Been a lot of phone calls, etc and in fact I UPS'd my starter to them to verify fitment. My big issue was how in the hell I am going to mount a starter on the transaxle that doesn't hang way below the car (an inverted VW/Porsche bellhousing puts the starter at 6 o'clock on my car and means I would be dragging the solenoid on the ground).
Then they had this puppy left in stock - apparently they only made a couple of them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) just moves the starter to the other side of what I have. sssooooo, the sequential dog geared monster transaxle just might be a go for me!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Laid under the car last night to make sure it looks like it will work, and this thing might be "money"! He is going to take some pix with my starter installed today as a final verification - if it all looks good then "it's on". My current setup... notice starter should just move to the drivers side but remain parallel to ground I'm sorta gloating I know... but I have literally talked to them for 4 yrs now on and off waiting for them to get an LSD setup that I liked, etc etc and this trans apparently is using the same LSD style as the Vipers and so forth. Don't even ask price... OMFG am I gonna pay for this one for awhile (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) but will look like this smiley the whole time I am driving it (notice only pulls shifter in one direction, no mo' H crap) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) And got my new Excellence last night - the same day I got the pic above - and page 161 = Going Sequential (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) It's a sign from God hhahaha (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Well that Mendy should be the unbreakable link people are looking for.
After riding in a twin turbo V8 sand rail with 15 inch wide paddles, I am not sure what it would take to break it, but I know the sand drags, jumping, and wheelies didn't do it. That was in a big four seat rail too. I guess the only suggestion I could make would be to make sure you lift off the throttle when jumping your 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
