thanks for input. I am surprised you don't have better performance? w/ 144v thru a 10" it should put out plenty to go 80 and accelerate pretty well?
porsche 924s possible project
I have a line on a 924s at a pretty good price in pretty good shape. still running well as ICE so I can probably sell the motor... well maintained 153k miles, nothing obviously shot.
anyway, I note that there have been a couple done in this group, but did not read thru entire threads. I would like to know:
- what motors may fit well? ... looks like no limit really since it is not a transverse. I would think seriously about a siamese 8", or an 11" to make it really fun. BUt maybe a 9" is enough? might even have to spring for a zilla to do it justice rather than a more tame curtis 1231.
- tranny adaptor... I have not checked w/ CanEV... but are there adaptors available off the shelf? I don't want to have to pull tranny and mail it away. I do want to retain clutch.
...any other gotchas with this car?

somewhat sadly I have decided to pass on this one. Mostly because I really need to be able to get my kids in the car on errands, and not even my 9 yr old fits comfortably in the back of the 928s!
If anyone else wants it..... its in pretty darn good shape, and still running well on ICE, for $3000 in santa fe, nm.
It was re-painted a couple years ago, interior is 'good'. 153k well maintained miles, new front shocks and new starter.

damned kids.. always getting in the way of our terrific, oh so terrific, plans! 
Haha, I'm in the same boat but my son is only 4 (he's a bit taller than average) and he fits perfectly in the back of my 944 (for a couple more years anyways) but for a size perspective, sitting properly in the seat, his back touches the back of the seat and his feet touch the floor. I did some sunroof work sitting in the back seat and I can say it's not a place I would like to be while driving.
Hopefully there is a slightly more roomy project in your future.
