lookin good mate

are you fitting a cage ?
are you fitting fia seat mounting bars (weld in ) ?
are you having a rear diffuser ?

keep posting pics, awesome

utaka

full safety devices bolt in group n cage exactly same as weld in you can just unbolt it though and its a fair bit lighter than a weld in
seats are being welded in on mounting bars.
it is having a rear flat floor hence the wheel well removal
i went and looked at the car today and i have to give credit where its due. scoobyclinic are f**_-+g brilliant. the quality of the interior paint job is gobsmacking. for me i feel i have chosen the perfect tuner all the guys are brilliant, kev is a legend over the past 4 months he has helped me no end with this project and has gone a lot further for me in 4 months than some people ive known for four years would!! pretty much everyone up there owns a tuned subaru (all in heavy states of tune) and all the recent engines which they have built which are brilliant engines ,go like hell and last are the result of five hard years trial and error so all their work is race proven, and last week they gave me a car, yes they gave me a tuned track ready sti so i wouldnt spend my summer like a lemon doing no track days. now how many other people are going to just give you a 360 bhp sti an say go enjoy not many i bet.
its about time someone gave these guys the credit they deserve. ive gone through many jap cars many tuners and god knows how many thousands of pounds building cars that were never right, but this time i feel 100% confident that scoobyclinic will deliver the goods, i hope i can just return the favour and do well in time attack.
i will post the crazy month of track days tommorrow but for now here are some more pics of the blue beast pics are on my 2 megapixel crappy phone aswell

utaka

ill leave you all hanging with a clippet of tomorrows instalment brands twice in a month . awsome

thats my mate jason getting a pose on another speed freak he rides dirt bikes. FAST

utaka

last month scoobyclinic gave me the ice driver. now this an m plate sti that has been all over the world, driving on ice piloted by ian mckenna aka 'the ice driver.
http://

now back in road /track form kev just let me have it to do some track days in, to learn circuits for next year. looks like a tatty old nail, but how wrong you would be
i believe the spec of the car is forged internals, ppg straight cut gears, uprated clutch, exhaust, filter, mapped, FMIC & metal pipe, adjustable suspension, extra swirl pot and fuel pump in boot, wastegate, BOV, actuator. OZ superleggra, avon zz3's uprated discs & race pads, safety devices cage, sabelt harneses, sparco steering wheel stripped interior (i removed sound deadening as a thank you) push button start, helmet intercom and ithink thats it


it is aright little cracker running 360 bhp+ this car was built years ago and the engine has not been rebuilt since the origional rebuild which is a testiment to the longevity and quality of scoobyclinic's engines/engine builder after all the abuse it has had and it still does'nt miss a beat ive got to be honest for a seriously budget conscious track day enthusiast this car would be perfect. its quick, still very responsive, handles wonderfully (the best budget car ive ever driven) but yet is not so hard its unusable on roads. scoobyclinic are building packages like this including the shell/car for next to nothing. if the track is something you are looking to do you have to give the clinic a call these packages are great and cost effective

anyway here are some pics my mate jason is posing (sorry bluds)
and im driving. brands indy is awsome, and we had the measure of everything on track we were costantly driving at blue flags "move bitch get out the way, get out the way bitch, get out the way" even the ferarri couldnt handle the nail (obviously thats down to its driver but hey) was absolutely loving it.
i did the track with phil glewe about 3 weeks before this track day and when your taking a better line than everyone and your flying you can see why the lessons ar beneficial.





the 205 in the bckground was 650kgs with a 406 turbo lump with mods to engine it was quick





then my phone battery died but we did manage to get some shots of me on the move. absolutely love thi cicuit. yes its only a car lenghth long but its so fast and really rewarding when yo nail a lap

utaka

engine updates will be coming this week as i believe work starts monday.plus the cage is being installed. im going to clinic wednesday do some running repairs on the ice driver ready to tackle oulton park with phil be sure to check it out.

utaka

CAGE IS FINALLY IN AND STOOD WITH THE CAR IT IS PRETTY AMAZING, PUT IT THIS WAY I WONT BE WORRYING TO MUCH IF I DO HAVE A BIG OFF I SHOULD LIVE TO TELL THE TALE
CARBON FIREWALL IS IN PLACE AND DOOR CARDS TOMMORROW. THEN NEXT WEEK ITS OFF TO ABW FOR SOME SPECIAL ONE OFF BODYWORK THAT NO-ONE ELSE WILL HAVE, ITS FUNCTION BEFORE FORM, PRIMERALY THE KIT IS TO CREATE DOWNFORCE, NOT TO LOOK PRETTY SO ITS GOING TO BE MARMITE. TRUST ME IF TIME ATTACK IS YOUR THING YOU WILL LOVE IT. ENOUGH ABOUT THAT HERE IS TODAYS UPDATE





