Bumping the 400 at the wheels those pistons are going to need race gas and no miss shifts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Here are some pictures and an in-car video. No blazing fast lap times this time out. I'm still a bit rusty because I haven't driven on track in almost 3 years, and the car has only been completed for 12 hours at this point. There is a lot of speed potential in the car (more than my driving ability could use this past weekend) and I can't wait to see how it fairs against other cars in it's class after we get some development time under our belts.

This was with a restrictor plate in place of the functioning thermostat. We are going to have to go back to a thermostat. Without any tape on the front end, the water temps never got above 125 degrees while driving. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i180.photobucket.com-11979-1328566498.5.jpg) |

Will there be plans or kits for a basic drivetrain The plan is to have basic kits first, which will include a custom flywheel, adapter plate, clutch kit, starter motor and engine cradle for both Boxster and 914 chassis After you get all the "bugs" worked out maybe you can post "some" anticipated kit costs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Thx for sharing. |

Do you make an adapter plate that will work with say, a Subaru EZ30D, or WRX-STI, and mate up with a 2001 Boxster 986-5 speed transaxle?
