Another SVX Trike
I was over at Liberty Subaru the other day and picked up these photos. This is not as pretty as ones posted by eaglekids in the MOD section. This version does have a little more engine compartment cooling
Peace,
John

I would like to see it with "quick change" Oab au (Harvey) developed for the auto trans. That "quick change" gear change added about 120 hp right around 35 mph to the stock set-up.

I met the guy who built that, and bought the windshield from his donor car.

No offense meant to the builder, but probably not too much. My guess is that he's a welder or machinist or works somewhere where scraps of steel are easy to come by.

I'm sure there's a boat load of time put into it, and more skill than I can imagine, but cost wise it could probably be done for $1k???
