Wow! That really opens up the view of that section of the engine. Your engine is looking great. I've really come to appreciate the underlying simplicity of the Subie engines, once all the modern complexities are stripped away. Glad I could help.

Just for a little more Subie bling, here's a shot of the SVX that's going in my Syncro Westy. Couldn't resist getting the intake polished. As you can see, I went to the Sir Andy School of Photograpy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)



Hijack over....now get back to work on the Biter. The 914 Nation awaits your progress.



That is a really pretty motor.

Thanks. The intake does a great job of covering all the wiring and plumbing.

I'm guessing it was Dana who broke into my garage and started tearing into my Matchbox (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I finally finished a tough semester and I leave for a month long stay in Rome in 13 days so I decided to really push to make some progress on the car before I leave.
I took a big leap and decided to take the car to the next level and go with a full tube chassis in the rear. I will be able to drop a ton of weight and can custom build everything to mount the Subie engine rather than relying on a conversion kit.

I would love to go with a double a-arm set-up in the rear but with out a chassis bench I don't feel like it's something I can do right. Since I will be retaining the stock swing arms I had to build a couple jigs to locate the swing arm mounts on the new frame. In addition to the jigs I took hundreds of measurements to make sure everything ends up where it needs to be.

I will be raising the swing arm mounts 2" so the swing arm sits level at the cars lowered ride height.

After a couple hours of careful cutting the two halves were separated.
No turning back now! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Here is what I am working with, I managed to remove the rear half of the car without hitting the jigs and according to my measurements the swing arm mounts are right where they should be.
The tubes of the rear frame will tie into my existing cage and into the longs.

The Renegade conversion cradle weighs 28 pounds and the bare rear section I removed without suspension, lid, or diffuser weighed 144.4 pounds, I would be amazed if the new tube frame and f/g fenders weigh half that.

I couldn't resist mocking up the 2 Anklebiters in the garage shot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Stay tuned, lots of work on its way!

Holy crap! You've got stones the size of boulders. This pic reminds me of the old vaudeville magicians that sawed their assistants in half. Rock on!

Did you cut it with the saw hanging on the wall?

HAHAHA, I suppose I should put a not safe for purists warning on this!
Don't worry, it will be done perfectly, no corners will be cut.
On the bright side I got a kick ass 914 trailer out of the deal!

Tis but a scratch!
A scratch? Your car is cut in two!
No, it isn't!
Well, what's that then? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
