 Hi altogether, still not on our site (www.bugat5speed.de), but ready for market within the 1st quarter of 2010. 916 gearbox conversion parts. Conversion kit is very near to the OE Porsche 916 kit that was offered in small qty. in the 70s. Kit is with the original 916 OE repro sideshift, mechnical components inside and with a very short nosecone (even 5 mm shorter than OE parts 916). Usage of original exhaust systems is no problem. Complete kit for usage with electronic speedometer will be about 2.100 Euro for export (without VAT). With mechanical speedo drive it will be 2.225 Euro Freight cost to the US about 50 Euro. For more info (upload of pictures is limited here) please send me a PM or better mail to info@bugat5speed.de Martin Bott Bug @ 5-Speed Germany |

QUOTE(Nicke Nilsson @ Feb 6 2011, 08:45 AM)  What are the difference between this kit and the Wevo..??...(+ vs -) Martin's setup is pretty much a duplicate of the factory 916 Trans. Positive side versus Wevo -Better shifting, because the shift rod is shorter? Maybe, maybe not? -Allows use of stock mufflers -Worth more? The last "real" factory 916 trans on ebay sold for over $15k Negative side versus Wevo -More expensive and price varies based on the Euro vs USD. -No aftermarket shifting linkage that I know of, but I have heard that Patrick Motor Sports could make something up for you. Positive side for Wevo -Lots of good feedback. Shifts great, well designed and reliable. -Lower cost for kit -PMS makes all the parts including the shifting linkage for our cars. Negative side for Wevo -Trans is to long to use standard muffler. Requires either dual mufflers or extend your headers and use a skinny muffler like M&K. The above is my humble opinion from my own research. I have never driven either one of them. So take it for what its worth. |
