Wally, SMR reconditioned engine costs 1200 euros. Rest is new turbo and injectors, other parts used. That's "new" engine, You'll agree.
My source for cheap Subaru parts is SMR engines in UK, and Subarubreakers. But I agree. No more that subject.
Tell me what I can do with 3500 euros on my Type4. I'm asking You because you've gone far away in this aircooled world. I allready have 915 box, alu arms, front Alcon race discs 305 mm with Brembo 4-pot calipers, and Bilstein's on 25.5 sways rear and standard front beam. Even 4500 euros for the engine is OK if I can keep it old school.
I want fast road car. I don't care about track, because I do that too often in other cars. Fast, reliable grand tourer is what I want to make.
And, above all, thank You for making one of the most impressive Type 4 engines. Now tell me (because there is obvious reason I'm asking You), how would You spend 4500 euros on Type 4 engine and what it could make?
Break the myth with 4500 euros worth of parts...
