor/DTRL

    Has anybody used a factory Ambient Light Sensor yet to control switching from DTRL to Lights on (similar to light set to "auto" on column)? I know this is typically run by the BCM's in factory cars, but I can't see why the sensors can't be used to control this manually with PDM? I assume it's...

    LBC Build Log - Apex

    Basically been working on three things. I wanted to get the basics of the exhaust and intake routing done and start to attack some body work plans. The cheap headers will work. They weren't back purged, but that's no surprise for the cost. The primaries were 1 7/8" which I wanted but the...
