Woo hoo, the tires are in. With careful shopping and catching a sale combined with a coupon got all 4 for $511.80


The tires are Nitto NT555 fronts are 255/40/17. The rears are 315/35/17. Can't wait to see them mounted...
LOL, Drifter just had to check them out.

I haven't posted on the forum in a loooooong time, but a build like this is enough for me to come out of hibernation! Good luck with it & post lots of pictures!

Good to see you are still with us Doc! Do you still have your car or have you moved onto something else?

Hey Joe.

I designed and machined an adapter to go from Northstar to Porsche 901 transaxle. I drew it up in SolidWorks, cut in on the water jet and machined the register in a lathe. Is there an adapter out there to go LS1 to Boxster? If not, perhaps I can give you a hand.

Guys, thanks for the comments, Doc John, I remember your name back when I had just joined, I'm honored that this build could bring you out of "hibernation".

Shane, got your PM, There are parts available, Renegade Hybrids has a "kit" and is very proud of it, They don't have any pics of the parts but do have vids of running cars, I assume they are worried about people cloning their parts, There is another one that I have gotten pics of the adapter and flywheel. very crude machine work and as far as I can tell the adapter is about 2" thick!!! I already have a plan in motion regarding the adapter, it's going to be a modification of some existing parts, more info when the parts arrive.

Cheers Beers n Gearz. Joe

Tires and wheels are mounted.



While I would have liked more positive offset, I would have had to spend several times what I did for these wheels, I can live with having to make some spacers to get the track width I need.
