I'm new here figued I'd introduce myself. I'm a Porsche and aircooled VW nut since my first car a 74 beetle at age 16. I've had over 30 early vw's and on my third P-car a v-ram 993. First Porsche was a 72 914 that broke in half! I bought a 2004 Boxster and then the 993. My wife and I just had our first child so After much deliberation I've decided to sell my 96 993 C2 to free up some cash.
I've decided to go back with my favorite Porsche the 914. I'm currently shopping for a nice original car that I can purchase. I want to go with the a 916 look with a STI engine and 915 trans. I will be using the Renigade conversion kit with 911 suspension, cup wheels, and steel flares. If anyone has any good links on this conversion It would be appreciated. I have a bit of a problem with speed. After much research the 914/subaru hybrid seems like it was Made for me! Some pictures of my cars: first is my 993 that is currently for sale, then my 59 euro RHD deluxe sunroof beetle I'm restoring (IMG:http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid225/p0e22946b45c13197386ecfc5e8d4da9b/e81b77d8.jpg) (IMG:http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid225/p2887df7f1c68f9f73537a8568de64b90/e81b76f3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid225/p974adbc2433f9c0e74edccc08b621a38/e99fea86.jpg) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) I'm in the process of restoring a '73 914. I will be using the WRX 2.0 turbo engine and transmission for my car.
If you want to go cheap, well, I've never seen cheap and 915 transmission used in the same sentence. Renegade sells the kit, with the KEP parts, for using the stock 901 transmission with the subie motor. If you run a search here, you will find that there are a few people that are using the subie transmission along with the subie motor. Porcharu is currently putting together a kit, with custom axels for using the subie transmission. It is my hope to use this setup. Another member, Amenson, is currently putting an STI motor into his 914. The STI requires throttle by wire which, as I understand, requires either additional fab work or the intake off of the 2.0. Crazy Hippy, Carreraguy and Plymouth 73 all have subie conversions and are always more than willing to answer any and all questions. |
