Quick update with everything in primer. Just waiting on the wheels to be made so I can test-fit everything before I final sand and start painting everything.

Maybe its just me but I dont see a 914 anywhere (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Perhaps the title should be changed to OT or SOT or WOT (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

6 pages in and nobody has complained yet... this engine/transaxle configuration would directly translate into 914 applications. If someone wants me to add "SOT" to the title a mod can let me know... or I can get rid of the thread all together...

Does anyone know if the boxster transmission will mate to the older aircooled porsche engines? This seem like a good upgrade for large -6 conversions.

No, it won't. The bellhousing's all wrong (bolts in different places) and the starter is on the engine side rather than the tranny side which makes it that much more difficult. Then, the output flanges are all kinds of different with an offset pumpkin so there's that.

Thanks, once I figured out how to more effectively search I found all the threads. Of course I had to post the question before I copped a clue...

Some suspension bits...

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i180.photobucket.com-11979-1307694239.1.jpg)


Control arms with some of those pieces installed. There won't be a single rubber bushing anywhere on the car. Everything is mono-ball or solid.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i180.photobucket.com-11979-1307694239.2.jpg)

Been making some good progress lately. The wheels came in so I was able to mount some NT01's on them and make the car a roller (temporarily) to verify tire/wheel fitment with the quarter panels and suspension. I need to add some 8mm spacers on the rear so I can lower the back end of the car to a more appropriate ride height, but otherwise everything fits great so the next step is to start painting stuff.

Here is a teaser pic of the car on the ground for the first time in almost a year, and the Racepak dash that I mounted in place of the stock gauge pod.

Nope. I was able to accomplish the same thing for less money use the Tarett parts and camber plates.

It will be painted bright green.
