I've bent my frame horns. Use a Gene Berg GB643 intermediary tranny mount (http://www.geneberg.com/mountspg11.htm) and a preload brace (http://www.csp-shop.de/technik/pdf/eng/20917.pdf) and you'll be fine. Don't forget a Quaife ATB differential, too, for excellent power slide control |

So are you one of the lucky few?? ) To own one that is.. J. Ps. Never have been in a realy fast/quick aircooled, the closest encounter was my youngest cousins early 911 Turbo which was tweaked by a "reputable" Norwegian firm/company, approved by a German Tuning house, claimed 375 at the rear wheels...(Four speed tranny only, weird but very efficient..) For the first time in my life I experienced acceleration faster than a crouch rocket(rice burner two wheels..), actually felt like the seat was going to give.. and I was few kilos lighter back then... Interesting to say the least. The fastest top speed I have done(On four wheels) was an old 944 early, think it sported 163 or something, we did 237 Km/h with four people and the front lights up, had to brake for a slower car changing lanes, this was aproaching(SP?) Gøteborg(Gothenborg) in Sweden. Ohhh, now I can only muster a 648SS and a ancient 230E(82) nice though... Getting older physicly but not much on the inside, 40 and single... exept for the dog that is.. Well, this was a lot of drivel, hope you did not fall asleep. All the best. Jørn. |

Are you happy with the outcome vs. price? Does it pull like you expected? What sort of tranny/axel setup are you running? No problems with cv's yet? Sorrrry about all the questions and lack of personal content, about to crash here after a "Friday out" Take care. Jørn. |
