It was made in my hometown from '77 to '85, using the Volkswagen platform, as usual with many artesanal Brazilian fiberglass-bodied cars from the 70s and 80s when imports were extremely restricted.

That was then, this is now.

Welcome!
We make a reverse-cut ring & pinion to suit Subaru transmissions and fully remanufactured reverse drive transmissions.
These transmissions can be used with rear-mounted Subaru, VW / Porsche boxer engines for 5 forward gears.
· Add a Subaru engine and 2WD 5 speed transmission to a Beetle, Kombi or Vanagon without cutting the torsion bar.
· Add a Subaru 2WD 5 speed transmission to your aircooled VW motor using an adaptor plate and flywheel (coming soon)
· Add a complete Subaru engine and 4WD transmission / drivetrain to a vehicle.
· Replace your older/broken VW / Porsche 4/5 speed with a Subaru 5 speed.
We do NOT manufacture ring and pinions for the 6 speed STi transmissions or Automatic transmissions.

kach22i -- The Type III cooling is superior to the Beetle, but mine always ran hot with those big honkin' Webers.
You could incrementally improve the boxer with MSD ignition and Claude's Buggies fuel injectors; but IMHO the big returns would be as a base for a
Scuderi Split-cycle conversion. Compressed air hybrid, here we come!
Those Miura (Lamborghini knock-off?) vents are innies, like the Vanagon.
