haha schweet!! Now you'lll fit in with the porsche club...

A retired engineer had it as a project ...he mounted all the bits(awesome fabriication), yet he has too many projects on the go and needs to down size. He was going to keep it, and I got it for a gesture price not a $$$value.

I am also getting a splitty ute in the next month..any guess what motor I will be putting in !

The collection has started!

Certainly an interesting use of the word "guest".:jesus

Boof.. great idea! I knew a bloke around here that used to bring 914s into Aus more than a decade ago and always wished I could buy one...


72RSbug - July 16th, 2005 at 06:08 AM

Are you going to keep it sequential turbo with the black "box of death" vacuum line box hooked up or going single turbo?
Of you know how to hook up the vacuum line box I'd donate an organ to find out how exactly :)


boof2332 - July 16th, 2005 at 04:42 PM

PLease explain about the box of death...is it something to do with the sequential turbo transition or lack of it. I will get a couple of new turbos and run them twin intercooled but not sequential...Just a thought.

Hi mate, i just looked at your info page,looks great.Who does your carbon fibre work all did you order that bootlid from Australia?.... It just looks like one of my products which i do here in Australia.Thanks JVLRacing:thumb


boof2332 - July 17th, 2005 at 12:49 AM

JVL you spunkmuffin,

Can I borrow you mould for the deck lid, I will bang out a carbon fibre one for my car...need a new lid badly. You do not want to know the idea I was going to try and create.


seagull - August 1st, 2005 at 09:38 PM

were are the photos I say !


boof2332 - August 2nd, 2005 at 12:40 AM

Trying to find space for the at least 2x everything(interior, lights, rubbers, door assembly blah blah) some things there are 3x. The 5 speed wrx box has a special diff mod to run 2 wheel drive, with an awesome bancking plate/ rear gearbox mount. I the linkage is special too, working the original subaru shifting setup and shifter.

We are starting the paint process tomorrow and there is only one place that needs a smear of bog on the whole car...lovelly.

The motor looks complex ...more vacuum lines than wires. Have to pull the motor as the flywheel and new brass button race clutch need to be fitted.....it may all make some sense when I can see it properly.

Pics tomorrow night.

Matt


seagull - August 2nd, 2005 at 12:45 AM

You lucky bastard!

Have fun with that thing! :dork:


boof2332 - August 3rd, 2005 at 07:05 PM

Did you all get a glimpse of the orange?
Went to VG's auto paint and got a flash spray gun....it is now all mt druit grey. The thing is that straight, and already rubbed down, all we did was touch up a couple of scrathces and hit it. Came up awesome. Tomorrow will give it 4-5 coats of the new colour and 4-5 of clear after that...

Resprayed a new deck lid and beaver panel for the bug also..