CARBON FIREWALL INSTALLED

justvisiting

Alrite m8 that is lookin really good should have a real quick car there. Unlucky bout being rear ended some ppl shudnt b given licenses! Remember to book combe and il c u there watching u lap us again!

utaka

just reversed straight into it luckily no major damage just some war wounds pissed me off though. just glad it wasnt the spec c coz then there would have been murder!! just to take the **** got 3 points on the old license yesterday.

this is looking like a really interesting project mate and that firewall is just sexy
all the best with the build i'll be following with intrest !!!

Tim

utaka

thank you tim been posting for a while and no-one was looking

cheers

Been watching your thread from the start mate, cracking build

It seems like it is coming along quite quickly, those SC boys dont hang about do they?

Cant wait to see how it comes out

Andy Pro Tbo

Ive been watching from the start too, its really impressive how quickly the project is coming along!!
Are you going for bodywork similar to "Tarzans" American TA hawkeye by any chance??
Hope i havent burst the unvailing bubble with a wild quess!!
Looking forward to seeing the project progress

Arch

iTrader: (59)

Looking good will be interested to see how it progreses Wish I had half your budget tho

utaka

custom made by ramsport mate

utaka

ha ha bodywork is a secret it may be the voltex kit it might not your going to have to wait and see. the project is only moving at such speed is because A) kev is a total legend and is helping me no end with reducing the final amount B) it is supposedly being magazine featured in december and C) the car will driven as a scoobyclinic car for time attack so we need plenty of test time and i need to get the thing right for me. Im very happy with my decision to use scoobyclinic in fact i couldnt be happier, i gave them the car`4 months ago and progress even staggers me.
thanks all for the kind words from everyone. might go to totb not sure coz all my mates are tied up or working
as for the roll cage it took kev ages to convince me not to go down the expensive and heavy route of a weld in cage. weld ins are frighteningly expensive and much heavier than you would think. safety devices is the perfect comprimise its light, plenty strong enough for a track accident, and its a lot cheaper. workmanship is top draw
more updates soon

Great Stuff

utaka

thank you very much

MAGNUM Type R

iTrader: (6)

Do you know if they do one for the GC8

Thanks

utaka

no idea sorry, i know they do a lot of newage group n stuff its all for rally cars so obviously not cheap infact pretty pricey. as you have no mouldings to follow in the classic just bolt a flat sheet of carbon to rear seat frame, unless you use your car for motorsport of course then i would recommend having a group n one made. my fueling will be in the boot so i need an approved firewall just in case

Arch

iTrader: (59)

Or you could use aircraft grade aluminium and shape. rivet and instal yourself add some very fine gauge right angles to the back to stop it flapping around and sounding like Rolf Harris's musical thingy - job done doubt it weighs much more than the CF one, total cost under a fiver oops £1.50 for the rivets on the top panel as well

utaka

nice clean car you have there. your right dude your right, every race car ive ever been in has had an alluminiunm firewall, until i built the spec c
you cannot deny moulded carbon is nicer and wont get red hot in the event of a fire, but if you are on budget ally all the way

you cant say that the carbon isnt nicer though, can you



loving the fuel tank bit tall for my boot as i have a flat boot floor now, how much was the tank, does it make a difference with the tank in the boot better weight distribution? at the moment in the ice driver the boot houses a huge swirl pot an a large second fuel pump and lines.

utaka

wassup y'all
after monging around all day stuck inside due to rubbish weather (thank god f1 was on) and being in a general pissy due to missing TOTB AGAIN!!
I flicked on the pc and to my suprise scoobyclinic are working on my car on a sunday with cars at totb crazy fools cheered me up a bit.
got my hands on polcarbonate windows and rear screen so they will be going on. i noticed the doors are back on too which probably means carbon door cards will go on this week

lookin realy good mate

you said you are using weld in seat subframes, why didnt you remove the oem supports that goes from the sil to the tunel insde the car, drill the spot welds off and there is another weight save
just a thought

i do like it thow

utaka

dont know mate did'nt even enter my mind, but now you have pointed it out i expect the weight saving is so minimal and it saves cutting up more of my mint shell.
