relocated power stering bottle
gizmo launchcontrol interface

cusco coil overs

still need to get
twin plate cluth

very very big brakes ( got my eye on some 8 pots


and iv striped it out put in two buckets with harneses and still gota get a cage.


i want it all done and ready for easter
im sure there is more but i cant think because alot of work has gone into like making and fabricating the exhuast new brakets for the altinater all new pipes
and basicly moveing everything from the left hand side of the car.


i would recomend a project to anyone im having so much fun doing it and it realy does feel like your own when youve finished.

got the idea from tony regoly who is a big tuner in australia he has made some very big horse power cars with this kind of set up.

if it wasnt for the fact that i want to do a few track days i would put an sti auto box in it perfect for drag but poo everywere else

im going to stick to 6 speed manual to get a bit of enjoyment on the street, track and drag


anyone got any more mod ideas?

this is the same turbo as nigel wilson runs on his evo3 and is always on the track so it should be prity good as long as the setup is rite.

this is the car itself wheels are going white. spoiler has gone. (carbon rear wing) no interior just cage and buckets.

You might twist the rears with that blower?
I think they are £200 each, but call David to be sure. They looked very nice when I saw them a few months back.

What a nasty winter. well not to much extra cash over the last few months so havent realy done alot.
but know its all changed my old engine was open deck block so sold that.
bought a closed deck block. fitting sti 4 crank, eagle rods and wrc omega flat face pistons.
the turbo being so large im going to strugle with lag. so staying with the reversed inlet and iv mounted the turbo in the front bumper.
this way the turbo just has a 90* pipe to the intercooler and there is only about 1.5 foot of pipe to the inlet.
its been alot of work to do this but it should work alot better than rotating it and useing alot of log pipe work.

also as i own a bodyshop it seemed silly if i didnt shave a few pounds off the car and paint it an amzing colour.

Good luck with those with that turbo!!

I've used eagle myself in the past but never beyond 500bhp.

a few picshttp://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee295/RICHCARCRAZY/carstage1003.jpg

This is after a week getting everything to fit in the front end.
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee295/RICHCARCRAZY/carstage1002.jpg

as you can see i found the easy way. remove the lot and just add a rad carryer that meets my needs.

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee295/RICHCARCRAZY/carstage1001.jpg


then i had to chop 3.3" out of the chassi leg to allow for the turbo
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee295/RICHCARCRAZY/carstage1004.jpg



then i strengthand the leg inside and plated it back over.
