Yes, I used to have a car with tiptronic.. after the initial novelty, I almost never used it and just stuck it in "D". This is why I only buy manual 928's.

A family member just got a car with DSG, and its nice, but I'd still rather row the gears myself.

The rears are actually a very common swap. I don't the pricing is ever a difference either so it just makes sense to swap them out for a lot of guys.

Hi Tony, my Z had an RPM stage 4 trans/rear and it was absolutely bulletproof. It would definitely be nice to have in a 928 for sure. I'll have to look into the whole swap once I'm back into a 928.

The seat rails on 928s are more or less mounted in the side of the seat and fitting aftermarket seats that mostly have rails at the bottom is very difficult because the seating height goes up and headroom becomes an issue. You would need to heavily modify those rails or completely eliminate them and then room under them disappears. If you mount them in the back, the floor would need to be cut.

It could just be mounted on the floor too on the passenger side of the car as well in an orientation that could take the slack out of the cable too. Either way, It can be done. The floor would need to be cut either way for wiring and the cable. A box could be built to 'hide' the module on the floor too.

At the same time, this could just be one of many kits later offered over time. I'm a good half decade away from doing something like this. Technology will get better and electronics always get smaller.

Again, just drop in the entire vette drivetrain, the ECM controls the tranny. There is a built 5.3L LM7 bolted to the vette 4l60e being dropped into a 928. I told him to start a build thread on 944hybrids or here.

I like my motor and would prefer to at least keep that part of the drivetrain Porsche still. Afterall, I painted a lot of it real pretty-like too.

Going to build my Billet radio delete faceplate this weekend to mount my 52mm digital Water and Oil pressure gauges....

After 2k miles on the swap, the only hiccup has been the High pressure PS line (inadequate).I had it redone as it blew off at compression fitting when I cranked the wheel 100% to left. Good luck it happened while I was at the shop near Midwest Hose, they made me one on the spot. Originally, the blue fittings were actually fitted to stainless-braided 3/8" ID teflon, so I made a rubber temp hose to limp me over to the hose shop..... Originally I had a 45* compression fitting at the rack with a 34" hose. I had them make me a 36" hose with a straight fitting at rack and 90* at the GM PS pump.....works perfectly...

Gonna have some made up in the very near future. What size or part # are the banjo fittings? Also sent you a pm about the caliper brackets.

Both -6AN. The rack side is a banjo to 6AN. The pump is GM o-ring to 6AN.

Radio delete mod for another few lbs shaved...

Epoxy setting up....
How is the hazard button locked into place?

XSchop's 928 LS1:

I've read that the LS ECM puts out a 4cyl. signal
Got rid of the 4.7K resistor and opened the 928 tach. It's just like the 944 tach with a potentiometer, so I dialed it 180 degrees back (counterclockwise) and it's reading spot on....

The button just pulls straight off, the switch body is the same as the pod switches.
