Well after many months of planning and researching and changing my mind I have finally finished my EJ 22 Conversion on the Dual Cab kombi I picked up a few months back. Although the body is far from finished and needs the rust removed and a respray it is a work in progress. After driving her home this arvo and pulling up Samford range in 4th gear as 80 kmph with ease I can happliy say .. I love it .... mmm SUBI POWER !!! The Conversion was done using the new Custom Offroad Conversion kit which has been specifically designed to fit the EJ 22 into the bay window kombi. Makes the entire job not only very easy but also look real good. Custom 16 Mags wrapped in 215 x 65 x 16 Desert Duellers. I will lower it a few inches later on. The radiator is loacted underneath and is a custom unit supplied by Custom Offroad. It runs 2 x 12 " thermos in a custom suround. Profile is good and cooling seems fine thus far. The shrouds are louvered to get air flow and keep the profile low. All water lines are high grade suction pipe with hydraulic clamps. The engine is an EJ 22 which is a 2.2L Twin cam EFI engine from a Subaru Liberty. mmm Fuel Injection ... Although not completed in this picture you can see the inverted throttle body and the Custom Header tank. The big down side to any Subi Conversion is the lack of ground clearance. With a Custom Offroad SUmp and cross member kit this is no longer a problem. Sitting 85mm shorter you get back to almost factory clearance. Custom Exhaust also keeps it neat a and tight. Walla a car with not only character but a hell of a lot of fun to drive. Furure plans will be : Lowering Stereo - Done Crusie Control - Done Heater - Done Air Con Custom Interior Full respray and rust removal Enjoy it ... mmm SUBI !!!!!!

Tow test time ..... soon I will be towing and carrying around 4 Tonne from Vic to Brisbane with my D/C Kombi, that should test the EJ22 conversion once and for all. I will post some pics soon as it looks pretty funny having a Dual Cab Kombi towing a tractor on a car trailer .....
