Default Subaru power, 3 seats, mid engine, RWD

Hope you like guys. http://www.scoobybits.co.uk/vstorm_blog02.htm



350 miles so far and few little tweaks/mods needed.
Its of for ECU upgrade Friday then hoping to get some proper shakedown /testing done.
It is the most involving drive I have ever experienced, truly adictive.
The car available for test drives if anyone tempted!

Cheers fella, I cant take all the credit had some great help some paid some unpaid! Lots of input by many top guys.
And tbh I have seen "kit cars" before nothing comes close to this thing IMHO fab! Hope we can sell some..

Hello, yeah it certainly gives food for thought doesnt it, we hope to have three different spec cars at LLandow 10th September, also it is organised by Complete Kit car so huge array of different kits..be warned hough have a go and u will want one!
Self build it is on the door of a well specced Caterham/Westy but offers a twist with seats and power. The central driving position just works fantastic. We have had lots of feedback and so far all good.
If you wish it can be partial build or turn key liek this one.
The other car in build has a RCM NEW engine, modded heads, RCM turbo and Simtek... this ones quick that one will have about 100bhp more
If you wanna book a closer look at Llandow get in touch will set aside some time for you.

Cheaper than r500 caterfield
Half price a decent Atom.

Self build 12/14k.full comprehensive kit
Factory turn key £21,995.
Many options as you can imagine.

You can get chassis initially get it rolling, then running gear from donor or new, then bodywork and rest etc
this car got few extra's RCM engine goodies, uprated flywheel clutch, Simtek shortly, then we have expensive wheels, removable wheel, diffrent mirrors/lights etc so spent a fair bit on extras but thats hows they get u!

cheers fella..power wise dunno tbh!
0.6 bar = quicker than my old 550 bhp Impreza, quicker time and terminal speed, same goes against the Murtaya (Subaru powered) that was similar spec but 1.2 bar this is far quicker , very much playing and checking everything, its getting mapped very soon I expect it will see 300 bhp./650 kilo wet.. so plenty
The next one should see 400 plus bhp
