Been thinking about what it would take to build in tubes or whatever to allow a complete Boxster suspension swap out on a 914. It is likely a big project, but maybe not. Anyone else been thinking about this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) |

I have mulled it over. I've decided to sell the $hitbox instead.

QUOTE(J P Stein @ Jul 15 2009, 08:07 AM)  I have mulled it over. I've decided to sell the $hitbox instead. Hey Randal: Tim is a 914World member and has an incredible tube-frame 914-V8 in which he has built his own 5-Link rear suspension. In order to do the same, you would need to rebuild the whole back-end of the car with a tube sub-frame to accept a new design suspension. So the question is: do you have the shop, tools, know-how and WILL to go all the way. Once you start, there would be NO going back as you would HAVE to remove all the original 914 suspension mounting points. For a complete discussion, I'd suggest emailing Tim: byndbad914@yahoo.com Best of luck, Terry |
