Curiosity got me to pondering the above questions....
Suppose non-Subaru motor for the Subaru transmission and non-Boxster/Audi engine for the Boxster transmission. What about axles and hooking up to the drive hubs? One easier or vastly less expensive than the other? EDIT 2/21/2016: Now with pictures comparing Boxster transmission to 901 transmission |

I can dig a preserved 914 Pat. I would venture to say my subaru powered 914 is a huge improvement over it's stock 2.0 predecessor. It is more reliable, more powerful & most of all it's my car. I can do what I please to it & will. I have owned many 914's & most have been stock one's. If I ever meet you at an event. I'd love for you to drive my car & then tell me if it was a pleasurable experience or not (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Still feels & drive's like a 914. Only smoother faster & the shifts are easy with no hunting or grinding of gears (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
So for future reference if I ever bought your car Pat. I would leave it just like it is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) . It is a nice beautiful stock 914 I would be proud to own. I love 914's in all forms. Okay well there are some body kits out there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) |
