I did all the research on this a few months back. The 996 rear suspension complete with brakes and hubs is 3K. It would take flares to put it on the rear of a 914 because of the offset, but the front mounts for the suspension would end up really close to where the current mounting ears are for the trailing arms. The rear would end up close to the cross brace in the rear trunk that supports the transmission.
It's hard to tell exactly where things would fit, but it looks like it would be really cool. Now take that suspension, add a 996 front suspension by removing the wheel well s and replacing them with the 996 parts, a boxster 6 speed and cable shifter, and a VW W12 motor (500 HP, dry sumped, 12 cylinder engine that is no longer than a flat 6) and you get a 914 supercar. That's where Miles got the idea that I wanted to put 2 jetta motors in a 914. Just imagine the sound of a 12 cylinder engine coming from a 914!! Now if you really want to get radical, find the W16 that VW builds! Same motor with 4 more cylinders, and about 800HP. Can you say "chassis stiffining kit?" |
