Tampa Subaru conversion
Any one in the Tampa area running around with this conversion? I would love to see one in person, because I am strongly considering this path over a type 4. This is for my build of a 1303 as daily driver.

No.. BUT! I applied for a job down there. I know.. no help at all.. but I just thought I would throw that in as I'm pretty excited to the thought of moving down there. But I would say to do it!

Re: Tampa Subaru conversion
subaru motors are good, but you could go with a waterboxer like i did with my 1303.... just a thought.
its a stock 2.1 wbx with the newer amc heads, running about 8lbs of boost, megasquirt managment for fuel and spark, modified type1 cb turbo header, cb fuel rails, cb oil filler on case, and turbo is from a volvo s70.

I can't think of any subaru beetle swaps, but there's a subaru vanagon swap, and my Ecotec bay swap.

Re: Tampa Subaru conversion
Did you ever pursue the suby swap? If so, how'd it turn out and do you have any pics. I'm in Polk County, FL and I'm gonna do a full swap with a subarugears converted 5 speed...eventually.

Always loved that top 3/4 view of that 1303 car.
