Words cannot encompass the want.

It's local to me too just to torment me even further. Somebody buy this now so I can pay you $1000 a month until it's mine.

Drive fast and get there before the accident happens.

Who cares if it's safe, the first time you pull into War Mart and pop that canopy and everyone stares, it would be worth it.

something like that deserves a 2.3 type 4 at the least. I wonder how Subaru power would fit?

Those are very cool-looking cars. Technically crappy cars - it's a VW Beetle underneath - but very cool-looking.

From the look of the dash, I wonder if it's LHD/RHD swappable.

So cool! I wanted one of those or a Cimbria SS so bad when I was in Jr. High.

Last time I checked you could get a Jdm ej20 twin turbo for $500. That plus a call to megasquirt and Kennedy engineering and you have 240 or so horses ready to go

I've always been partial to the Coyote. Ever since watching Hardcastle and McCormick as a kid. Still think it's dead sexy!

I would keep it aircooled for convenience. Type 4 engine bored out to 2.3 liters with either fuel injection or dual carbs and a 911 style fan shroud to make it look pretty and help it sound mean

Pst.... wheel base is within 1/2 inch of an 818....that will fix the bug chassis issue.

Though i said it's a death trap, i still have a place for it in my want list. Awesome looking car, i do want one if i came across one at a right price

something that light.. all you need to do is put in stronger torsion bars and shocks to keep the suspension from moving.. instant handling

Stay away. (From the pics it actually appears to be a UK or European location).

Have always wanted to subi swap any of these so performance approaches looks on one of these kits. Either that or leave it VW and just drive the hell out of it.

Megasquirt is awesome, but when it comes to Subaru, I'd do a Carberry ROM. No contest.

Also, if the EJ20 twin turbo is available for $500, I may buy one on general principles.

I'd like to know how they managed to squeeze 350bhp w/o Nawwwss out of that "Porsche flat four" that looks awfully like a VW type 4 engine that may or may not be from a 914. Just adding Webers isn't going to do that.
