G86.20 Boxster S 6 speed. With the AP design rear suspension, there are a few challenges but the biggest positive was the cost and gear ratios with the extra gear. The biggest negative is that the engine sits about another inch or so higher (the transaxle drain plug is the lowest point) as the oil pan is about an inch or so above the bottom frame rails. It will be mostly street driven and only on a track for an occasional/rare outing.Which transaxle are you using?
I don’t have a direct pic looking in/out of the bulkhead window. That air cleaner certainly fills the space without being too thick. Here’s a couple other pics from different angles and will get the direct shots after work today.Do you have a picture of what your air cleaner area is going to look like when the car is done and you are looking through the rear clam glass? I keep going back and forth between a MPFI 8-stack and a MPFI/carb set up. Your air cleaner may be the answer to the "WOW" factor needed.
Douglas…you think Aramid honeycomb panel would be better then? Is it paintable? I take it that a 3M panel bond adhesive would be best used to secure aluminum strips to use as a fastening surface/frame/tabs?I have only used the honeycomb panels, composite or metal cladded for false bulkheads and flooring in aircraft. Even the composite versions are heat tolerant and help with noticeable noise reduction. Sure the resins are much more expensive and specific to the application, but i believe it would help.
The metal sided ones though would most likely not help insulate but I believe would trasfer the heat more acting as a heat sink.
Aramid fiber is a good insulator of electricity and heat and is resistant to organic solvents, fuels, and lubricants.Douglas…you think Aramid honeycomb panel would be better then? Is it paintable?

Looks vaguely familiar...but I only have 451.Finally added Avex rivets to the panels and sealed with 3M 5200 Marine Adhesive yesterday. Approximately 550 pops later, she is ready to flip back over and continue with more panel making.
