I was under the impression that a Boxster engine required some cutting to fit?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I thought the engine hit the suspension. Has the internet has lied to us? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) You also can't turbo a 914. |

I didn’t like the way the car sounded in the driving video. It was more of a wine than a growl. For years now, I thought about putting a modern drive train in a 914 would make it better and maybe it’s my age, but I think it’s a waste of effort and $$. My new focus is on the car Eric is building with the electronic suspension.
