Boulder used a company called Pro Street Performance to build their few Subaru conversions. The only thing this car has going for it is that the price is equivalent to a kit these days, so it could be a basket-case and as long as you knew that going in you would still be in good shape as you'd have the engine, adapters, exhaust, trans, tank, wiring, etc... Actually let me rephrase that, chances are it IS a basket case and will need gone over stem to stern, BUT all the parts will be there to finish it correctly. :)
Wasserboxers are not the new Type IV.

The Type IV is its own thing. No electronics unless you add 'em, and no need for that pesky coolant stuff. Although several folks here love their Subaru engines, I must stick up for the virtues of the old air-cooled engines. Somebody has to.

If Carey says all the bits are there to make a decent runner out of that Subaru job, I suppose there's hope for it. Still ... I'm just sayin' ...

If installed correctly (doesn't overheat, shifts fine going down the road, CPU interface worked out), price doesn't sounds out of line. Cosmetics and details can be cleaned up. Post some pictures.

Toyota coming out with a rear drive Subaru powered sport coupe in 2012 currently called the FT-86. (Might appear under SCION name plate). Engine is the new 2L direct injection combined with port injection - giving 30% better gas mileage than prior Subaru engines --- with a 6 speed manual or automatic. Reported price target $20-25K.
The Scion FR-S version of the FT-86 is the better looking of the two. But I think the key to success will be if they can keep the weight and price down. They need 3200 lbs for the same power to weight ratio as the original AE86, but there is a big difference driving a 3200 lb car compared to a 2300 lb car. Hopefully they'll get their final weight to about 2700 lbs. But as far as price, I bet it's on the high end of that range.
