AWD subaru powered fd?

Oh yeah! Lol. I always think Australian when I hear the accent though XD

I'm currently taking out the Rew in it and starting the teardown on the Subaru. I will post some more pics when I make a little more progress! Should have it out next weekend

Greg is bad ass. Amazing stuff there. I'm not with pockets like that, but I'm hoping to create something just as unique and great

Yep it was Rod Millen. I saw him compete in the 100 acre woods in Missouri when I was in
college as a corner worker for the rally. He was driving a AWD FB at the time. I
have some old photos laying about somewhere.

I would love to see those if you find them! Inspiring stuff that is! It will be so weird to feel a fd pulling like it will.

I thought Rod's cars were still rotary though. At least the FC he raced on Pikes Peak, right?

Yup, the Pike's peak FC and all the previous RX7's and RX3's he raced were all rotary, but he also ran with an AWD turbo Mazda 323 (4-banger). In the early '90s he parted ways with Mazda and started racing Toyota's.

All true!

Subarus obtained, one I decided to keep. Super clean rhd legacy gt. The sti was torn down and the Rew will be out next week when I have more room in the shop lol
