Subject:      Re: Inside a Subi engine EJ22

OK so why spend $5k for an EJ22 to just drive at a same 65 MPH as we WXB owners do? I am trying to say even if you spend $9k for an EJ25 you will still be out run by those cars regardless you can or can ot race. Regardless you want or you do not want to race.

OK, I think you have totally missed the point here of the Subaru (or any other) conversion. It's not just about speed. Sure, you can do 70-80 with your old WBX-but for how long? At what cost? How reliable is it? How fast can you climb mountain grades? How long do think WBX parts are going to be around? A vehicle worth $1,000.00? Yeah, it would be stupid to convert a clapped out passenger van full of rust-but a nice condition Westy? Absolutely worth it! Jeff
