909/1000 Build thread

[jeverts]

Sunday Funday. Got my radiator mounts made. My measurements are a little off but nothing that I can't cut the pegs off and re-weld them won't take care of. Also got some mounting brackets done for the intercooler.

Not sure if sarcasm? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Sorry I was vague on that. I meant to say, the head side flange is flat across the top side.



not sarcasm, i have a problem where things i say and type always sounds like im being an asshole. its the new jersey in me. what you said made total sense and i immediately understood you. im also crazy jealous of the CNC machine you get to use and make parts with. i want to make a bunch of 1 of a kind sh*t for my car. loving the intercooler setup.

Thanks guys. I will be making a lot of billet parts, I don't want to take it to far. I will be powder coating the VC. As beautiful as the FF VCs are, its a little to much for me.

Making some more progress on 909

Had a guy at work fab me up a bracket to relocated the power steering.



I was also able to work on finishing up the intake manifold. Still have a little bit to go. I am hoping by this weekend I can finish it up.

There it is. 99% done. Just some tapped hole for the throttle cable and NPTs for the vac lines and its done.

That's sweet, how much $ do you think you spent on materials?

About $500 in materials. Which I splurge on getting MIC 6 instead of 6061. Probably would have been in the $300 range if I used 6061.

Thanks guys.

I am going to do the 5 lug conversion on my galant but not sure what hubs to get? The rock auto is a little confusing, or maybe I am looking at this wrong.

 

[transparentdsm]

Those all say rear but none look like rear. I have 5 lug front hubs and knuckles if your interested

 

[jeverts]

Do you need to the knuckles or can I just swap out the hubs?

 

[transparentdsm]

You can just swap out hubs.
