Questions about ricolas ride

[SuperRSi]

Ricola,

I just didn't know any better when I bought the 04 STi engine. It will be interesting. I already had the 930 LSD trans so in it goes. The poor car has been waiting for completion for about six years now, I have owned it for over ten. I have an engine kit (nickies, Klaus shroud, etc.) but it was cheaper to buy the STi than finish the T4... I will finish it someday and put it into the Manx. I just cannot afford two projects at once and must get the convert on the road soon or sell it all. That is the problem with these long projects, they absorb chunks of money for years and then you wonder how you got so much money in them.

Thanks,

Randy

Don't mean to highjack the thread, but...

Randy, what engine adapter are you using for the 930/WRX ?
And how did you fine dealling with MBT for the uniball suspension.

BTW: Ricola has been a very bad influence on a number of us.
My new IRS pan for my 63 ragtop turned into a 5 year plan porsche speedster with 915/WRX with uniball suspension, Leda shocks and 944 brakes.

I am planning on a Kennedy adapter, but have promised myself to do no more on the convert until the Manx is on the road. Thus I am concentrating on getting it going in the next few weeks.

Thanks,

Randy

I've ordered the adapter kit from DS tuning now and have the 996 brakes on. Will start to do the cutting soon! My plan is to sort out the front end for the radiator mountings and then turn the car around in the (single) garage so I can sort out the rear.

How it looks now:


I'm guessing that the weight of the subaru engine will level out the ride height nicely.

Progress has been kinda slow recently. I've got the G50 gearbox now and the radiator install is just about done, I've also started modifying the dash for the Subaru instrument cluster.

Looking good!

Wouldn't the mounting of the G50 trans mean you will have to totally cut up the torsion housing and...and..and...and dismantle that nice looking convertible?
