914World.com _ 914World Garage _ OT: New Speedster Replica Car

Posted by: ThinAir914 May 10 2005, 03:40 PM

I've got a great son-in-law. He sent me this link about a new Speedster replica in Australia. It's powered by a Subaru WRX engine and available in a mid-engine configuration. It looks like it may eventually be available outside of Australia.

Pretty cool. I like the ones that come from Canada, always wanted one with AC and PW.

Very cool... bulging fenders and all. An STI engine would be crazy in that.

I wanna do a 550 Spyder kit some day. Like this...

120+hp with the original style suspension was a handfull back then...and now. Hopefully they did some upgrades as well.

Otherwise it's just another straight line rocketship.....

I'm with you; I think that 550's are really cool and dream of building one.
