I know. I want to build a 914 with a VW W12 motor, a boxster 6 speed, and a 996 rear suspension. Put coilovers and 996 brakes on the front.

And after you've done all that some numb-nuts will still have the gall to say "you can't put A/C in it, and if you do it won't work very well." (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Most people just don't get that some people can do anything. I look forward to seeing your future projects.

That would sure be cool to do that! I see that the springs/shocks are close to being upright, and if you try to use the upper mounts as the 914 has, it looks like there will be interference with the upper arm. But you are going to be doing some fab work anyway - might as well do the rear in tube frame

How about this....



If I live long enought to get around to it I plan on doing exactly that.
I love 914's, but the rear suspension design is ca-ca.

Dude! that looks like a near bolt in! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

Only from Rick...... LOL (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

OK Rick, if "We" are going to do it right, here are 2 thought provoking pics. Let's do it!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) You build and I'll help. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
