WTR: In a Suby Conversion, Where are the Bay Area folks with conversions? Options

[matthepcat]

Gents,

I think I need a ride in a Subaru swapped conversion to help push me over the motivational hump. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I am thinking an EZ30R or an EJ turbo series motor. ( don't have the skills or motivation to do out of the box like Mike or what Andrew is starting)

I came from the Subaru world before 914's, so it's a warm & fuzzy.


Any bay area folks have a running swap I could take a ride in sometime this summer?




Thanks!

Matt

I added a pole for your opinion ( cuz they are fun )

Well I got to ride in a beautiful one a few weeks back, but with a 901 trans.

It was one of the first 2.5L WRX engine swaps done by renegade.

Power was all over the place, but to be honest the 901 ( which was one of the best shifting ones I have ever driven), was still clunky.

I also feel that the stock ratios do not take advantage of the WRX torque curve.

Still excited to get a ride in a full Subaru & trans swap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I know of one that's gonna be at RRC but it's a bit far for you to go unless you've already planned for it. They pull like crazy and the shifting is what we've come to expect from driving a Subaru- tight and precise, definitely worth the cash and time for a sweet setup. I'm cheating- putting the automatic in my conversion... then a manual after I get one set up the way I want.
