I know there may not be a lot of people on here who will be interested in this for their car, but it will be nice to have more options for people who want more power, and a modern shifting mid-engine transaxle. These pictures are of a 6 speed version, but the 5 speed will use the same adapter plate and flywheel.

Nothing is currently annoying me, not even DB.. That's because I expect this behavior from him and was absolutely awaiting the post he made since I saw the first posting of this thread. It's just what he does and that's fine by me.
I am perfectly happy! I can work on the property where I grew up, shoot my rifle or shotgun out my office window or go fishing at my pond that's 200 yards from my shop. I can work on whatever I want to whenever I want to do it all while working with a great group of employees. BTW My reference to doing it before DB wasn't talking about playing on the sand, but rather utilizing the Subaru engine to take the place of the VW engine. Nothing wrong with the Suby at all, some people might be surprised with what I have been working with as an addition over the past few years too:-) Those who come our way even for an enquiry are looking to us for a reason and that's not primarily the cost of admission. I do wish this project luck and might even do a few of the swaps myself, Blake and I had this idea two years ago but my goal was to support the M96 engine because I like Porsches and I like working with engines that were originally plagued with issues. There will always be a big enough following to purchase what we create at the low volumes that we want to service. Now, Lets stay on topic and don't hijack this thread. To the original poster: email me, I'd like to help you:-) This post has been edited by Jake Raby: Aug 14 2010, 03:14 AM |
