Obow - I've seen one of these. They are frighteningly quick. Not as bad/good as a guy I work with who managed to lever a 280 BHP Sti engine into a Justy (for scientific research). This made his impreza seem positivly sloth like. Only problem was getting it round corners and stopped. Official figures where 0-brown underwear in about 4 seconds. He gave up after a month and put the engine back where it belonged

hehehe now THAT sounds like fun.... shame he hadn't sorted the brakes etc from the Sti as well....

I've posted this before but Subaru have prototyped a Justy based super car using a normally aspirated EJ30 6cyl boxer engine from the Legacy, mid-mounted a-la Clio V6.

The car uses the 17" wheels, Brembo brakes, suspension and six speed box from the STI7 along with a number of alloy suspension and body panels to keep the weight below 1000 kilos.

Code-named 'Swallow' there are no plans to put the car into production

....and there's a bloke in Canada rallies a Justy with WRC engine.

Been on Eurosport...spends more time in snowbanks than on the stage

There is a garage in Oldham, near Bedford Accumulator Lucas Agents, whose name eludes me for the minute, who put a Ford Capri 2.8 Litre Injection engine and box into a Lada (the old Fiat 132 bodied one).
He said it was quite quick in a straight line but handled like a JCB with the bucket up, but still suprised a lot of people.
