Anybody look at this? Too wide? Too tall?

Im not saying a clutch/stick isnt fun. BUT it when your looking for the next performance gain, its hard not to overlook the biggest drawback you have, and thats shifting.

All I am saying is that for those of us that are wanting to stretch the envelope on these little cars, that is one of the things that has been on the table as something that could really take the limits of these cars to the next level.


I put it hand in hand with AWD.. I want to take a tube chassis car and throw a DSG AWD mid engine setup in it... And I have a decent idea of how to accomplish it and still fit a stockish looking 914 shell on top.

@Andyrew - Tell me about your plans... I have a Cayman PDK and the associated control unit, shifter and cable. And that 993 rear suspension. With my car about to be road worthy, I'll be looking for a new project soon!

Well since I have a pretty low likely hood of ever doing it....


For a cheap dsg I would go VW dsg and pair it either with a vr6 or 2.0t.
Then turn it 90deg to run it front to rear.

Add some underdrive boxes to the front and rear and then a differential at the wheels in the front and rear (flipping one upside down).

If I didn't want dsg I would do another FWD setup.

Fairly simple setup. All standard parts plus fabrication and a bit of machining.


There I said it... tube chassis car would be required at this point. But the engine would be able to stay in the engine bay.
