I'm doing a Audi 1.8t conversion into my 914. I'm using a complete engine/tranny out of a FWD a4.
I've got the engine/tranny into the 914 and the transmission lines up perfectly with the rear hubs. Now I need to have a set of custome axles made. Anyone know of a place (preferrably in the Bay Area, CA) that can make these for me. I've found a place on the east coast but feel more confortable being able to take my car to the place and letting them do the measurements. Also, I only know of the one place right now. I'd like to know of other places (even east coast) that may do it so that I can compare/shop for the price. Thanks in advance. |

QUOTE(trekkor @ Jul 4 2004, 10:05 AM) I need to see a pic of this conversion. Sounds cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) Are you going to weld each axle half together to make the custom? Sleeving it for strength of course. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) At first I considered doing this...but don't know if it will work out. Firstly, I've got a 5 bolt rear conversion with either a /6 hub or 911 hub (i guess that would make it an early 911 hub). So, the stock axles/stub axles don't fit. With this approach i'd have to go out and get 911/914-6 axles and a4 axles. Plus I don't know if welding them together will how the 350whp i'm expecting to make. For that reason I was looking for custom made axles that can hold the power. I've spoken to the the Driveshatshop about getting some cutoms made. So, i'm looking for other places (local hopefully) that can do this for me. |
