I recently bought a 1990 911 with the 3.6 and tiptronic. I love driving it and came up with a crazy idea. I want to put one in my street 914. Has anyone done this? I want to mate it to a 3.6. Is the tiptronic in a boxter the same as the one in my 911? If so, it would not need the gears flipped. Any help with this dream would be appreciated.

While not as much luggage capacity as a 914, the Boxster can accept two sets of golf clubs (partially removed from small bags) and enough luggage for two for a weekend.
I learned how to drive on a manual shift, a 914 was my only car from 1978 to 1990, and I still love my Tip Boxster. Yes there is a little loss of HP over the manual, but surprising as some may find it, my "package" has not decreased in size! I had a '91 C2 with the Tip and it was OK, but the '00 and newer automatics are much much better. The selling point for the Tips, for me anyway, was riding with some of the factory drivers at the Weissach test track and the fastest driver was driving a Tip. |
