EJ22 Powered Manx is alive !!!

Well we just finished an EJ 22 Powered Manx, passed engineering first go and hoots along. Funny what 140HP in a 600 kg buggy can do .. It is very smooth, runs a nice temp and pulls 4th gear up hills that were previously a challenge to 3rd. I have been in a few Buggies over the years with some bad ass engines. This thing would be the fastest and most useable power of them all. You need to drive it to understand but for all those doing a conversion it is well worth the effort..... Pics to follow...

It understeered when it was VW powered.....it also has a 2 inch lift kit in it, so it has to go real low to look low.

Hi Brad,

one question: is there a cat-converter installed to the Manx??
Can't identify it on the pictures. Got another rumor: EJ engines won't run without the cat-converter! I don't believe it, but do you have any experience without a cat??

The manx has a cat on it, the subie runs just fine without one.
