Well there has finally been some progress made on my car so I thought I would start a build thread about it for those who are interested. I'll try to keep it updated as I go along.
I'll start off with an introduction to the project for those who don't already know. I bought a 914 with a Sheridan Motorsports wide body in an E-bay auction. The car was being set up for a Porsche 6 to be used on the track. It came with the wide body, a 915 transmission (mag case) that was converted to side shifter with a Vellios kit and the ring and pinion had been flipped. The front suspension is supposed to be from a 911 - don't know the year yet - and the car has a brand new set of Kinesis rims that appear to be 17x12 in the back and 17x10 in the front. Also included were a set of new tires 315's in the back and 285's in the front. The previous owner also had put a front mount oil cooler and a somewhat poorly welded roll cage. Here are some pictures of the car: Attached image(s) |

Thanks! The axles do have two dowels and 4 bolts from the looks of it. I notice that on the transmission side that the output shafts don't match the axle though. The axles also appear to be too short. Are adapters needed? What are the options for this build in terms of what axles to use?
P.S. Nice car. Bet it really hauls. I would like a 930 tranny as well but since this one came with the car I thought I would use it. Plus the 930 is only a 4 speed and mucho dinero. If I had to upgrade I think I would consider a Mendeola box like the sand rail guys use. A sequential shifter would be really something too. In my dreams though....... |
