stitchdup Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 This is a review for the eightyone suburu engine. I am currently building a vw karmann ghia with one of these engines so thought some of you might find this useful. The engine comes in approx 20 parts and only a couple of parts required a very minor amount of cleaning/trimming. A couple of parts were a little fiddly to get in place but that is down to my finger size most likely. It went together pretty easy otherwise and I can happily reccomend it for vw builds. I haven't pictured the belts but they are equally as nice as the rest of the engine. Mine came in grey resin with no bubbles anywhere.

89AKurt Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I have the Hobby Design EJ20 kit, this the same but different brand? It also has the radiator, battery, strut brace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubaja Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 This is just a copy of the revell engine. 89akurt, the HD one is much much better. Not the same mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredRPG Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Glad you posted this, I've been looking for one of these but can't remember where I saw it. Where did you get it (or any one of the others recommended)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
