Towerdog's Indiana Street Goblin Build (#250) 07 SS/SC Donor

[Towerdog]

On a fan, if you flip the blade over it does not move air in the other direction. It just makes the fan less efficient.
Fan blades have a leading edge and trailing edge. If you want to make a fan a pusher you will need to reverse the polarity and flip the fan blade so that the leading edge hits the air first.

Thank you Lonny. That is what I did. I flipped the blade and will run it in reverse polarity so it pushes air from the top down to the ground. Making it a "pusher" fan instead of a puller.

We either use a fan or a duct kit. If we use a duct kit we move air in from the top out of the bottom.
If we use a fan we pull cool air from under the car. A pusher would pull hot air from the radiator and heat the heat exchanger.

So should the fan not be used with the duct kit?

Fan does not fit under duct....

 

[Rttoys]

Only if you are going to push it. The ram air and fan will fight each other, otherwise.

Where are you SC guys positioning your air filter?

So after hours of moving these around I finally think I have them where they work best. Where I really wanted them would not comply to Indiana laws. Don't love it but...

Can’t rivet the plate to the muffler?

I had thought about doing this for so long; glad to see I wasn't the only one.

I would had to mount a flood light somewhere to light it up. Indiana requires the plate to be lit and visible 500 ft away.
Plus I am going to eventually build a custom exhaust for it.

Wow, those Indiana State Troopers have some really good eye sight to require a plate to be visible at 175 yards away. I have to assume this open to interpretation and ambient lighting conditions.

Tucked down and away. I may make an air dam to direct cooler air to it, one day.

I know some places the po po can be pissy, but these work pretty well for lights and keep things simple.

Sorry fat fingered an extra zero in there, 50 feet for tag 500 feet for tail lights.

There’s a few different ones. Even ones with lights at the end that can be used as turn signals or brake lights.

Is it normal for the clutch pedal to stick out so far?

Is it normal for the clutch pedal to stick out so far?

Actually yes, but your brake pedal looks to be too far toward the front. Did you install the aluminum spacer between the brake booster and the forward face of the pedal box? If not, the master cylinder could be slightly depressed and may cause the brake bleeding and brake calipers not releasing syndrome that has been discussed several times on the forum in the past couple months.

The pedal box is the only thing attached and im holding the brake pedal where it will be when it is all the way out/against the switches.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Not sure what year the brake switch got changed from the old to new type, but there is discussion on the forum about the need to adjust/bend the mount to better position the brake pedal and avoid the partial depression syndrome.

This has been the hardest thing to do so far! It has curled in making it about 2" too narrow in the back..... a lot of clamps were involved.

Sometimes a heat gun - used judiciously - can soften up the resin a little bit and then allow it to air cool again may help.
