Oh! Also, a few things that I should add or clarify:

I have a folder of paperwork dating back to about 1994. It's probably not a complete record, but it's fun to look through.

I also have an owner's manual in ... poor condition. I'll throw that in if you'd like.

The transmission is actually from a 2005 Impreza RS, according to the receipt. I was confused because the car has a 2006-style clutch setup, with the "push" slave cylinder (earlier cars had a "pull" slave cylinder, which is bulkier). The car has a lightweight flywheel. It will probably sound very, very mean.

The tires are as low-miles as they look, and they've been stored indoors out of sunlight. That said, they're still 5-6 years old, and have been stationary for years and probably flat-spotted. I would expect to replace them before really using the car, but they hold air just fine.

Yes, the car could be put back to stock if you really wanted to. I don't know why you would, but some have asked.

Hey guys I held off as some of you are closer. I know a few were going to check it out. I wanted Brandon to have a shot of getting out from under it sooner rather than later. I've got a crazy couple weeks ahead & no time to get down there. If none of you pick it up I will eventually. It will be an extra car for me. So while I would like it. I would rather see it go to someone it will be a priority for. I will put it to use eventually if one of you don't soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Seems like a great deal...way too $$ for me, besides one non-running 914 is enough for me, I wish he was closer so I could at least check it out!

Love the look of the intake manifolds but what is the the final plan. Those will melt and deform with engine heat. Laser scan and CNC?

I would buy this in a heat beat if it were in my budget.

They're printed in polyamide 12. Naturally they're untested, but I'm confident they won't deform at normal water-cooled head temperatures, based on the published properties of the material, testing I've done with a 1/8th-scale prototype, and some testing others have done. My backup plan if they did was to print them in ABS, sand cast them in aluminum, and do some finish machining on the mating surfaces if the gasket wouldn't seal.

Too bad you aren't closer...this car really is a great deal!

FWIW I used the same material for the intake manifold on a hot running GSX-R600 race motor (average coolant temps ~220F, manifolds bolted right to the head, no phenolic) and didn't experience any deformation or cracking problems over 6 months of hard use. Most people just SLA ABS which is really brittle and has a much lower HDT, but with it's high fatigue strength and HDT PA is really the perfect RP material for this application.

It's still around. There's been a steady stream of interest but no bites. It can be all yours, green914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I am really surprised this is still around! If I didn't already have a stagnant project in my garage.... (Subie also, but the wrx motor.)

ez30 flat six is an impressive engine. I think 212 hp.

If I had any more room I would have already had it in my garage.

3 vws and a Porsche 914 its packed

I've seen it..... it's a tight fit!

And it's gone! Thanks, everyone, for the kind words. Now to see if there's any (commercial) interest in more of those intake manifolds...

Finally! Sorry it took so long Brandon.

By chance do you know if the car was purchased by a 914 guy who intends to bring it life?

In short, no, not really. He plans to pull the drivetrain out and use it instead of a V8 he's got in a conversion project of his. Not sure what he's going to do with the chassis, but he's not interested in it.

Just saw this thread now. I’m personally baffled how this offer for $5k or somewhat less(?) took more than six weeks to go. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Just my 2 cents

M.i.M.

Was hoping to find someone who might know something about where the car/ drivetrain went.

You don't have a way to contact Brandon do you? What I'm really after is the plans for the itb adapters he had 3d printed.
