Hi Mark,

The tub has been powdercoated but the body panels still need paint. We're collecting a few more bits, but it appears we will try for an assembly party sometime in February or early March. Since there isn't much in the way of systems in the car, it should go together relatively quickly. At least it will be rolling!..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Have you gotten an engine or made a decision on what you'll be running?

Hi Andy,

On the motor we have narrowed the selection down to either a 993 pre-varioram 3.6 or to a varioram 3.6. We know that the pre-vario version fits (we already had it fitted before it went into my 911!)...but now we are interested in the varioram for a variety of reasons.

Since it's only money....we can have a new engine lid fabricated if the motor sits a tad high. And we have an extra inch to play with as the AJ firewall mount was welded in 1 inch lower than normal to reduce the CG.

Sweet. I like how you did the back end. I am getting ready to do something similar with the back half of mine. It is over at TC Design in Milpitas right now.

Any new updates on your car?

We have purchased an engine for The Beast™. It's a 2.7 liter motor with Haltech engine management on it and built by Matt Lowrance. Currently a 901 MSX box is being freshened with a Guard LSD to be installed.

The rebuilt Ground Control coil overs have been hung on the car. We need to figure out the wiring and put the brake lines back in as the next step.

Inching forward....

Bill could you provide some of the specs on the engine please. I am going to be building a 2.7 for my 914 and am interested in different approaches people have taken. I'm looking for 220 h.p. + but must be streetable (reliable). Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

SWEET!! Are those two engine stands repurposed as a rotisory If so cool idea. Looks like it is moving right along. Did you decide not to use the 915 with the wevo then? If so I would gladly buy it from you.

We decided to go with the MSX since we already had it lying around and the gearing was done. We just need sychros and a LSD. SirAndy has the flipped 915 now.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Unfortunately the Beast was sold in 2011...I haven't seen it pop up on the board since.
