Some updates with 647.

I've been on the road so much for work the last month, and also for family stuff, that is has been hard to work on the car. I did progress on the car pretty well tho.

I have one more electrical hookup that I need to connect the EFI system to the car's wiring harness (thanks Mark!). Other then that, the electrical system "should" be ready to go. I hooked things back up recently and so far to looks like I didn't mess things up too bad, fan works, fuel pump is good, lights work, etc...

All the fuel lines are hooked up, and I tested out the fuel pump. Holy crap that thing has some pressure. The only problem with all that is that I hooked up the return on the intake, and the intake on the return side, all this on the engine. Oh well. I checked several times but not enough I guess. It is an easy fix, but I'm waiting for an AN fitting from Summit to fix this mess.

I got the 24" Cobrapacks from Classis Chambered. Great craftmanship on these pipes. They look good. I ordered there transition pieces too. I have been following the instructions from their site on cutting and welding the transitions in as to make a funnel for the flow from the collector to the mufflers. I'm waiting on a piece of 4" pipe so I can connect the collectors to the cobrapacks. I'll weld up everything then ceramic coat the whole system, flat black.





The one on the left has the "funnel" finished. The one on the right needs to be cut.It is annoying how the self shielding wire splatters like that. I need to get my bottle refilled.


I got the dash mostly finished up. I just need to install the various switches once it is on the car. It looks really nice. We choose Porsche brown leather from Europe. It has a deep color. The seats are covered in the same leather (should get those soon, shaving off some foam off the cushion), and the carpet will be the same brown tone, but darker. Should look good.







I need to hook up my garage heater as it is starting to get chilly now

Didn't want to pay 2+ grand for pipes that 1) were going to be ceramic coated black (it is a shame to coat stainless when you can polish them), and 2) these pipes with the cobrapacks will end up being less then $600, that is coated and all....

Great idea, are there any other cost savers, if there are would you pm me, I like the idea of powder coating them instead of paint, im going black pipes also.

Right side is done, minus cleaning it up and making it look nice.

Working on the left side right now but one of the header tubes is hitting the set screw of the steering column joint. Gotta fix that.
