thats pretty cool. i know a bloke who was fitting a subaru WRX motor in to a Niki 650, but i have no idea if he finished it.
Hi guys,
Thought u may be interested in my watercooled vw, although the engine is in the other end. The conversion is now 3 years & 55'000klms old & I have owned the car for 15 years now.
Daily driven & raced with the NSW Porsche club for the last 7 years.
150kw on 8 pounds (wastegate pressure).
regards
Jak

What’s behind you doesn’t matter..

VW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

Hey! I remember seeing your car at Boris' picnic thing early December last year. You were the one doing donuts in the dirt with a RC car too right? Anyway, I was marvelling at how great the car looks but I had no idea you had a WRX engine in it. Like the wheels too, though I reckon it looks better with the Porsche Fuchs now that I've seen your photo gallery!
