Plan is to have the car shaken down and ready for next season, although i would love to do a hillclimb event or 2 if we get the chance to this year

I have no intension of drag racing the car so will be setup solely for the circuit.... although if we end up attending TOTB next year we would give it a go to try and gain some overall points.

 

thats great thats where it should be not on keyboard, good luck grd

 

What's an 'sm thread' ?

 

Looking very, very nice.

 

Scooby Mania?

 

thats what i thought you said, confused me some what

 

That looks good James

Is (was) that your old UK road car (as modded to serious power)? Or another shell?

Silver is the fastest colour BTW

 

Take note Subaru, THIS is how you redesign the impreza!!!

 

They are too busy looking in the wrong direction....
But you are RIGHT!

 

Yes it is and still under 3 years old

Hopefully it will prove to be

 

Just seen this thread, looking very good, and with 700bhp should fly

 

700!?

Hope he stays away from the hillclimbs!
Suspension must be on soon?

 

Aye Graham, thats his target by the looks of it

 

Could easily go over 700 with our engine spec as our sister engine is running around the 1000hp mark for drag(with gas)... but longevity would drop proportionally, which would be an issue for track use

AST Racelines are sitting there ready and waiting, powerflex are just making us some racegrade suspension bushings and todays task is putting new wheel bearings in and fitting longer arp wheel studs to accept wrc mag rims

 

this 1000, is it show or go? big claims there, best get it on the track, though a couple of evos are claiming 900+ and were well beat by a rcms lower bhp gobstopper with a lot less power, also steve g, auto box only 9.3? please correct me if im wrong

 

Correct re steve g, but not bad with misfires and not one run without issue.

 

thanks for the update.

 

It was Steve G's engine i was referring too

 

**** me that looks impressive not overkeen on the spoiler addons, but understand the track direction is the plan to market the kit as a purely road car down the line? the arches and 2 door would attract a bit of attention on their own!
spookily enough we've got a guy at work that used to cast the water cooled AP callipers, we were only talking the other day about what sort of race formula they would be for, will be able to tell him what they're fitted on now

 

We have all the components available to do it either as a 4 or 2 door widebody roadcar kit and as a full on 2 door lightweight kit....however the lightweight kit will require a rolcage because the standard doors with side impact protection are replaced with fibreglass

 

pm me how much to make mine a 2 door, i already have the kit i will just need the rear arch extension and the doors moulding into one

also do i need to change my front seats ??? mine is a 2003 JDM STI ???

 

I will have to enquire for you as we source the kits complete from APR and they dont list any items seperately, so i expect they will have to be special order!....also you would require a rear bumper and side skirts in order for it to look right, otherwise the arch extensions will be overhanging

What would be the reason for having to change the seats

 

i already have the rear bumper, side skirts and the front vented wings !! apart from a different style front bumper on yours its virtually the same as my car

the reason i was thinking about the seats is i cant remember if they come down far enough to allow someone to get into the back seats

 

There is still no guarantee that your bumper will line up with the arch extensions though!

 

Just checked for you and if your planning on running it as a fast fully trimmed road car then you would need to address the seat issue with something like a set of seats out of a type R in order to gain access to the rear seats.

 

You're going for it then Steve
Big job, btw, if you need seatage pm me

Dill

 

Good luck with this project It looks like you've got your heads screwed on cant wait till its done. TOTB next year ???????

 

Cheers

For starters we are going to try and make it to TOTB, SSO and TA but will have to see how things go

 

I've posted them to my colleague in Subaru/Inchcape Australia (I work for em) - his reply was:

"wtf that's awesome dude!"

 

Great project, i wish you all the best with it
