914 WRX Build Options

[waltonsm]

After seeing some recent posts, I decided it was finally time to thank everybody on this forum for years of encouragement and scope creep on my long term project. As with every real project, this will never be done, and there are certainly many things I would do differently a second time around. But I am 80% of the way there, and I am enjoying driving it as much as I am working on it for the last year or so.

I plan to add more photos of my build process over the next few weeks. You may see some of the advice you gave me realized, and probably some bad or good ideas in metal, fiberglass, and wood.

Hopefully I can help someone else out too.

Here are some recent photos:





And a few from about 4 years ago:

I have gotten a few questions about the axles/CVs, so I am posting here:

@willieg , @cali914

Parts I used:

Subaru gears center diff lockout
Quaife torsen transaxle diff
Subaru gears diff stubs
Subaru gears stub/100mm CV adapters
Lindsey Racing 100mm Race CVs (custom center, balls, cage for higher torque in 100mm package, 911 splines)
300M, 911 axles in custom length from pacific customs

I have been happy with all the above parts, but I can't recommend the low profile lindsey racing cv boots. They don't have enough plunge travel or articulation for this application. I now use OEM style 944 boots.
