Paul good to see some progress ![Smiley](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) With gearbox mounted in car and stub axles in arms, I try to get them in a straight line so middle of stub axle is in line with middle on gearbox output then measure face to face where Cvs will bolt on, that is length I use as its at its shortest point cheers Richie

Hydraulic thrust bearing test setup. First I made a bracket to mount the bearing in the gearbox ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/140547.jpg) Setup an old master cylinder and tested the clutch. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/140548.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/140549.jpg) I miss the weight of the car and power of the engine, but it seems to work just fine. ![Cool](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Small step. it's on wheels again (only two for now) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/141136.jpg) Now it's on it's wheels I could adjust the height and found out that the coilovers where hitting the drive shafts. So back to the drawingboard:mad: ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/141137.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/141138.jpg) The fuel system is almost complete. this week I received the pumps, pumpbrackets and regulators. one set for the carb's and one set for the nitrous. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/141139.jpg) Paul.

Relocated the upper shockmounts. now the axles run free. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/141194.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/141195.jpg) Played with the camber adjusters on the rear. i am happy for now. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/141196.jpg) Difference before and after adjusting is around 2cm on the top side of the tire.

Hi Kev, Yes i have new plans. I will make new brackets for 12mm bolts and weld them in a higher position. also thinking of monoball instead of the urethane bushes like this; http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/911_monoball/911_monoball2.htmalso the outher uniballs will be welded in a lower position, this way the whole arm sits in a higher position. (it's like raising the complete rear)

What was the problem you had, incorrect geometry or clearance? Always a pain re-doing things but if it makes a better car at the end of it it's well worth it! ![Grin](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

It's a PITA doing it twice but i will do it over and over until i am satisfied.

Done some small things, but has to be done. *Made a stronger adjustable bracket for the rear suspension and bought 10,9 bolts and nuts to mount them. *Changed the Porsche 914 hubs from 4 to 6 bolts. *Made a bracket for the new throttle cable. *Made a throttle cable mount to the throttle pedal. *Pressure test the rear brakes (fail :-( ) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/142679.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/142680.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/142681.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/142682.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/142683.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/142684.jpg)

Made 2 driveshafts out of 4 VW Golf shafts. Yesterday I mounted the T1 and T2 CV's and fitted them on the car. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/142710.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/142708.jpg) ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/142707.jpg) Paul.

Nice progress ![Cool](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/cool.gif) On the chassis shots it looks like the rear coil over just has one tab supporting it on top? If so I would consider adding a second on other end of mounting bolt, I think just one will fatigue and maybe fail ![Shocked](http://cal-look.no/lounge/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) cheers Richie

It's bin a while but I'm still on it. After setting the stance I found out that the front shocks where too short. the new shocks are gas filled and a bit longer. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/143525.jpg) I want the camber on the frontwheels somewhere between 0 and -1deg. but the adjustment did not go further as -2deg. now I will modify the Porsche A-arms. I will narrow them a bit and replace the original balljoint with an adjustable uniball. ![](http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/143524.jpg)
