Well, the car is finally on the road. The motor mount that we fabricated is a nice unit. I looked at all of the others, and I did not find anything that made me feel comfortable to use. Our is a full cradle, we relocated the turbo and intercooler. Fabricated our own exhaust (ceramic coated), re-engineered the factory wiring harness and it truely kicks some major bootie. We ran a 2005 997 carrera and shamed him...bad. He could not believe it. We are finishing up the details on this kit and they will be offering it soon. Be sure to look for us at the German Auto fest. We will be there with bells on! Look for the two 914s that have "Porsche Turbo" above the rockers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

For some, the cost of this kit seems too high, I personally think that it's reasonable for now. The various V8 kits have sold long enough that they're no longer re-couping the intial development time. For those people out there that would make their own, I suggest that they do it, but please don't copy someone else's design unless the developer say it's OK. There's a limited number of companies/individuals trying to develop new products for our cars, and if they take the time to work out the kinks on an idea/product and their work is ripped off, they'll drop out and move on to more profitable endevours.

There's not many people making an honest living on 914's, most cover other areas as well. We're most of their 914 customer base, and I for one, appreciate their commitment.

Just my $.02 Eric PS: I could have done my conversion cheaper than the RH full monty, but I get plenty of comments on how well it turned out. For me, money well spent. |
