I don't like autonomous off-road vehicles. They smell bad, scare easy, and run off with your pack.

what if you were to use a baja bug? lifted, no ground clearance problems, lots of cockpit room, extremely simple! Extremely reliable! what else could you want? a hovercraft? lol

Has anyone ever built an all wheel drive 914???
Is it possible? I was thinking about a rally car out of a 914... What I want is 914/2.0 914/electric 914/8 and a 914 4 wheel drive I might sound crazy, but slowly the collection has started to get bigger.. Rich |

You can do anything, with sufficient application of a welder and a plasma cutter.
But making a 4WD 914 would be a cast-iron bitch. Note where the transmission is--in the back. Note what is in the way of anything going from the transmission to the front wheels--the engine, and for that matter the whole freaking car... Not a job I'd wish on anyone. Hey, wait...

The vehicle would have no driver. So there is no point in having the passenger compartment. Cut it out and that is where the heavy duty 4x trans. will sit. - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

What about a second 914 engine and a 911 transmission driving the front wheels?

Damn, beat me to it, the second engine thing that is. I was thinking more along the lines of a VW 1.8 wasserpumper and trans installed in the front. Cheeep to do parts wize, adds weight but more than doubles the HP :- )
Shifting might be a chore, I'd stick to the auto trans in the front. It would just have to keep up with the back and versa visa. |
