iv just bought a pre 90's (im pretty sure) subaru fiori n im plannin on doing it up a bit. iv been told i can buy a bodykit set that fits my car but i havnt been able to locate any on either the net or places in brisbane. Im also planning on doing a respray after iv installed the bodykit but im also keen on replacing the engine (its rather pissweak) or moding other areas. any help and advice with regards to both the bodykit and engine would be greatly appreciated. |

The problem you're gonna face re: engines is that there's nothing even remotely worth your time that'd fit into that thing, except maybe a turbo charade engine. |

if you're going to go through with it, and committed to wasting heaps of money (i'm not saying don't do it, but it honestly is a waste of money...although pretty much any modified car is), then heres a few ideas for you; |

Lol good luck with that pulling a forester... Is it just a standard forester or is it a GT or similar? Bodykits there are heaps of places to get them from (http://www.nextmod.com.au/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.flypage/product_id,1653/category_id,4/manufacturer_id,0/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,35/)... But your best bet for a 'different' look would be from japan... My choice would be the subaru GT kit if you dont already have it!! Best of luck with it champ! |

I'd be very doubtful of it being "easy" to put a moto engine in, especially given the different gearbox setup. You probably could do it, but without some pretty handy wrench skills you won't be doing it in the backyard. |

"your mate" fit a b4 engine in a fiori? BS. Look at the pic - THAT'S a fiori. You'd barely fit the battery for a b4 engine in there, let alone the whole thing. |

Ahh, the mighty M80, 800cc of diff-snapping power, horsepower output so small it's rated in shetland ponies. Great cars - had one since 2000. Not many options out there to give it a bit more zip. One could be to get hold of a Suby Vivio 650cc supercharged engine rated at 52 (or so) hp. Googling will bring up a heap of crap but in amongst the dross there is a fair bit of good guff available. An interesting project that has the potential to cost a heap of $$ for little gain. I left mine stock standard and just use it as a cheap runaround while the bank balance builds. |

I've heard of a couple of engines with 250fwkW, which is ridiculous for a 1.3L engine. |
