QUOTE: from Renegade Hybrids
"To increase strength, reliability, and performance, we have designed the Cayman kit around aBoxster Stransaxle. The Cayman transaxle was engineered lighter with physically smaller gears and shafts, and the ratios were very short, which is not favorable or strong enough for the V8. TheBoxster Stransaxle has repeatedly taken abuse over 600HP in our Boxsters, 914’s, & kit cars, and we have yet to see one fail. Even the gear ratios and optional upgrades are quite favorable to the V8 conversion using the Boxster S 6 speed transaxle. We understand that this means you will need to source a good used Boxster S tranny from a salvage yard, but your Cayman transaxle has value equivalent to the Boxster S in many cases."

I have been to Renegade. Many cool ideas and cool cars there.
By The Way, Years ago I bead blasted all the hardware and then nickle plated them.
Some we replaced with new hardware.
I am changing the headlights so they will be fixed and not pop ups.
Doing body work, and painting, and paint correction.
The whole body single stage gloss white first, and then more colors added.
