Spyder gets a rebuild*update..USDM STI 2.5 engine build 12/02/06


I've started to give the Spyder replica a rebuild, starting with the Subaru engine and gearbox. This is what I'm heading for. The colour is not the usual silver as I wanted something different but still an original Porsche colour.
You can see the Spyder as it is now at the link below.

Inlet porting and more powder coating....
It will also have original style wide 5 alloy wheels with steel centers riveted in as per the original. New turbo and period interior. But good for 150MPH...:thumb
