Diep pannetje zeg! Ik zou zeggen, andere pan maken die minder diep is maar net zo veel inhoud heeft door een gelijkmatigere vorm en dan dat blok een stuk lager in het frame hangen. Gek idee?
Wordt dry sump, deze pan gaat naar Pace toe in de UK en wordt verbouwd tot dry sump pan, scheelt meer dan de helft in hoogte..
de volledige oem diepte behouden is ongunstig tov de positie van de aandrijfassen..
Received the Alternator/front motormount bracket today, testfitted and mounted it together with a new NSX alternator and a cleaned bracket.
Also received the adapter plate machined by Kennedy Egineered Products!! damn the plate and flywheel are truly a work of art! Compliments to them. Visited them in person in Palmdale CA when I was over there in November for my work, and was really impressed by what they make/do......naturally ordered the plate etc but was happy I went there, it was never done before apparently...
So all went well and received it today.... will testfit it tomorrow and begin fabrication of the side motormounts..
Started fitting the adapterplate, first not to damage anything, I retapped all the threads:
Then inserted the alignment pegs:
And then the plate went over it like a glove:
Fitted the flywheel roughly, since there is no crank to mount it to:
And just to try and fit the plate to a new nsx flywheel side transmission casing, fits like a glove, here you can see the plate is machined for the nsx since aligning it with the legend block gives a few minor differences and on the transmission housing, it is a solid match...
Started today with the modification of the rear trailing arms, they needed to be shortened. First started by determining how much they should be shortened. The easiest way that came to mind was by using a weighted rope that was in the normal trailing arms center position. Any other way of measuring gave me the trouble of finding a straight line to determine the amount. The trailing arms have virtually no flat surfaces and there is too much difference between the awd arms and the stock arms. So the old fashioned rope it is!
first mounted a stock civic trainling arm and determined dead center, marked and fastened the rope. Then mounted the awd trailing arm and measured at the bearing center, the upper rear control arm and the lower rear control arm and found out that 36mm was the correct amount to be removed.
Then figured out the best position to cut the arm and went ahead. tacked it back together and rechecked...looked ok to me. welded it fully and then started to box in the rear part of the arm. The front gets it's treatment later this week, still not fully sure how I'm going to do the front...it still needs some thought....
