Want a type 4 but put off by experts?

You can actually price it up on Fellow's website. The 20% VAT added on at the end smarts a bit.
There are a lot of options.

 

Will have a look but i think ive established that selling my turnkey type 4 will leave me significantly short on t he cost!

 

2011 cost that included VAT.

Am guessing it's gone up as per @Baysearcher...pesky inflation...

 

Just had a look £ 6900 inc vat + if you want a heater, chrome bits and water pipes ect, ect, it's loads more

 

If it helps, when I rebuilt my type 4 it included gasket kit, b+p, camshaft and gear, bearings, valves and guides, full exhaust and heater risers, tin wear, ancillaries and shortly followed up with carbs.... rebuilt at home for about £3k iirc.

Had to rebuild again after 6 months tho!

 

Eek!

 

You can do a Scooby install cheap if you do it yourself, and you have the facility to make as many of the bits as possible. I just bought the absolute minimum from RJES, and then cobbled the rest together using as much as I could salvage from the £150 Impreza. Its no show pony, but it works, and does 0-60 in under 10 secs..

 

a long way short ...

 

Ah well! Never mind.

 

How reversible is it. Id like to do it and keep my type 4 tbh.

 

Wow ...I rebuilt mine , supercharged and Custom FI for less than 2k

 

I was going to keep my type 4 then realised it would just sit in the garage collecting dust until I sold it. In the end I couldn't see the point so sold it.

 

Guy is wales was £5.7k to £6k including heating. Fellows is about £7.5k

 

Seems to be easy to go from scooby to type 4 if you kept all the bits. But why would you. If ever a scooby engine goes they are currently a few hundred quid.

 

What custom FI have you used?

 

Yeah yeah
Now Now Bristol I did teach you the difference
Between the different steering boxes
Remember now
Stuff your Subaru up your rrs Nipper
Ah Ha ha!

 

VFR 800 motorbike throttle bodies , machined down injectors , crank fire ignition ,coil per plug ...mini supercharger

 

proper custom
Was thinking for me but slightly above my capabilities with it not including wood

 

It would be easy enough to reverse dude, refit the original bell housing and your away. Oh, I did weld two small brackets to the chassis for the engine brace bar, but they are easy enough to get a grinder to if I wanted to remove them.
