Hello
I am very happy to find guys like you who are fidddling with their Justy! I love my car, and like to suprise people when they see me in their rear view mirros closing in fast!
I have had my car since when new in 1990, and drove it daily for many years without modifications.
I begun modifying this little monster a few years ago, and now it can rev up to 9000Rpm, and can outrun many cars at traffic lights eventhough it only has 1.0 lt engine!
The mods so far:
Full port polish
Free flow exhaust, custom made
Decat with center bomb adaptor.
Green open cotton air filter with adaptor in summer,
closed box green cotton air filter in winter
Higher amperage coil,
internal fan control switch
Piaa fog lights
[glow=red,2,300]Momo steering wheel
OMP Racing bucket seat[/glow]
Racing pedal kit
MP3 Player
Auxilary gas tank in boot
Galant VR4 Silicon Spark plug wires
Bosch 4 tip spark plugs
No rev limiter, uprated valve springs
Harder motor mounts
Racing brake pads, metallic
Red valve cover, with raised Subaru lettering polished ;D
The body is stock, apart from alloy 13x5.5's wrapped in 165/65/13 Michelin's.
I am working on the ignition, trying to get hold of 3cyl motorcycle kits for the engine.
I tried to change the intake manifold, but the thermostat and water holes are integrated, so no luck. Been thinking about motorcycle carburettor conversion though.

See it rev freely here...
Will post more pics later.
Update: (May2005)
Now I too have a turbo'ed Justy! My car has changed a lot. Now it has Torque! (Feels strange )
Here are some pics:

You can see the piping and the blow off valve here.

Specs?
Borg-Warner KKK K14 Turbo
Inverted Ford Transit Turbo FMIC
Maserati Bi-turbo Rising rate fuel pressure regulator
Mercedes Benz Bosch Fuel Pump
Wolkswagen Golf II Fuel Pump Relay (Mine was fried when I put the big pump!)
Graham Goode Racing Blow Off Valve
Custom Exhaust Manifold and Exhaust piping
Stainless Steel Mandrel Bent Charge Pipes
Carb mods, filled floats, uprated gaskets etc.
Oil adapter and braided stainless oil lines.
Removed stock radiator, installed bigger twin core Renault radiator, fabricated new mounts.
Carburetor adapter fabricated from a querry truck thermostat cover
Cold air intake to the turbo
Fuel return line rerouted to fuel regulator, all fasteners uprated.
Now I am running .3 bar, tried .5 bar at 8000RPM (scary) , will try .7 with lower compression pistons.
I have tried racing a BMW 3.20i, and he could only pass me when I ran out of gears!
