Now now now ... let's not get nasty.


I said that. Your apology is accepted.


That's nice. The rest of what you said talks of track time, not of daily driving. I'm guessing there have been...

I know you said T1 engine and not T4 engine but the only info I ever saw was at Tuna's site about the T4. Look at the bottom of this link (http://www.tunacan.net/t4/tech/upright.htm). It includes...

I'm sure this discussion seems more testy in print than it would have been in person. I appreciate all of the answers and the passion behind them. It gives me much to consider. Thanks!

I avoided saying granny gear because my only experience with one was on a Syncro Vanagon. That seemed too low for the mild (if any) off-roading I would be doing with a Thing.

I realize a 181 is even more aerodynamically impaired than my 1302 was, but I just want to toss out this reminder: I am going to be more interested in day-to-day driving (highways, cornering,...

Excellent. That sums things up very nicely for now. With that as a base, I can search a little more confidently if I get to an area I want to pursue.

Noted. Thanks!


It was my understanding from investigating 914s that these were known for their vagueness and "slop," and that's why they were changed for the 1973 model year.


So, no one...

Did either of these come on the 914? And, if yes, did they come on a 1973-76 914? From what I have read so far, these are the better years for trannies on a 914. And, if not, with what Porsche did...

5-speed LSD Thing

I apologize in advance for some of this being open-ended. I am still deciding my new direction after the 1302. A pseudo-GL Thing is one of my thoughts currently in my Top Three. (I say "pseudo"...

The steering hub size had a mid-year change in 1974. The earlier ones are the same as an '85 911. Same goes for 1971-73. The later ones are the same an A2 flatformed Golf (1985-92). Same goes for...
