Giday, Lads.  New guy here from Ottawa Canada. I've stuffed an EJ22 into the back of an old Porsche Speedster replica. Used the Kennedy adapter right onto a stock VW transmission, ripped out the FI and installed a Weber 32/36. Ignition is Ford EDIS running thru a Megajolt system. Saab rad up front and I've got a nice heater installed too. I

was lucky enough to find a hardtop for the car too. We've done over 75,000 km in the last five years.

 

Everything works pretty well but I'm bored and thinking of an upgraded transmission and a Frankenmotor this winter.

 

First and last photos are with earlier paint colour. Hardtop pic is new colour

Welcome to the USMB, Soobinatub!  Car looks great.  I imagine it's fun to drive.  Bet you get some looks as you glide by!  Is it a fiberglass body?  What does it weigh?

Yep, it's a fiberglass body. This car is old, like 1978 and was built in California. Intermeccanica has since moved to Vancouver, BC, Canada.

My car is based on a 1967 VW chassis. New IM's are custom tube chassis. My car weighs just under 1,800 with a quarter tank of gas.

 

It's a lot of fun and we travel in it a lot. We get good respect from any local mechanic because of the low bucks Soob conversion. It's not

a show car...it's a long distance driver.
