Aaron's SL-C build...

[Aaron H.]

I also found this in my mailbox.. Flowmaster Hushpower II. The case is very compact, we shall see how it does on noise reduction.

I needed a muffler that would fit in the cramped passenger side with the Graziano. If you build an SL-C with a Graziano you will see how cramped it is.

I had the HP-2's on my last build (LS6 motor) they sounded good & are compact - almost like an old school sound.. for lack of a better description. They supposedly "support up to 400hp" for what that's worth.

Here's what they sound like: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfnv0qTdKlU[/ame]

What was the starter number that you installed? I have the same powetrain configuration.

 

[Aaron H.]

Clutch installed with M6x1x65 mm long 10.9 bolts.

 

[Aaron H.]

Starter.

I like the "Do not strike with Hammer". Though it should read "Do not strike with Hammer, this is not a Lucas Starter"

 

[Aaron H.]

I'm pretty busy building here. I'm building a Superlite in case you haven't noticed.

I'm working on many items at the same time in two different locations..

Recent updates...

1) Installed the Graziano transmission to the engine.
2) Temporarily installed the starter to the transmission.
3) Fabricated the sump plate for the fuel tank with the Fuel Safe check valves.
4) Modified the Sparco fuel filler neck to make it the same at the fuel tank. 2" diameter.

Installed the fuel tank to check for fitment and made sure that the fuel filter / regulator fits in my desired location. Confirmed AN fitting requirements for the fuel tank. Confirmed the carbon canister location next to the tank. Need to acquire a 5" diameter bracket for the carbon canister.

5) Modified the coolant overflow tank.
6) Modified my tow hook and cut out the hole in the body. Making a mounting bracket for the tow hook tomorrow.
7) Modified the Frankenstein parking brake creation...
8) Modified my steering wheel and install the NRG quick release hub.
9) Cutout the hole for the window wiper and installed the wiper blade to the wiper arm.
10) Confirmed that the wiper motor is setup for 110 deg. sweep motion.

This would be so much easier if I had more than a jigsaw, lol

Fabricated shock spacers and a new parking brake bracket.

 

[Aaron H.]

Shock spacers for rear shocks.

 

[Tony Eupizi]

Thanks for the starter number. I removed the black insulation from the transaxle using your method. What a pain in the a_ _ but it does look better with the race tail.

 

[Dave]

Fabricated shock spacers....

Could you elaborate?

 

[Aaron H.]

My chassis as delivered from RCR would not allow full shock travel in the bump direction. I optimized the suspension travel so that 2/3 of the shock travel in bump( from ride height) is available. The shock spacers were needed to change the shock location so that the bell crank arm didn't hit the chassis in full bump.

 

[Aaron H.]

Today I finally was able to install the roll bar. I completed the parking brake bracket and adjusted the parking brake cables. I installed the quick release hub and new steering wheel. I installed the shock spacers and started to install the fuel filler neck.

 

[Aaron H.]

Tomorrow I plan to finish installing the fuel filler neck and get some serious work done on the transmission mounting.

 

[Alex]

What are you doing on the transmission mounting? I tought you combo was a standard LS/Graz?

 

[Garry 20 B]

Will the horn work with your system?

 

[Aaron H.]

Garry:

I don't see why the horn wouldn't work.. As long as the ISIS is set up to accept a horn input and deliver a horn output. I've not gotten to wiring but most states require a horn so I would think that the ISIS is all set up.

I installed the housing for the rearward camera today. I also started prep on the clamshell body section.
