Well, I have done some research on the sportomatic cars, and I have decided to build one myself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It will be a 914 for my mom, because she doesn't like to have to use the clutch...because she is too short (exatly five feet).. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif) We found a nice solid car, good price, and it has airconditioning...which my mom specified it *had* to have for her to drive. Sportomatic 914 base My dad called us while we were driving from Virginia to Atlanta today and told us we won it...Then I asked her what color she wanted it to be, and the first car she liked she said "that color" it just happened to be a mini cooper... It was orange with black stipes, so that will be my theme. I aim to start and complete the project over next summer, while working at a professional porsche racing shop that pretty much deals with older race cars. I need a list of parts that I need to start collecting to make this work. It really shouldn't be hard to do...after I figured out how everthing worked... So far I have:
-901 Sportomatic transmission -911 sportomatic pedal cluster -911 sportomatic shifter and tigger -torque convertor (it was a VW unit..just not sure exacly what model..I have it saved on the comp somewhere) -transmission oil temp gauge -I think I need and extra oil pump to pressurize the system..still a little confused about that part What else people?? I need to start looking for parts because of their rarity. |

Not the round one. I knew what that one did. I'm talking about the long black "box"
I shouldn't have called it a "canister" B |
