Fishtailing anyone?

Cant see at work so will send it to my phone and have a look...  Sounds awesome... Mate here has got the WRX motor in the back of his bay window bus but in a buggy would be hilarious!

15 sec quarter doesnt really sound all that impressive given the weight and the engine size  :undecided:

This is the part that caught my attention the most, not that good is it considering.

The ebay listing has it showing as only 145bhp from that Subaru engine and it doesn't appear to be a turbo charged engine, so it's not going to be that fast really.
