This Manxster has just been finished off by Myers Manx inc as a demonstrator. Looks pretty trick.

Should give some ideas to the Buggy heads looking at doing a subaru transplant.

I'm not sure if I like the Radiator setup but I guess it's one solution.

Hmmm.... all that extra downforce on the rear should really get the front-end floating at speed!!

I have to admit, I kinda like it though! 🙂

Looks the biz, but like you said, I'm not sold on the 'wing thing' at the back.

Have they changed the overall lines of the body ? looks different to a normal manx subtly....

I'm no buggy expert though.

phatrat REALLY!

Yes it is, but this version of it has a new subframe on the front of the pan.

A Manxter however uses a beetle pan.

So is Brendan looking at doing some of these wings? I'm sure they could be made to fit a Manx.

The car above will be my next project ( been collecting parts ), with a few changes along the way just to suit my needs

Removable roof section
better lights some thing late model like a up grade kit for a STI subaru
I will run my type three auto ( three speed ) with a up grade clutch kit I have been working on for the past year .>manual boxes just dont do it for me and a hate changing gears in the sand .
I run a ej20 or sr20 turbo
Moose > chris is making a front end very close to this and looks very good a strong most of all VERY LIGHT , running big arms and stubs .
When a clear my shed of my current three projects ,I talk to brendan about the idea , but I do know he is very keen to do some thing more modern .
