More like he wanted to spend ungodly amounts of money. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (my 914 is still without a paint job) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Or... he wanted time alone in the garage but had the misfortune to pick a project that required assistance - so he ended up stuck in the garage with his wife this past weekend putting the transmission and motor together, taking it apart, putting it together, taking it apart - 6 times total! I remember the number because I kept saying "once for each cylinder"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Or... he started his car 'hobby/career' (waaaaay back as a teenager) as a drag racer (still has the NHRA license) and just... can't ... seem... to ... overcome his irrational desire for stoopid, crazy horsepower (I refer to it as a handicap, but hey, I can still beat him on an autocross course).

Aaron (the machinist) took the front mount apart and removed 1.25 inches from the U shaped plate between the engine and the arm for the mounts. That moved the engine forward enough so the trans mounts fit. It probably could have used another quarter inch removed.
