    Rear Frame Rails

    Hi Guys, It has been way too long and I hope everyone is well. I am finally using my SolidWorks 3D software to help me with my S3. I am almost finished designing up the model of the Rear Frame Rails so that they can cut them with the CNC. I hope to make this as easy as possible to fabricate...

    Overdrive Gear Box

    It is hard to show but the right side of the splined shaft looks worn and miss-shaped. It may be just near the end part of the shaft. I will remove and inspect the tail shaft this weekend.

    Sounds good, I will give it a go and report back. Probably will not get to things again until next week.

    How gentle? She seems to be really fixed on there. Tap up trying to lift housing? Is it ok to try and open it at the seam (at the location of the balancing pipe) or should I drop down to the lower part of the housing in line with the Solinoid?

    The tail stock looks to have about 6 7/16 nuts holding it on. Is it just a matter of removing the nuts and loosening off the balancing pipe?

    Well I guess this hoser is “Hosed” as stated above! This is the trans and this is how I have been hosed. Would this happen due to miss alignment or unbalanced prop shaft? I guess an overdrive is not in the cards after all of this. Thanks guys.

    I think I have found a problem with the SI trans. The rear spline looks worn on one side. Can our guys tell me what you think. Should or can it be replaced?

    This is a S3 and I am looking to install a complete SI Tran with Overdrive. Looking at my relay and the wiring diagram, I don’t see a warning light noted. The S3 & SIV I believe are wired dirrerently and show a warning light. I wonder if it is possible to include a warning light in the SI...

    Hi Tom, Is there any problem incorporating a warning light with the SI OD setup? I see the S3-SV had quite a different setup (wiring) and it used a warning light on the dash. Thanks, Andrew

    Reverse light

    Looking to make them work with the shrouds similar to the originals. They will be a little different using these lamps as shown above but they should look good on the car. I will need to see how a sample comes out before I go ahead and make two of them. I will make them out of stainless. Do...
