The key there being "designed by Yamaha" i.e. Japanese designed which is why it was a good engine. The Taurus was a terrible car.

I'm no expert, but I think those rims are a little too skinny for this project... jk

What I want to see next is a youtube video of this monster on a track from all perspectives. Drive by's, in-car cam, and from the back from a standing start!

Great work. I sure wish I had a shop and the cash to do something with my boxster on a scale like this. It's really impressive work.

I do hope you'll offer Subaru conversions for customers at some point in the future.

Very impressive! The project has come a long way since its inception. Your fabrication skills are outstanding.
( the view from the rear reminds me of Barbara Streisand for some reason...)
