I did a ground up build on a really nice chassis about 22 years ago. It changed hands twice ending up with jerhofer, who took it up several notches. It’ll be fun to watch and see what it hammers at.

Impressive car. It would be nice if someone could come up with a parts list and mods to recreate that Boxster trans conversion. I love my 915/916 trans. It's night and day better than a 901/914 trans with a 3.2 or 3.6, but not nearly as nice as a modern Boxster trans. I still have to muscle each gear change and it's not as tight shifting compared to his video. No way in hell could I shift with one finger and each gear is wobbly. Still shifting is easy with a Rennshift and a 916 gear box. The rennshift hides all the shifting issues.

I have one I have been waiting for an excuse to install it, was concerned about I heard they can be harder to shift than a 901? Also mine is an early 915 so it has a similar gear ratio as a 901, was debating if I need to put the taller R&P in it. I bet he could start making conversion kits for that Boxster trans and sell them as a small business... |
