New to the Fourm
 

Hey guys and gals
I just sold my V8 914 and plain a Boxter LS7 build. I haven't the car as yet and am looking for the best car to start with. My 914 was a special car, it had Boxster / 996 suspension an Ls6 and a G-50. Once I got it running i began to think about a boxster and here I am. I just wanted a more refined version and with the 914 everything was decades old. I could have made it nice but it will never be a modern car.
I'm now doing all the research and making plains for the build up.

Welcome.

That is very impressive. Nice build.

Welcome! I'm looking forward to what you come up with:cheers:

Welcome and fantastic 914!

There are a ton of Boxsters for sale under 10k not many "S" models. My first choice would be a Caymen but they are mostly too expensive for my wallet. I am sure a take my time attitude (if I can) would be the best thing to do. I did see a 2006 Cayman for 16k but it was a salvage car but it went fast. The ad's still up but he said it was sold :ah: Salvage cars need to be inspected closely for sure because of the added weight, HP and torque using a LS7. I've learned from building 2 V8 914 cars, there's much more to do besides installing the conversion engine.
My other two builds by design left me to make a ton of the parts, now I just want to buy nice tested parts. I'm tired of looking at my ugly welds etc. :chicken:
Renegade makes conversion parts that take the guessing out of the big stuff. I used a Toyota Mr2 power steering pump on both my 914's and I'll do that myself. I still have 2 spare pumps laying around.
Anyone doing a LS swap here ?
