Sweet82 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 This is the rock crawler that has the modified Subaru STi motor in it. These came from the UROC competition in St. George last weekend. There was much talk of the motor in the crowds. I was suprised how many people were aware it was a Subaru. http://www.pirate4x4.com/gallery/stgeorge05/aar http://www.pirate4x4.com/gallery/stgeorge05/aat I never got a close shot of the motor and was never able to talk with the guy. I do have some video of it in action and it seems like a capable rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
