the race is indeed on. I've ordered the back issue last night and I'm having it airmailed to me (hoping to see it soon). I think there is a post on the shoptalkforums about this conversion (I'm going to hunt it down tonight). I'm hoping to purchase the setup by thanksgiving (going to divert funds from my fuel injection buy....I'll live with carbs for now). I'm really believing that we are indeed on to something here. And the fact that its already installed on more than a handfull of cars makes me feel that the old way of installing the 901 is about to go the way of the doudou (bad spelling day). I've got a few questions for Martin but I'm saving them up till after I have all the info so that I only bug him once (besides I might find my answers in the article). You did make a good point about the translation of the website. I don't speak German....but I think I can find someone who does.

LOL..

Man I think you got me.. I am half way there and my younger brother has some $$ he owes me.. Probably get it by mid dec.. darn.. Second place is almost as good, I think..

I hear you..

When you ask martin please CC me.. olaverriam@yahoo.com
I got some home work to do myself.. Mind if I ask what your issues are off line?

Talk to you tomorrow.

Hi,

found out this morning that the currency of Euro to Dollar has decreased from nearly 1.30 to 1.17 in the last weeks. That means, that prices are about 10 % lower than a few weeks ago. So, if someone ist interested it might be that it is a good time to order. Or stay informed about currencies!

Will have a new charge of conversions again by the end of November. Only one kit left at the moment.

Cheers Martin

LOAF: I'll cc you with my questions/replys to/from Martin. You are more than welcome to ask offline. You can send me an email at eviloval@comcast.net

MARTIN: Man!!!! I'm tempted, but I need to do the research 1st. I have been looking thru the net about your products and managed to find a pic of the front mount for the tranny installed. That is one slick arrangement. I'm gathering my questions at the moment so I don't want to bother you with them until I get the back issue of UltraVW. Tonight I'll figure out whether my tranny is early/late and I'll email you. The kit you have left is it for an early or late tranny?

Evil,

Thanks for the update.. I went thru the article somewhat last night, and some of the same questions popped into my head..

Looks like you don't have to bang the hell out of the frame horns, just minor trim.. and with larger rear mount, you may have to clearance less.. (at least that is the perception that I get). Not sure about fitment and clearance of the body with these hardened mounts..

Got some questions on the clutch tube and stuff but I need to get under the car to analyze.. and look at it with the mag in hand..

I ended up buying a shifter 901 from lanner, just before I say martin's site, I may have to put that on the market, I really like his shifter or a variation of it (901) that are sold here in the states.. as opposed to the stock 901..
The shifter linkage and coupler are issues that I need to better understand.. also..

Lastly the nose cone.. anothe plus to this kit, if you have a 914 tail shift is that it looks like you can just buy this cone and flip the diff.. and your most of the way there..

Take good pictures.. I am very interested.. I have to now debate taking the body off.. I think you mentioned something about that.. R U doing it with the body on, or off..

Keep us posted.. and I will go to kinko's and get this scanned as it will be easier than trying to set up the POS old scanner that I have..

Here's a site with the 901/915 gear ratios

901's are good upto 300hp and 915's are about the same.
