Have seen this one on ebay? "turbo pistons"
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Subar...1%7C240%3A1318
"The engine in this car has turbo pistons, which reduce the compression ratio to 8:1 (OEM pistons from Subaru EJ22T turbo Legacy engines, taken out of new shortblocks by Crawford Performance) and allow the engine to run on regular unleaded". Interesting claims, but somehow sounds fishy to me.

Re: Have seen this one on ebay? "turbo pistons"
Hes crazy because the math says Ej22T pistons would be alot lower than 8:1 (7.1:1 is more like it).

I keep checking from time to time for another SVX in my region... Now I am gonna call the guy in Dubai, I am not interested in the one here but rather the couple ones here. But either way I cannot register them back home EDIT: Contacted this guy, he said there are 8 SVXi in the entire UAE: - One for him - 3 for his friend - Two for different individuals - Two FOR SALE One of those for sale has 150Kkms with a gearbox issue. They want $2700 for it and the other is European with 250Kkms and a passenger side minor damage for $2000... I asked him for PICTURES which he is gonna send Fingers CROSSED (I don't care if I cannot register it, I just need another SVX)
