Yes, I found out the tran's is a 06. Male axles and using the case numbers.

I was told by the old owner it has a LSD but we will see.

Also been think over the weekend and think I will just use the 901 and the Turbo " Leg "motor and build a cradle for it. Also think I will leave the GT idea behind.

This will free up the trans and EZ30 for a different build.
76-914
IMHO, running a 901 on anything other than a Porsche power plant is akin to driving a square peg into a round hole. beerchug.gif

Working on the trailing arm. Does this look ok ?

Went back and reread my build. Only change was I used weld-through paint on this arm. Man I have been doing this car for a long time. Sad. But I'm not dead yet.

I've used that paint before and it works great, do light coats and it will really look like chrome. The only problems I've had is when I try to clear over it, the chrome turns dull and just looks like silver paint.

I did some checking and the "net" said don't do it and that is the way I will go.

Opened up the right jack point. Lower outer jack cove is rusted. The next inner panel is rusted. The next panel looks ok so far. Take a look and tell me what you would do ?

Need to move the lift arm to cut our the lower spot welds.

Wire wheel and keep cutting back little by little until you hit good metal, then replace it.
I encountered a similar issue when I first got my car.

Thanks.

Been planning what wheels I will be using and don't want to pay for changing them. So started building a HF manual with the duck thing. Will test tomorrow. Will use the biggest tire and rim I have 295/50r15 on a 10 x 15 .

Did the math on the Subaru WRX 5MT with a EZ30R using the 185/55R15.
At 2500 rpm with a speed of 62 in 5 gear.

Also tested the tail lights. May need to get new covers ?

Any reason not to go with this size tire?

On a side note I'm not going to go with the GT look. Maybe later but for now .
Just going to do the repairs and get on the road.

One more wheel cleaned and will seal on Wednesday. Using Cerakote Clear - Aluminum MC-5100.
914GTSTI
A very little more. But it is moving forward.

Got some parts in. Very nice !

IPB Image

But still trying to decide what way to go ? Use the 2.0 turbo with the 901 or sell that setup and go with a EZ30 and the MT5 ?

Ideas ?


Zerodecibalmotorsports.com. is that the vendor website?

I'm running a EG33 with a FuelTech 550. If I change my engine I will go with the 3.6 . But you won't go wrong with the EZ30.

Maybe you have seen this clip:
