Question 915 best year choice

Looking to hook up a Subie to a 915 tranny in a 1600 lb. kit car. What would be the best year to use? Gearing? Mostly looking at sporty performance and a nice freeway flyer. (okay, the occasional smoky burnout... )

Mine's RHD... I don't really want to replace the other pedals as the brake master is nice with the 996 brakes... Do you think there is enough space between the tunnel and brake m/c if I do some tweaking?

You may want to consider the size of the CV's as well. I have made many posts regarding this. Just do a search..

@Lee: You made a release arm from a 915 and a VW unit: Interesting: did the weld hold up???
Tnx,
Walter
