Has anyone tried to build a locost using a impreza turbo engine they seem rather reasonably priced now a days.

i think some people have dreamed about it.

As speedy said, alot of people have dreamed about it,

I think theyr too wide being flat 4.

Damn shame

there is a kit out there that utilises this engine, forget which one it is..

The Murtaya from Adrenaline Motorsport uses a scooby as a donor. It's in the latest copy of totalkitcar, along with a review of the new Haynes roadster.

Doh.. Just beat me to it ;-)

i just did a lenghty reply...clicke to post.
i wasnt logged in...aaargh.

so do a search on here.....you find it has been asked a few times.

gearbox is the prob.

looks nice but just a little bit batman...

Here's a thought - could you fit the scooby engine in something sevenesue but fully faired, like maybe the fury?

Much better for a midi, take the whole front end to the back and get rid of the rear facing shaft output. fix the geometry of the suspension with solid links and stick a frame with a conventional double wishbones at the front, job done sub 3 seconds to 60 !

Takes the turbo 4 or the flat 6

I seem to recall a (non-turbo) Subaru-powered RWD Locost from New Zealand
on the YahooGroups Locost List.
The engine stuck out over the chassis rails.

Used an older pushrod Subie - just fits in a +4 frame iirc.

A WRX with the heads sticking out could have a bit of bling
