I'm working hard to complete this car for the Zone 1 48 hours driver's education event on June 23-25. Hopefully I'll be there and be able to meet some others from this forum. I worked on the ABS harness over the weekend and finished it. I had to replace the connector that attaches to the ABS pump itself and the 88pin main ABS ECU connector. I also depinned most of the other connectors to replace the gooey tape with Raychem DR25 heat shrink tubing. I ran new wires to the wheel speed sensors using Raychem screened and jacketed two wire conductor cable in 24ga to save weight. I also found the 4 wheel speed outputs from the ABS ECU which are now going to the MoTeC Dash to provide wheel speed information, and then back to the MoTeC ECU via the CAN bus for launch control, traction control, and pit speed. The ABS system has the pressure limitiers for the rear brakes removed, and I've installed a pressure switch to cut off the ABS in the event of a panic stop so you can push through the ABS and lock the wheels to spin the car (two feet in...).

The front trunk area is complete and you can see all of the wiring going to all of the sensors. On the right side are the brake pressure sensors to the MoTeC dash. The major wiring project left is to wire the 79pin autosport connector that plugs into the MoTeC Dash. Once this is complete, I can power up the car and all of the functions should work properly and I can begin to program the dash and ECU.

I finished the rear engine wire harness last week and plumbed all of the oil lines and welded up an oil breather tank/oil catch can. I have some cleanup of the vacuum lines, but in general the engine is complete.

Well done Geoffrey. Superb worksmanship, as usual. Couple of questions if I may:

a) The cute little box with the brass lock is, I presume, the battery cover?

b) The component at the front with the blue dongle on top. What's it do?

Geoffrey

The box in the middle is indeed the battery box for a lightweight dry cell battery.

The part in the front of the car is an air jack and the blue piece is an AN fitting going to the AN hard line to the cowl.

Do you have a hydraulic pressure accumulator?

Geoffrey

Yes, you should be able to see it in the second picture in the left corner by the shock reservoir and below the fuel cell.

Ah! There it is! Neat setup, as always.

You gotta' polish up that hydraulic pump so it looks like it belongs!

The car contenues to look better and better.The body work ,mech ,and paint all come together really great.The attention to even the smallest of details gives it a very pro look.Just look at the engine compartment,its factory leval work.Do you have an est of how many hours you've put in on her?

Geoffrey

yea, there are some things that don't look so good.

Well whatever its still a great looking Porscha.I know I have said it befor but the engine looks great.The indipendent throttle bodies and V-stackes gives it that wonderful carb look.Much better than the single unit most of us use.
