LOL, misschien willen ze wel ruilen!

[Roy RS]

Dat is wel echt serieus aangepakt!

[Petrolhead Tom]

Echt een fantastisch project!

heel apart, wel wat laag qua bodemvrijheid onder de kar, maar is gemaakt voor vlak asfalt zo te zien dus no problem dan.

verder

And I say vast because there is plenty of clearance all around the engine, one of the benefits of designing a car around a boxer motor. The 86 really is made for swaps!

das opzich een mooie plus.

maar achter in de kofferbak snap ik geen bal van...ja begrijp voor de gewichts balans maar hoe werken die koelers?
en die ventilatoren...staan die op blazen of zuigen zeg maar, ik bedoel gaat de stroom lucht nu via de radiateurs in de auto of uit? beide raar, doch voor een driftcar only zal het wel 'kunnen' waarschijnlijk, anders heel vreemde opstelling denk

Ik vind dit soort projecten helemaal niks. Ze passen zoveel aan dat de gebruikte auto er eigenlijk niet meer toe doet. Ja het is een GT86 maar eigenlijk is het gewoon totaal wat anders onder de streep.

voor de gewone straat rijder idd niet, dan wellicht meer zoiets als deze Subary BRZ
lijkt hier vrij normaal

The Subaru BRZ, Toyota GT86 and Scion FR-S are all great cars, and the source of their greatness is the perfect weight distribution, coupled with a low center of gravity, lots of tactile feedback and an intentional lack of grip which makes the car even more fun than it should be.

However, some have criticized it for not having enough power to really work the chassis, and while a few have fitted the car with turbochargers and superchargers, this is the first V8 engine swap that we know of. The work was carried out by Weapons Grade Performance (WGP), and their modified BRZ now boasts an LS2 V8, from the Pontiac GTO, which makes 400 hp.

Now, with the new V8, the car is probably transformed, but is it better? Well, considering the fact that the V8 weighs a lot more than the boxer engine the car comes with, and the fact that it is also taller and therefor raises the car’s center of gravity, we don`t think the car is any better in the corners - in fact we think it`s worse.

Still, for showing off, doing burnouts and regular driving, this V8-powered BRZ is definitely good, but at actually being driven and being fun, we say the standard car can`t really be improved on, especially not in such a vulgar way. Subaru themselves have said that there is not enough room in the engine bay for an intercooler, so the STi version of the BRZ will not have forced induction, yet here come WGP with this impressive engine swap to prove them wrong.
