Can anyone point me in the right direction to where I can find information on how to convert my 914 into a 916? not a 914/6 but a 916.
kits available? threads posted that I cant find? other websites I've missed? Is this even feasible or am I just being dumb? Thx |

Curious as to where this comparison of the wevo versus the factory style conversions came from. I am in the parts hoarding stage of my 3.6 915 build an the transmission conversion is one of the components I'm trying to gather as much information on. Thanks!
The WEVO kit for the 915 is better than the Factory or Velios ( Which kinda copied the 916) The Engine is the easy part. The Interior you could in Leather As Andy said the difference in the Bumpers are Huge. I used to have a Factory Rear - all the Repros just don't look the same The Metal Roof is the tough part, unless you have some fabrication skills like Dan root. Of course, you could buy the car that Dan did his Steel-Roof on (& I used to own) - it's in Vegas now |

I have a 3.6 with a 915 and I've had both the Vellios and WEVO. There is no comparison. I drove the Vellios for about a thousand miles, pulled the tranny and converted it again to WEVO. WEVO is the way to go. |
