  1. I want a wide selection of 13" street tires with modern construction.
  2. Front wheel bearings/bushings/ball joints, rear wheel bearings/bushings, half shafts, real brakes, interior, sound deadening, seals, paint & bodywork, ..., ..., ... That's just my warm up list
  3. Part 2: 2000 Vette fuel filter w/built-in fuel pressure regulator (runs @ 4 bar), and -6 adapters. Plumbed in... I'll probably add a heat shield below the filter. It's a lot quieter than my last triple isolated Walbro (rubber+rubber+low durometer plastic). I'd say it's about 25% louder than a stock Datsun EFI pump. At idle, you can't hear it from inside the car. From the outside, you can hear it while standing next to it, but not 8' away. With the engine off, pump on, the tank has a bit of a ring to it. Rubber isolation would probably have taken care of that. I still have my M3 to play with when the Z isn't demanding my attention. It's a fun car. Sometimes I wonder while I'm still playing with these old things.
  4. The filter is roughly 3/8" tall. It has framework inside to keep from collapsing. The springs are holding the pump down against the framework (of the filter). The purpose of the spring mounting is to reduce contact area in effort to reduce noise. I could have machined a clamp on bracket with a Viton isolator, but I'm hoping this is a little quieter. I've got a 50/50 chance.... either it is or it isn't
  5. Same place your shift key went. Please start posting with respect to our rules. 5. This site is based in the USA, and as such, text is to be written in English. There are web sites available on the web that can translate text from many recognized official languages to English, if you don't know it. (But then how could you read this? ) Gangster-slang, or any other cute, obtuse, street-talk dialects are not tolerated. Write in clear English that does not require a current knowledge of the latest street-slang. Text message or IM shorthand does not qualify as English. Always try to use proper punctuation, spelling AND capitalization.
  6. I don't *think* so. Can't prove it yet though As far as fuel entry, I'm way over sized compared to many OEM's. Take a look at the single small inlet in this BWM E36 sump (it's only about 1/2" tall)... If you start tearing apart factory cars, you'll see this is pretty common. One car I discovered that uses a similar principle is a Honda S2000... It's proportionally different, but it still makes use of the same method of trapping... four "C" shapes, aligned 90 degrees to each other, with a (nearly) full height corner inlet. It is at the bottom of the tank, flush with the floor. As far as "crazy low fuel", about the only way to run reliably with truly low fuel levels is by incorporating a surge tank or swirl pot. I just didn't want the complexity of two pumps and their plumbing. If I achieve modern OEM function and simplicity, I'll be happy.
  7. I decided to abandon the surge tank, and go with an in-tank pump/sump. Part 1: Bosch 044 pump, -8 filter sock, and check valve with -6 outlet. Return is also -6...
  8. That is largely the result of torque reaction. Live axle+geometry. Something an IRS car isn't able to make efficient use of.
  9. Many people have/do run the the N/A trans with no serious trouble.
  10. Thanks Ron. :) Sorry to be a pain.

  11. Dave, I'll get with you tonight when I get home.

  12. Ron, a big reason I'm chasing PM access is so I can ask someone to update my build thread's initial posts for me. All the pics are jacked from the transition. If you have time, could you shoot me an email so I can reply with the content for the posts? Thanks dude.

  13. Someone get this man a cigar. L-series head building has been covered pretty extensively. Snuggle up to the search engine. You'll find member BRAAP has contributed quite a lot of useful information.
  14. I can think of several Ferrari's I'd rather have.
  15. Nice homebrew on the clutch MC For clarification, are you saying the dimension illustrated below is 32cm?...
  16. Very cool. Between you and Kato, I just might have to put AUS on my itinerary
  17. Thanks Ron. :) Much obliged.

  18. Dave, I've asked SupeDan to help. Bare with us.

  19. Ron, I'm having some forum issues that I'd really appreciate some help with. Mainly I can't use my PMs (to send you a PM asking for help), says: [#10227] You are not allowed to use the private messaging system. Help. :D

  20. No worries, your post is more instructive anyway.
  21. That is normal. Yes. Yes, you should. It's not that tough, honest.
