Just figur out how many circuits you need and buy a Painless wiring kit. Go on there site it will ask what stearling coloum ect. I use the universal looms. It’s easy to follow. Remember it’s only one wire at a time.

Great story & sounds hella fun.

GROAN — 

Glad that’s sorted, Jack. And yeah, sounds like the early stock gears, which work fine,

Sounds like a “Holley”, Jolly New year!

We used an old Bug Spray single port manifold that I had lying around.  It had no heat risers and I was a bit concerned about carb icing.  With the adaptation of the single port manifold (which we cut) to the dual port intake end pieces with the rubber boots and the upgrade to an alternator, there simply wasn’t enough space to put exhaust m…[Read more]

Great ingenuity, yes, but aren’t you worried about what heat from the engine will do to the plastic? Are you sure it won’t catch fire or melt?johnsimion2016-01-09 11:44:19

Great story on great ingenuity. I’m glad you two have the TDr’s to occupy your time. The rest of the world remains safe.

Warning! Do not try this at home. This modification upgrade (?) Was performed by untrained reckless amateurs with too much time on their hands. (Not to mention – too much coffee.)”Have Holley – Will travel.” (Paladin. Protector of the weak.)Royal2016-01-09 03:07:44

It really is a question that only you can answer. But, were it me, I’d steer clear of the Mustang. I drive my cars and hate (as in HATE) rust which is inevitable on the Ford as well as the Porsche [:-)]! And if you don’t think Porsche parts and repair are costly, make a few phone calls and ask how much to tune up a Boxster. Read and re-read…[Read more]

I also agree with the S2000, as well as a Miata, but (a), neither was on Greg’s list, and (b), neither would be feasible if Greg is much over 6′ (and my TDR would not work for me, either, if I couldn’t have lowered the seats and cranked the back waaaay back). Given Greg’s list, any Corvette sounds like both a good choice and a safe one, too.…[Read more]

Hey Ed,

[Read more]

my vote is the Honda S2000  ..

I only like one vette…the 63 Split rear window. Since its not on the list
then my vote is for the Boxster.

Ok here’s my vote. Even though I have a Cobra replica, I’m still pretty much a Chevy guy when it comes to vintage cars so I vote for the Corvette — no matter what year you choose. Also, for what it’s worth I have found that older Chevy parts are much more easily obtained and way cheaper that Ford parts. Plus I think the Corvette will hold it’s…[Read more]

Great crowd here. Greg asks us to vote on one of three cars.We ignore him and attempt to make his decision more difficult.Well played

Ha!Just noticed a typo in your initial post Greg. But it might not be wrong!Porache instead of Porsche. Pronounced “Poor Ache”Definition: The feeling Porsche owners have when they visit their service department!

This is akin to asking someone where the best pizza is. Or is thin crust better than deep dish? (The answer to the latter is yes, by the way! )That said…I’m with Ed on the Honda S2000. Honda reliability in a true sports car.I would consider going further up the Honda food chain. Step up to a used Acura NSX. One of the Speedster guys just sold…[Read more]

As a former Boxster owner, I could not recommend that car.  I bought into the hype and regretted it very much.  I think Porsche designs its cars for auto magazine testers who don’t have to actually live with them.  They have fantastic performance that does you absolutely no good except at the track, but they have lots of annoying issues, and th…[Read more]
