Soobinatub Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 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 Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soobinatub Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 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.
