Yes my engine is SO much fun and addicting, but I dont know why i even take my car out when i am drenched from the heat on the way back home. (still 98 degrees here in az at 10 PM!) I am taking my time with the A/C system so thats not done for a few months.
Love the torque, but i think one of my Cv's is on its last life. I am getting a pretty good clunking noise that is exactly the pace of the spinning of the wheel at speed. About 20 mph all the way to ....well. 75 lets say. Its at the rear wheel, drivers side, sounds like on the outside inside the suspension arm where the cv bolts to the hub. What does an about to break CV joint sound like? |

CV's are one of the most neglected parts in our cars. The need to be repacked every ~15,000 to 20,000 miles or so. Less if you're racing.
The grease evaporates, hardens and looses it's lubricity. Torn boots kill 'em quick. FYI, You can get VW cv's and drill them out for the roll-pins. If you've converted to 5-lug you can modify your 914 axles slightly, use 911 flanges and stub axles (or 944 stub axles with a spacer), and use 944 cv's. Good luck |
