Wondering what other builders are doing to seal up this area? Was thinking of fabricating some close out panels in this area, but maybe there is a simpler solution…

I saw a video from David Mazzie who is building a 5 rotor SLC. He covered purchasing a high powered starter for his build and the same company makes a 2.2KW starter motor for the Graz. I’ve read in some instances the stock VW/Audi starter can struggle turning over a hot engine. Just figured I’d...

Starting to design my electrical system and main connections to the battery and have a couple questions. 1)Do you need a fuse between the Starter Motor and the battery? I’m referring to the large positive cable that goes from the battery to the starter motor and not the positive wire that goes...

I was reviewing some Graz notes and read that some of the GT-R Builders wound up using the supplied 3/4” Master Cylinders for the front and rear brakes and used the 7/8” for the Graz. The SLC manual recommends the 3/4” for the front brakes and transaxle and the 7/8” for the rear brakes. Since...

Hi, Just wanted to get some real world experience on the best approach to install the stock SLC fuel sender. The manual states to do the following: 1)Make sure the flange is clean and threads are good 2)Do not use any sealant on the cork gasket 3)Torque the screws in a cross pattern to no...

Looking for some guidance on this. I plan on buying studs and nuts to attach the LS7 style flanges with down pipes to the stock Exhaust manifolds. Wondering if using stainless hardware would make it easier to remove in the future. Are there any reasons not to use them? The stud size is M10. Thanks

Got a question for those familiar with Porsche 930 CV joint axles. I am about to install my axles in the SLC with a Graziano transaxle. I moved the engine/transaxle back about 1.5” in the chassis and just want to make sure the axles provided in the kit can still be used as is without adding...

Hi everyone, I’m getting ready to order the tubing for my SLC exhaust setup and see there are generally two thickness tubing that are available. I used 16 gauge stainless for the cooling tubes as was able to do a decent job welding that thickness myself. Wondering if there is any specific...

Thought some would appreciate a few MK1 and MK2 photos from the Super Performance booth at Barrett Jackson. Beautiful cars…

Hey Guys, Getting ready to install the Graziano and was just cross referencing the Slave Cylinder part numbers with Kurtiss’s Graz install doc and realized my Slave Cylinder looks to be the Audi part# for the R-Tronic version of the Graziano. Not sure if it makes a difference but wanted to...

I started looking for stereo options for the SLC. The two I had in mind were an Android Head Unit or the Alpine iLX-W650. I found this one from Pioneer, A modular design where you can use up to a 5ft Cable separating the head unit from the touch screen.The screen is 1” thick and 6.8” diagonal...

Hi everyone, I am finishing welding up the cooling tubes for the SLC and noticed one of the tubes is significantly more magnetic than the rest. Wondering if perhaps I received a steel tube by mistake. They have been in my basement for three years and haven’t rusted but they have been wrapped up...

Hi everyone, looking for recommendations for either a kit or components to add a sight tube to coolant and dry sump aluminum tanks. Thanks in advance! Joel

Hi everyone, I thought I would throw this question out there and see what other builders think. I am finalizing the rear cooling tube design and wondering if it would be prudent to incorporate an EWP as an auxiliary pump to the mechanical pump. After speaking with Davies Craig, you can...

Hi everyone, Looking to lay out the engine compartment and wondering what is the ideal size Header Tank. Also, given the correct size of header tank is an additional reservoir/recovery tank really necessary? Appreciate any help on this topic. Thanks, Joel

Wanted to share this link. You can order a Graziano clutch alignment tool directly from SnapOn. With shipping and tax it was $44. Much cheaper than the two I found on eBay. https://vw.snapon.com/SpecialToolsDetail.aspx?itemId=22230166

These did not work for me, but may work for your build. Two pair of Tillett TB2 seat brackets. They work for Tillett B5 seats. The mounting holes are 23cm apart. They are designed to work with the Tillett TR1 runners. Here is a link to the documentation…...

Hi, I am selling a brand new KOSO RXF multimeter gauge cluster. Will fit perfectly in the SLC driver binnacle. A great upgrade for any SLC already wired for the prior Gen KOSO. I am selling this since the engine I chose is not friendly for analog signals and everything needs to be scanned off...

Now that I invested many hours into modifying the stock seats. Looks like Tillet has come out with a larger version of the B5 called the B8. I couldn’t find exact dimensions yet, but this is something I may consider. Here is a link... https://www.tillett.co.uk/shop/exd-B8-GRP-Carbon.asp?id=901
