Cirrus Rebirth - LS1 Powered

[AWDBOB]

Seems like such a fun build so far. When you want to sell it, I want to buy it.

Super quality build, noice.

So are you using the Vorschland motor mounts on this?

No, I made the motor mounts using some tube and urethane leaf spring bushings (similar to Vorshlag) I have some photos of them in my racecar thread somewhere.

Any updates?!

I haven't done much, other projects have been a priority. Tweaked the tuning a bit and played with the bias on the brakes. I did add 996 calipers out back with appropriate rotors to match.

I have a pile of parts accumulating so I need to get those other projects knocked out so I can get back on this!

FYI, this is with my custom headers down to 3" collectors. From there it drops to 2.5" to a Borla Turbo XL 400286 muffler. This muffler has an integral x-pipe. Continued the dual 2.5" to the back where there are 2 Magnaflow 10416 mufflers welded together.

Not sure if I am going to extend tips out or not, I kind of like it as is.

Sounds so good.

Haven't had much time to spend on the car but I've made small progress here and there. The euro smiley headlights are wired in, finally:



The exhaust is getting close to done. Still need to secure the rear mufflers (they are held up with tig wire at the moment) as well as weld the v-band clamps at the mid muffler - but it is getting close!


...and a little exhaust video.

Great work man. Haha do you ha e cameras in the shop. That would be some funny video footage.

Awesome build. wish I had fab skills like you, ive always wanted to make a brace out of the old tranny brace. Also So jealous of your brake set up. Mine blow.....On a side note though between the HD clutch and the crappy manual brakes my quads are jacked lol

[iflytii]

Thanks guys!

Greg, will get some pics of the ti build.

As for pedal feel, I haven't put any road miles on the car yet, only a few quick start/stops in the parking lot. I have not adjusted the bias yet and it feels like it might be favoring the rear a bit too much (backs locked up first). I also am not certain of the condition of the brake pads (something on the list to order) and I didn't drive enough to really even get them warmed up. All that said, the pedal isn't that bad and I suspect it will be better when everything is properly setup. I'll certainly give some more feedback once I am able to get the car out for a proper test.

This is just fantastic.......... really mpressive

i have one question ..the brake feel.. i really wanna do like this to my V12 swapp... as i am using oem 750 master etcetc so many oilpressure lines in the hood

how hard is it to push the pedal,, and is the brake effort good ??
