Hello GermanLooker
Wally asked me to write something about my project. I want to fulfill this command, upps, this request. As I have already said here https://www.germanlook.net/forums/sh...postcount=1497 and next, my progress is very, very slow. Now, only a little Teaser |
Haha!
That is extremely cool! Can you keep it under the decklid? Any pics of the Variant as it is now? thanks! |
I hope it fits under the lid.
But in any case, I have to cut off the intake manifold. We will see. There are no pictures now. Everything is still original but disassembled and must be welded here and there a little bit. Now I first adjust the engine and transmission, so I can build the brackets. Then I want to build the brakes, then edit the body. |
Very cool!
(Psst: I like it so much as I am slowly preparing a rad build with a watercooled (6) unit into an early notch myself) |
In the type 3’s variant world, the only way to retain the stock engine hatch height would be to make a custom inlet maifold to reduce the height of the engine.
With my notchback it’s more like a Karmann Ghia now with the rear boot/trunk area as the engine bay. Fare play not only for keeping a Type 4 on the road but the STI transplant also.... hats off to you sir! https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1696681.jpg |
WOW... So Cool

Hi
A little bit more. As i said, my progress is very slow. Real life is always in pole position. The first two Pics showing the gearbox that gets installed. Third picture shows my dummy gearbox with which I want to calculate the location and mounts. |
What was the gearbox from?
|
5Speed Subaru WRX
Modified with Subarugear's parts. |

Because of pictures. Found a few older ones, but not much has changed so far. Was when moving into our hall, but have not been so much space for a long time |
Hello
I could use your help or input. In my project, I have difficulty finding suitable drive shafts. Unlike the Beetle or Bulli with Subaru transmission, the installation position is much lower and therefore I need shorter drive shafts. Even the shortest ones available (Type3 automatic, left shaft) are still a bit too long. You can cut drive shafts. The special company that does that, only cuts hollow drive shafts. All VW or Porsche drive shafts I would like to use, are made of full material. Someone an idea for a suitable solution? |
I suppose you really can only go with a custom axle then.
SAW makes those right? Probably only stateside companies do that kinda work... Or Finnish. |
Sway Away still makes axles in any length you could want.
These are Empi, and cost a lot less. Here with 1" narrowed arms and a 915 trans FWIW. They have no inside shoulder/stop for the CV, so they are forgiving WRT length.. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1682007.jpg |
Sheesh, Clatter, I didn't realize you were on here as well
Apologize for the slight hijack |
