The price of a 986 is so cheap right now and you get a fantastic chassis and braking for the money. It could be a great candidate for a swap to a more powerful and reliable motor. The subie swap looks interesting and will keep my eye on this option as it evolves.

I have a lift in my shop and took the opportunity to make some measurements when upgrading the IMS, RMS and replacing the clutch. Assuming the factory Porsche transaxle stays in its factory position it appears to be impossible to fit the LSX in the remaining space without cheating into the cockpit. My disclaimer is I’m not a professionally trained technician or fabricator.

The local track (race city) is closing when winter arrives. Lots of speculation about what will happen next. I’m still in denial.
