    WestTexasS2K, Thanks again for the diff input. Going to stick with the R160 since I'm already geared up for it (no pun intneded) with my current axles. I knew Brian had sold WCM, but I didn't know to whom; congratulations! BTW, I had a chance to drive Goldie a few years ago, do you happen to know where that car is now? Just curious.

    I'll take that as a much needed compliment. It's just that I'm now the old dog at work and every year the world seems to look a little younger. Typing mistakes and spad belling (HA!) are truly a sign of of getting older. But I still have my sense of humor.

    Jack, Thanks. Great to hear from you!!! I’ve had a three year hiatus from car building with my job change, move, etc. I haven’t posted on the Stalker Group forum in a while, but I still poke my head in every now and then. It’s nice to see that Mike is coming along nicely with #85. And it looks like the Stalker guys are picking up the pace a bit with the LS series engines. Russ, Thanks for the dates. I’ll research and email. The 122th will be on my birthday . . . my 50th. Man, I’m getting old. :smilielol5:

    WestTexasS2K, Thanks for the heads-up on the R160; I'll definitely keep this in mind. Is the Impreza diff the same ‘dimensionally’ as the Forester (axles were ordered for the Forester diff--still learning here)? Also, what year Impreza? As for power, I won't be making quite the RWHP with this car as you are; w/ air-to-air intercooler and a modest 7 pounds of boost, the engine should net somewhere in the neighborhood of 270-280HP at the flywheel, so the Forester unit may be feasible for my application. In addition to that, my engine has a stock bottom end, so I don’t really think I want to boost beyond 7. Still, the R180 unit may be a good investment for down-the-road mods. I’ve been in the car hobby (mainly building) since my teenage years, but I’ve been a diehard V8 guy . . . that was until I discovered just how much fun the Seven style cars are. My last build was a supercharged Stalker. Still, as I said, I’m learning hear and I’ll take all the input I can get. BTW, I gather from your forum name you own one of Brian Anderrson's designs. He and my late father-in-law served in the Army together in the 60's. locost7018, I did not know that. But I would love to attend!!! What are the dates and details? I have an ex room mate living in Harrison. He pastors the Fellwoship Bible Church.

  11. Finally! One I can afford! :party:
  12. From one former Stalker owner to another soon-to-be former Stalker owner, a very imaginative and creative way of pulling together yellow and blue, two of my favorite colors for these type of cars. Bravo on beating your own drum. :hurray:
  13. Does anyone know if this car is still for sale? Thanks. :bigear:
  14. Great looking S2K. Did Brian Anderson build the car?
  15. Interested in the car. Can you provide contact info?
  16. I've personally looked at the cars Dick is currently offering and have driven a couple of his cars that have previoulsly sold. For a driver, ax and occasional track use, look at the green S-3 with the SVT engine (200hp). My thoughts.
