Be interested in how well the wavetrac does.

Get the car going, bling does not make a car go, and can always be added latter.

Now if I just heeded my own advise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Engine bling in a 914 doesn’t really show much compared to a 911.

Actually, not much shows at all if you keep your engine compartment closed.

Now just a matter of buttoning up the little stuff. Was thinking about making its debut at the Seal Beach event but out of town that weekend.

Heres a pic of my 3.2 motor mated to the trans. I have been asked why I didn't add some powder coating bling to the usual engine components.
This was on my list but I felt it was more wise to put those funds into my rebuilt trans.
I stepped up and had a WAVETRAC ATB Differential and a Patrick magnesium Intermediate Plate installed along with other goodies.


Why a magnesium intermediate plate?
mag is only 65% as stiff as aluminum (it's tension modulus) In a gear case, stiffness is the key thing you need, you'd be better off with the stock aluminum int. plate.
That's why aluminum 911 engine cases are superior to mag.

Patrick's replacement intermediate plate is billet aluminum. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That car is looking great!! Shouldn't be too long until you're driving, right?

Yes your correct it is billet aluminum, got it backwards. They removed the mag plate. Hoping Mr. Patrick will call me soon so I can travel
to Phoenix and trailer the car back to Calif for some PCH cruising.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

There’s a lot to be said for writing a big check and having a car back in months instead of diy for a couple years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I also have a white narrow-body 3.2L conversion. Mine is using an '87 Carrera motor with Motronic, and I noticed a detail with yours that I had not seen before. It's very clever and I want it...

Was the black intake tube that places the volume airflow sensor closer to the firewall a PMS fabrication? Something they sell? You have a very nice car and well thought conversion by the way.

Thank you, wish I could answer your question. Best to call James.
