Elwood, hate to squash your enthusiasm, but you're going to need a little bit more than the motor mount. I'm working with Ed down in Tampa, FL on his WRX-powered 914 and can't begin to tell you how many parts you're going to need from Renegade to get the job done, not to mention the wiring (won't go there). Oh, and the radiator, etc, etc, etc.
I'm typing this while the computer sits in the trunk and Ed is mounting the electronics in the trunk now, and just looking at the car I can't begin to tell you how difficult this stuff would have been without Renegade's kit. http://community.webshots.com/user/fat73 |

Just saw your thread over on I-club, figured I'd post here about it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Congrats on the car! Thats definatly one of the cleanest subaru-914 swaps around! For tuners around San Jose, i'd definatly go to Gruppe-S or hook up with EQ Tuning on I-club. They have great reputations in the Subaru community and know a thing or two about working with Subaru ECU's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) $20k does seem a tad pricey to me, but if it includes alot of the custom work you mentioned like the suspension, seats, etc. it can add up. There are cheaper options if you wanted to do a 200hp+ Subaru swap in a 914, and some shops that could work with the wiring too (Getting that motor to run in a 914 without smog requirements is probably easier than swapping to different body style subaru and keeping it smog legal, which is what alot of the subaru shops work on) but you still need some of the physical parts like the motor mounts, radiator setup, etc. that will add up. Anyway, congrats on the car and enjoy it... Whatever you do, YOU CAN NOT WRECK IT! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Its too awesome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I do like the radiator setup and the radiator cutout they did on Tom's car. I have ordered a EJ20T with a computer management system installed. He is test running it before he ships it to me. I probably will order a lot more stuff next week but I have to get my car to the body shop first.....don't ask. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

QUOTE(neo914-6 @ Aug 8 2006, 11:52 PM) Tom, There are at least three of us planning to be there ~7:30: me, Jon, and Jason. Jon is bringing tools so don't let him out of your sight! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Thursday won't work unless Tom was willing to leave the keys to the car... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) We'll reschedule for possibly Fri or Sat evening... |

Hey admins... Any word on the non IE browser glitches? Firefox rules, but this is one of those threads that I have to go back to IE just to read because the glitches hide half the replies when viewed in non-IE browsers. Grrr. Crap, I ain't complaining. Really. Just encountered this and puked a response. Sorry. FWIW, I would be willing to help work on a solution. |

I had an opportunity to see Tom's car for the first time at the GGR AX this weekend. Just had to post and say this is one of the cleanest Subi conversions I have seen. The car is beautiful and a real sleeper. Anyone considering engine options should definitely think about a Subaru conversion. These engines really fit the 914 character nicely.
This is a 914 that any car nut would be proud to have in their garage. |

This is a 914 that any car nut would be proud to have in their garage. Hi Grant: Thanks for the "props". It was great meeting many of the Club's NorCal autox crowd (you, Dan, Andrew, Trekkor and others) yesterday and I'm sure I'll see you guys at the autox season in 2007. Dan designed a great course and I drove like crap but I can't blame it on the car for sure - it really pulled! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Later, Edit - just got this video from my son: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbYVyBl8wu4...ted&search= |
