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. |

Finally someone doing the same conversion as me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)
How did you mount the engine and trans? Would it be too much trouble for some specs and pics of the mounting etc.? I was thinking of making adaptors from the stock mounts on the 914 to the 1.8t that way I could take it out again etc. I would love some pics!

It starts to separate over time. There is someone on here who has 450# front and 350# rear I am sure he will chime in. |
