The car and engine were not successful at all, move of history blames the engine but even when Coloni changed his cars over to Cosworth V8's they still didn't qualify. The rights to the Subaru engine design were on sold and later versions of the motor were used in Ocean racing boats. In fact there are still a number of them around today.

I won't be racing it as the engine was just to unreliable and if I damage it the valve of the car would drop so it is destined as a show car.
What I also have is a later C4 chassis which never had the Subaru motor in it but I could fit a different motor to. I also have the original plans for the C3 race car which cover about 300 pages. A few years back I managed to get the engine plans which cover all the different version of the engine built during the Subaru period and after. Some of these design have Supercharger version for the ocean race motor.
