I'd like some opinions from the general peanut gallery. Is it worth the cost go to a 915 transmission over a 901? What is the benefit, if any? And, what's involved?
How about a Boxster S transmission? I've heard stories that a 915 is a pain to install, and doesn't every really shift well. I can't comment since I've never driven a 915 in a 914. But, with the bigger engine we now have, is it something I should be considering in the future? Being that I can get a complete 901 for cheap, and already own 3.... I know nothing about the Boxster S trans, other than a 6 speed with cable shifting would be very nice. thoughts, comments discussion? thanks |

I keep being told by guys I should ditch the old stuff and move to a more modern platform. Then I pass them on the track and they quickly shut up... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
If you like driving a 914 (which I assume everyone on here does), you would LOVE driving papa Smurf. He's such a point-and-shoot car and so easy to drive. Nadine loves driving him - it's so funny seeing this her jump into this beast of a car...though she hasn't driven the with he new engine yet. Next day on the track is Barber the beginning of March. With the 2.2, I could keep up with the GT3's, we'll see what happens with the 3.4... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
