That's awesome! Your liucy you bought it when you did... I was in contact with him also... You beat me to it. Keep us posted on the progress.

When his ad came out the first time, he did not post any pics but I had contacted him anyway. We talked about me coming that weekend, even got pics, then I got real sick, H1N1 and life literally stopped for me for two weeks. When I was feeling better, I just assumed the car was sold, but then I saw he re-posted....and the rest was history. I still can't believe this car sat there for two weeks while I was sick without someone sealing the deal.

I guess it was just meant to be yours. I think it's really a special car. That looks like a speedo cable going up over the top of the tranny under the fill tube by the motor to tranny seam but I don't see it near the rear anywhere. See if it's under the dash or pop the speedo out a little. I find it hard to believe a older lady could get by with the tach for the speed.

My friend says he knows of a flared 914 thats been in storage a long time at a old hot rodders place but I really don't have a place for another project and I might have to promise not to change it up.

It might even be possible to put the Audi 5000 manual transmission in a 914.
Sounds like the internals are 915
Interesting read, more uses for the Audi 5000 manuel transmission claims it can handle 450 + horsepower.

I'm guessing it's similar to the use of 2WD to AWD subaru transmissions. The 2WD trans you don't have to worry about blocking/disabling the the other drive portion of the trans. While the AWD trans you have to purchase a kit to disable and block off the rear drive section of the trans.

What i meant was the 944 trans is located at the rear of the car w/ a driveshaft coming from the front of the car from the engine. While the Audi 5000 version is attached to the engine (like the 914) and there's no messing w/ blocking off the input hole for the driveshaft.

The 944 trans doesn't have a throwout bearing or arm. It has a tube for the shift linkage to run through the bell housing. The rest of the trans is identical. The driveshaft is clamped to the input shaft on the trans, and a big plate is bolted to the bell housing, adapting it down to the torque tube.

For the most part, the audi and 944 transmissions are interchangeable.

I decided to go ahead and clean-up the look of the shifter inside the 914. I removed the the modified console and as you can see further down the end result is a much cleaner look...at least I like it. The gauges will end-up being intergrated into the 3 gauge dash cluster.
Before Picture

(IMG:http://computers4kidshome.com/Audi/before.jpg)

As you can see, the shifter is raised up about 1/2 inch, levers from the shifter actually protrude down into the tunnel.

(IMG:http://computers4kidshome.com/Audi/leftshifter.jpg)

If I wanted, I could cut the shifter mechanism tube that sticks upward and lower it about 4inches without too much problem. I would then either have to shorten the plastic shift mechanism cover or get a large boot. For now, I think I'm going to leave it be.

(IMG:http://computers4kidshome.com/Audi/rightshifter.jpg)

In this picture you see where normally a CA 75 has an EGR valve placed where the speedometer goes to and then leaves to be routed to the transmission. The cable coming from the Audi transmission is "Audi" and travels up the tunnel to this connector in the passenger foam cutout. The other side of the connector is a porsche speedo cable that travels up to the speedometer. I'm not to sure what this "connector" is but it makes the transfer from Audi part to Porsche part.

(IMG:http://computers4kidshome.com/Audi/audito914.jpg)

The new look... Eventually, I'll put a carpet kit in the car and it should look pretty good.

It was raining but wanted to go for a spin around the block. Not quite the "twisty" video that I hoped to first post, but at least it will give you a peak. Next time I'll have to figure out a better way of positioning a camera that will take some bumps...kept loosing the camera's focus from bumps.

The iphone app is "speed-o-meter"...it's either free or $1, I can't remember. It's pretty darn accurate.
