cruzin Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 just joined the USMB site. Was looking for information about subaru in general. Maybe someone can clue me in about this question. If someone wanted to build a trike (rear wheel drive) with a subaru engine and automatic transmission what would be the best and easyiest of the subarus to use.

rainman19154 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hahaha nice idea.... I think I remember seeing old VeeDub engines dropped into trikes. Probably the simplest would be one of the older carb fed engines... I don't know about the tranny/ RWD setup. I'm sure some of the gurus here will have some thoughts. Welcome!!

MilesFox Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 a FWD 5spd! but the orientation would be like that of a mid engine, opposite of a VW. unless you can flip the diff to rotate the other way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a vw trike at present but would entertain the idea of a rear wheel drive with automatic. I know almost nothing about subaru cars. It justs looks like the older ones would be easy to work on like the vw. And using one would put the weight of the trike more centered unlike the vw rear engine. thanks again.

MilesFox Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 if you built the trile from a subaru rear suspension, the fwd trans will fit between the axles as if it were the rear diff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
