Thanks, I am still weighing my options. I get my garage lift installed in September then I'm ready to begin. I know quite a few people, esp from 914 World have done similar conversions. Do you have a recommendation for book/guide/manual reference ? Certainly the All Porsche Power appeals to me.
Couple questions about your conversion: What mods did you do for the shift linkage ? The difference shifting my 914 and Boxster is well... like the difference between the moon and sun. That was one of the considerations. I know there are shift kits but a bit expensive. Did you add AC to your ride and how much did it cost? I see stand alone systems easily costing >$1500 in parts alone. Trying to be smart about the economics too... "financial planning" along with the design planning.
