Yeah like Woody said if your vans not lowered chuck big tyres on the back. I have standard steels and tyres but I'm lowered so don't think I could go much bigger. As for the gear box a 6 rib is a 2.0 box, I thought a 1700 and 1800 both had the five rib but I might be wrong. Chris, can you tell me about the rad pack. From RJES? Does it come with all the pipes ready to connect up? Also where did you get your exhaust/manifold from?

I'm not sure tbh. The guy who fitted mine bought everything from Rjes. I'm not sure if the pipes come with the pack or he got them separate. Give Richard a ring. The manifold comes from Rjes and jay custom made the rest.

yeah, TSR are still going as i've made enquiries with them about doing mine. I've been trying to find people who have used them as i've read a horror story about them on VZI when researching the topic, which is a shame as they've quoted me a really good price compared to some of the other companies doing conversions. they've been established since the 90's and done 100's of conversions, surely 1 unsatisfied customer doesn't make them shite?

As there's a lot of money involved I'd visit TSR if it wasn't too far to check the place and the people out.
I'd also ask for customer references and to be able to contact them. They won't give you those who aren't happy but talking to the satisfied customers may gain some useful nuggets of info.
If they have any written warranty info that might help as well.

If they have any written warranty info that might help as well. yeah, that sounds a sensible thing to do. I've put the feelers out on a few other sites and Subaru conversion groups etc... to try and get a bit of info on them. won't hurt to ask for a few customer references though as it is a big spend getting it done. I don't suppose if any of you know of anyone relatively close to Portsmouth that do conversions, or could be trusted to carry one out, as everywhere that do them seem to be miles away.

Is it only one person complaining ? Usually with poor companies you can find loads. You always get one unhappy customer.

What court cases? after some more reading up on them, it seems that they're well known for all the wrong reasons. there's quite a bit about them on VWKD and found some more on VZI. apparently they've been taken to court on more than one occasion which is enough to put me off. when I'm looking at paying out that much money, i want to be put at ease and not worry about any possible drama's occurring. i just wanted to get the feelers out in the Subaru groups to see if anyone had anything good to say about them? the only good testimonials i can find are on their own web page, nothing anywhere else on the web.

Understand your reluctance to spend good money

Bus has passed its MOT the Subaru definitely won't pass with the subframe as rusty as it is, so this weekend I am going to rip the engine and box and loom out. Should be fun, oh and buy the wife a new car!!
