The red cage needed to be removed. Then I had a very thin Tweezer for vinyl that I was able to disengage the clip, then pushed it out from the front using a piece of Tig filler wire. Put it all back together and it started right up.

Anyone Know about de-pining the Body side of the Engine harness? I've got a no start and it appears the culprit is in this connecter. Pin numbers are for reference and probably not the actual connector because I'm not sure of the numbering on this connector. But It goes Red-5 White-6 black-7 on the engine side and then on the body harness it goes to White-5 Red-6 Black-7 (Red and White have switched positions). Leading to Crank Signal being at ECU pin 7 instead of 12 (which is supposed to be a power ground), and Crank Return is at Pin 11 (correct) and Power Ground is at pin 11 instead of 7.

Indeed, I have driven all of the tracks at Summit, but not every layout. Only been on track there with a Porsche GT4.

Looks good keep up the updates.

My missing parts including roll cage and pick list are en route. I hope it has everything. Seeing some other threads where there was 1 missing radiator mount and I have the same issue. Probably best to be the lowest number in a group of cars coming over instead of the highest like mine was.

Engine went in. Amazing how little space there is in the transmission tunnel. I wish I leveled everything better before starting. Took a little over an hour.

Engine is waiting some free time to be dropped in.

So one thing I find to be daunting is the drilling of the steering wheel. I have come up with the following 3d model that should take some of the guess work out of it. Feel free to use it as you please. The hole at the center is 2mm and I used a small drill bit here to center on the divot in the back of the wheel. The holes for the drill bit are modeled as 6mm. I measured my bolts as 5.8mm This is designed around the felt wheel. The thinking being there is a pointer at 12 o'clock and then a flat on the bottom to align with the text of the wheel (assuming it is square). the gold is from my kid and the paint pens... steeringdrill11mmextension.stl

I've made some progress, Front suspension is on. We put the wheels on for fun ( I have a 5 year old ) I did the suspension while everything was very low to the ground and put it on jack stands after. Engine and Tranny are ready to be bolted together. Seats are just placed in the interior. Having a lot of fun so far ( even amongst the looking for the correct hardware for each step)

Optioned but not included at all. I have quite a few missing things, including a missing pick list which could explain a lot, but makes reconciling what is and isn't there even harder.

Oh man that color! looks great. Hope to meetup at some point

Summit, I haven't been this year but look forward to the build on this and going from there. Glad you guys got it unloaded so quick. I got about 5 minutes notice before he showed up so I was extremely short handed.

Thanks! its Series V with lowered floors Heat! Carbon seats 4 piston brakes track day cage shift lights map pockets

Just delivered this Morning before the driver headed up a little north to drop off another. edit: oops put this in the wrong spot. missed the dedicated build threads. Mods either delete or move please.

so uh what are you replacing it with?

You have an awesome garage. I bet some brits would be very jealous. I always get a giggle out of the areas they build in. Please provide some input on things your realized you needed but werent listed above. I'm awaiting a 420r
