Hi all, I,m looking for advise on getting my van converted to Subaru. Your thoughts on up to date garages/mechanics that are known for quality conventions using Rjes gear. I,ve looked at wiki pages but it all seems a bit dated. Thanks in advance.

I could 1 million % recommend Si (toomanytoys) but not sure what work he's taking on at the mo ? If you want a factory lookin finish..... look no further. Here's a snap of what magic he's worked on my little lady. Bloody nice chap too.

It gets even more gorgeous underneath.

That is a piece of work. What’s the mpg? Not that it matters for you have to look at that every time you lift the hood. Still regret being to late on the up take of your dj [SLEEPY FACE]

Yehhh sorry dan. I'm guessin around 22mpg but not really too fussed to be honest. Almost complete so happy days in the summer all being well.

Call me silly but I do like the symmetry of the Subaru's (and not having a tangle of pipes and ancillaries all over the top of the engine). This is an ej20.. definitely get more than 22mpg, but definitely not 30

If my Subaru conversion looked as pristine as that I would have a perspex engine lid....and never drive it incase it got dirty. Show off

Well... That was 3 years ago.. so no... It doesn't look as clean right now

All of the loom nice and tidy on the rear bulkhead as well and will simply coveri it with a suitable protector.
I have to say........if your looking for a factory finish and an honest job then Si Witmore is your man.

Hi
May I ask what induction pipe you used?
Thank you
Viktor

Morning

The intake pipe is one that RJES supply which fits with the standard Subaru air filter box.
You can then use a snorkle pice to feed up the rear pillar to the air intake louvers.
Also nice and quiet and looks pretty factory.

Cheers
Jim
