My cousin Steve loves his Subaru Liberty B4 Twin Turbo.



He used to race it at various tracks around Sydney, Eastern Creek, Oran Park, and so on. Despite the fact that it goes from 0 to 160 in AAAAAGH SHIIIIIIIIIT LEMME OUT! it just wasn't fast enough. His times always appeared as the first name after the WRXs. He didn't like that much. A few weeks ago he pushed it a little hard, the tyres were a bit cold, and suddenly he was doing some sideways gardening and heading for a tyre wall. He missed everything, luckily, but it made him realise the Liberty B4 was a) a little too heavy, and b) too nice to bend. ([livejournal.com profile] makovette Notice the lack of Rice!)

He needed something to monster the V8s. So he bought this:

Escort with a Cortina motor. 2 litres, 4 cylinders of V8 Monstering. The little 'scorty out-accellerates, out-brakes, and out-corners almost everything.

Steve likes his Escort.

This one has the SOHC, with twin Webber carbies and a set of extractors. No blowers required, just a damn fine engine.

Ah, Webers... what glorious bits of kit, those things.
