My favorites are the VW busses/Vanagans with Turbo or H6 Subies.

Oh hell yes... I have an H6 in a 1970 Porsche 914...these cars are/were sniffed at by Porsche snobs as "VW" Porsches, not worthy of recognition, until you stick a Japanese motor into one of them, then WOW!!! I've committed a sacrilege...btw, 1800 lbs is very doable, as my 914 weighs 1900 lbs dry, awaiting a atnk full of gas and me...very, very fast with 300 hp...

yeah, I would think the closest competition to the 818 is a suby powered porsche 550 spyder

It would be cool if people could post other Subaru based mid-engined cars here. Interesting to see approaches other builders took.

^^Always loved the Saker stuff. Though I found it hard to find any sort of proper website for them. They seem to move around alot.

this one has a modular frame so you can either use a subaru flat4 or a v4 bike engine simply by swapping out the engine cradle
