Should it be a total sleeper, or should it just have a hint? My car is probably going to look a lot like Andy's except orange and with stock but fibreglass bumpers!

This should be a fun thread!

I voted for no stinking badges. However, I have noticed that Subarus have separate chrome letters on the back that could be used somewhere. Engine grill? Glove box? Forehead?

maybe use the subaru symbol(or the WRX badge) on the engine lid, other than that: "we don't need no steenking badges!"

I would not put ANY of the standard 914 emblems (2.0, vw-porsche, 9-1-4) on ANY conversion car... but that's just my .02

I vote for the Type-R sticker.

I had put a 912 engine in my Ghia a couple of years ago. Along with that, I found a 912 badge, and toyed with the idea of installing it on the decklid. After I switched back to stock power, I was glad I didn't install that badge.

Just a thought - would a WRX-powered 914 spank an actual WRX on the track? I assume it would, just due to the weight distribution. . . is that right?

914-1.7

I prefer to leave the competition in a state of confused dissapointment.

The Portland Impreza club has in-car video of highly modified WRX track sessions at PIR. In these videos the WRX's blow away most of the 911's on the straights, but can't stick with them in the corners. We all know how 914's match up against 911's handling-wise, so I think the potential of a WRX-powered 914 is huge.

Just go with 2.0 badging. Maybe put a DOHC decal on it somewhere.

I am seriously thinking about doing this conversion. What an awesome street motor. Plenty of support and aftermarket experience. Water cooling is excellent for a high power turbo street motor. No reason why a well modded stock motor can't make 300-350 with the right bolt ons. You could then kick the shit out of everyone. No change in weight distribution, just a huge boost in power and reliablity.

a wrx also outweighs a 914 by a little more than a thousand pounds. no contest. unless you're talking totally gutted race cars.

How would you do that on a mid-engine chassis?

Answer: you couldn't

Now you could perhaps put all the running gear from a WRX under a Ghia or 911 chassis. Hey, stoopider ideas have been proposed, many by me personally.

exactly. i can't imagine that the wrx engine by itself is enough to get a 914 to match the 3200 pound a stock wrx weighs. the 914 will be WAY faster.

Yes, but you'd need to reverse the direction of the engine, or flip 2 of the 3 diffs.

Or change the ghia/911 to rear wheel steering and flip the seats and controls around (funny).
