Awesome build. And since you got all of us in the peanut gallery at 914world watching, you are never really without a net (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Interested in seeing the rear suspension with axles in there. Looks like the axles go either behind or inside the black squared-off piece? Also super interested in a rear diffuser for the 914... That exhaust would be just fine popping up out the top like a stinger on a Baja Bug! I love that look! Thanks for sharing all the great photos and posts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I built the speed sensor bracket today, installed the axles, and painted the intercooler tubing and exhaust.

Check out inside the exhaust in this pic, you can see the O2 sensor and all the way back to the wastegate, this should flow pretty well! |

Looking at that bracket makes me wonder how your weight saving tally is going. Do you have a target weight?

Right now the weight savings are somewhere around 525 pounds give or take. If it ends up around 1800 pounds when it is completely done I would be happy, could end up much lighter though.

What are you using for a speed sensor?
I got a Hall Effect Sensor from Small Car Performance for mine, but I haven't installed it yet. -Britain |

I'm pretty sure when Dana gets an idea, right before he executes it, he goes "BWAHAHAHAaaaaaa . . ."
Too cool for words. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) |

I made a little progress yesterday.
I built the mounts for the coolant tank and the fuel pump/filter assembly. |

I am running a 928S pump on its stock bracket, the filter is on its way. Sorry for the bad shot, it is hard to get a good view of it.
The coolant tank is stock WRX, just relocated to the other side of the engine. By deleting the throttle body heater I was able to lower the coolant tank by about 3" while still keeping it at the highest point in the system by 4 or so inches. |

Then I plumbed the rest of the engine's coolant lines.

Looks like you had to modify the oil filler tube. Is that still the SVX piece or did you use something else?

I have the stock wrx filler in there for now, the clearances were close enough with the engine raised that I was keeping the SVX piece off of the car while I put in the engine cross bar for fear of breaking it, I will be swapping it back in after I am done working on the tube chassis. |

I got it custom made by terrycable when I did my conversion at Renegade, I think they sell them now.

Really...I will give them a call. How do did you route it? What does the end at the throttle pedal look like? Does it just go into the stock ball socket?

Looking at their catalog, didn't see the Subaru conversion cable....but it is a good thing they list a cable for a Porsche 935. Bet they sell a lot of those.

It is a custom cable, you specify length and what threads you need on the ends, then they supply the necessary hardware to adapt to whatever you need. It is routed like the stock one through the tunnel and attaches to the pedal like the original.
