Well since I was in the tinkering mood, I decided to get out the sheet metal brake to make a heat shield to go in between the intake and the turbo/down-pipe out of some thin aluminum. I will be using some self adhesive heat shielding plates to put on the "hot" side of the shield. This is what I thinking in terms of the heat shielding....

Nice sev dude. You gonna paint the flares or leave them black?
You should try and get it sitting a bit lower that would look sick! How much clearence do you have with the inside of those wheels and the springs/shocks? |
Thanks,
For now I am just going to paint them satin black however I do have enough paint to color match them, I just do want to do it now. The ride height is going to be a bit lower, I had them raised up because last time I set them it was for getting traction. Its also sitting a little higher because the 3rd gen tranny is out of the car. |

Got it running again with the new transmission, and also lowered the car to sit better.

Thanks! I will try and get some interstate vids up, I keep on forgetting to bring my camera.
I went to APE and had a tip welded on to deflect some of the exhaust off of my bumper. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...exhaust002.jpg |
very nice, good job sir!
|
More pictures please!
|
nice race car:)
|
what about a turbo "beanie" and wrapping that downpipe as well? I did that to my brother's 79 and made a world of difference
|
I have already wrapped the down pipe, however I don't want to put a "beanie" on the turbo because it is only oiled cooled.
Here are a couple pics of the fender cutting/welding, boost controller installed, and the down-pipe wrap. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../flares009.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../flares011.jpg Fenders after cutting/slotting http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../flares003.jpg Spot welding http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../flares004.jpg Seam sealed after painting (after the sealer dried I painted the area again) http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../flares006.jpg |
Fing AWSOME!! i may have missed it, but whats the purpose of the car? jusfor fun or purpose built? also, how well did the ZG flares fit? did you just manipulate them with a heat gun? do you have any close up pics of the bolts you used to mount them?
im so jealous |
where's the radio?
|
The fender flares are looking o' so sweet......This is turning out really nice.
|
looking really sweet there .. don't know how i've missed this thread before
|
This is an awesome build up thread. I hope to apply some of the aspects of this project that you have done to your beautiful A body to my FC. Excellent work! Great taste aswell.
