Question AXIS RACING MOTORS

Hi All,

http://www.axispowerracing.net/index.html

Quite interested in their Subaru stage 4 and stage 4.5 motors.

Has anyone had any experience with these or any of the other Axis engines?

The prices look reasonable, but I am not sure what import and shipping costs would add to the cost of getting the motor over here.

Thanks
Richard

I bought a stage 4 motor from Axis back in February. It's a quality piece of kit and Ron was an absolute gent from start to finish, no stupid question went unanswered and all e-mail were replied to same day. If you've any questions I'd say drop him an e-mail, he'll be able to give you up to date info.

There were a couple of threads at the time detailing the buying process and in particular the stage 4. Will post up the links.

What sort of budget are you on??? As I found it hard to stick to it, hence keeping it off the road for so long while I saved... I've spent way too much... but it should be good for the grin factor... its gonna go like a ****...

Yes, I've had excellent experience of Axis, Ron is very helpful

I'd call him and discuss your needs

How long did the engine take to arrive??

Were you hit badly with UK customs import tax??

Think Axis had it for 2 weeks. It was shipped via airfreight so only to 3 days to arrive.

Taxes weren't as bad as you'd think due to the way I bought the block and had Axis do the work on it.

Thanks for all the replies guys! This is definitely looking like a good option.

I am still in the planning stages at the moment ... need to work out my exact spec, so that I can cost it and start some hard saving.

Can't wait to get stuck in!
