Thanks, but I should be good- the only gray pieces that I was really short for this phase was that I wanted to use two 2x6 plates (light bluish-gray, what they used for the stainless) for the back of...

Thanks! I ordered the parts I was missing to do this phase correctly a bit ago, and when they get in will probably tackle the engine cover & interior. I also ordered a few pieces to do some...

Since I've been a big LEGO fan since I was a young child, I unsurprisingly ordered the new BTTF Time Machine set as soon as it was released and put it together in pretty short order. The set is a...

Something else i'm going to have to consider that I'd not thought of earlier that was pointed out when I asked a related question elsewhere: if the Renesis makes most of its power at 3K RPM higher...

The most detail they give is that it was a 6-speed out of a '95 Carrera 2, according to Wiki that would be a G50/31 transaxle.

My original plan was to use a GM/Pontiac L67 supercharged 3.8L V6, and it may end up that I move back to that approach but I've not totally nailed down what I'm going to use yet. The Renesis was...

Thanks! I guess I probably need to either reconsider the engine choice, or find another more suitable transaxle for the project.

As part of the extensive work I'm planning to do on 16655 while I have to fix several really bad rust problems on the frame I'm planning on swapping in a different engine, and one of the top...

Thanks for the info on the leak- I was figuring that I would be going over everything with at least a layer of FlexSeal or something heftier (I have most of a tube of POR-15 Seal left over from...

Unfortunately I'm going to have to do at least some work with the center box since the screws that held the 'harness clamps' in place were seized solid and I had to grind the heads off of them (and...

So I'm finally getting into things with the laundry list of things 16655 needs done (which will include pulling the body off to do some long-overdue frame rust repairs). One of the first things I'm...

My work uses V5 R26 for modeling- I'm an analyst so I don't do nearly as much with it as our designers do (I can't draw stuff up in it from scratch worth half a cent) but am very good at manipulating...

OK, XI is a lot better, and I can actually use it on my Mac to boot (though going from Catia's navigation to XI's is a bit of a disconnect, but that happens between Catia & Patran as well...). The...

This is awesome! It's exactly what I was looking for- I can only imagine how much time it took to make this. It did take throwing fit over to my work computer that has a full version of Adobe to be...

I realize that this thread predates my marriage- but it's exactly what I was looking for, and was curious if anyone involved had made any further progress with measurements/modeling of the frame....

I definitely still want one when this is all finished up and more widely available (or if you make the plans & tools available, I'm certainly not above doing a lot of work).

I apologize for not...

I ended up getting a slide hammer from the auto parts store and using the FWD axle adapter under the shifter ball to break it loose. I'll have to remember to go out and operate the mechanism every...

That helps a bit- but unfortunately doesn't directly show what parts move to go into reverse, but I can kind of guess what is. At a minimum I know the pin has to go up...

It looks like it's moving properly- but I'll also admit I'm not seeing just what exactly moves (and how) when you pull up on the shifter to put it into reverse...

So, 16655 has sat for a little while since I really shouldn't be driving it until I fix the crumple tube rust problem. But, at the car show I had it at earlier this summer a Mom asked me if I could...

Very, very cool.

My car is going to be going down for a complete overhaul shortly- I have some serious frame rust to fix, and figure if I have to pull the body off the frame I'm doing ALL THE...

What did you do for engine control? Keep the stock ECM or go with a standalone? If you stuck with the stock ECM, did you need it reprogrammed to account for the smaller pulley? That's something I'm...

I was a DCS'12 as well, but haven't really been around or doing much with the car (besides driving it) since then. The car has behaved itself reasonably well- unfortunately with other projects I've...

Yeah, I've not yet figured out exactly how I'm going to handle keeping everything aligned when I go to put the new one in. There's a decent chance I'll be needing to build some jigs anyway though...

The cracked extension is just the most critical of the rust problems- there's a lot of other rust issues on the frame both in the front end (that large panel behind the extension on the bottom?...
