Wozers what a build!

I bet your car will be a perfect 50/50 weight distribution with the motor sitting that far back! Awesome work!

Great looking build. Definitely keeping up with this thread. The lines for the rack, do you mind sharing the sizes used. I'm looking for this info, due to my turbos being very close to the lines. I have looked all over and haven't made any headway. Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah that was odd. OEM is like M12x1.00. I had to order two parts. As soon as I get home ill look up my order history at summit racing and get you the two part numbers.

The first piece is an M12x1.0 adapter.
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/kti-04002/overview/

the second piece is M10x1.0 to -4 fitting.
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rus-640301/overview/

If you could find a single piece M12x1.0 to -4 or even 1/2"x20 to -4 *you could in theory retap your rack) but I could not find any such monster. Thats why I had to use two pieces which does make it extend further out than i would have preferred, but wish in one hand and poop in the other and see which one fills up first

NO programming on the Z, might do some tuning later, but that's just tweeking parameters (IMO). I program S7 all day, every day. If you need any PLC help in your future semesters just LMK

Thanks for the info Bryan!! Hopefully this will get the lines away from the turbo. I'll see if there is a such a monster on this side of town, or at least do some searing for it. I'll stick to the wishing part though.

Yea I hear you. I guess the programming would be more what makes it all work, not what you are inputting. Definitely man, I will reach out when I get to that point in my semesters!!! I really appreciate it.

Default Update 11 - 12/26/2013

Started working on the rear of the car today. Finished cutting out the hatch floor and rear subframe to make room for the ATL fuel cell and its cage.









LOL people were asking what the for sale signs were for, I hate making templates with Paper espcially big templates, so I use plasticore signs.



Transferred the template to some .125" aluminum















I'll add a sheet of kevlar behind that sheet for impact resilience. I want something between me and fuel cell, the accusump, and fire bottle. Hope to finish patching the rear sub frame and mounting the fuel cell in this weekend.
