Ok I thought id update you guys and girls with what we been up to lately as most will know earlier this year I decided to shelf my big car and go a different route with that car so it was time for a new project that can be done quickly and farily cheap compared to other car while still being competitive hopefully and to get me out asap
So roll on the 2003 blobeye Sti prevously owned and built by Pete hardy on here to a good spec then brought by big Fud where we stepped in and did a lot of work on the car to get it working how we wanted and get a better tune on the car when Fud decided to sell it and after putting so much time and effort in working On the car for Fud I decided Id by the car knowing it had a solid engine and good bits I can sell on which will be replaced with my own parts so after buying the car I drove it a total of 15mtrs only straight on to the ramp where it was fully stripped and the work commenced The pan was 2 weeks turn around full strip down new gearbox/all unnecessary weight stripped and underneth cleaned and painted and my suspention/brakes/subframes/drivetrain/interior/fuel and rad system and wide arches fitted This first session was completed in under two weeks and with 710bhp and 1240kg the car proved to be a giggle and give me a good buz but it was short lived knowing the gearbox needed a refresh and a much needed dbw conversion to get most out the box the next stage started the engine and box fully removed full wiring loom removed so tubes front end fabricated then turbo/sump/carcm tank/sump/inlet and front fuek system from original car all sold new goodies orderd precision 6466 turbo/killer b sump kit/process west inlet and fuel rails all brought and once engine was stripped and checked and re assembled with some changes added all items bolted on When the gearbox arrived back from clark Motorsports as good as new it Was time to re fit everything in mb style where everything is easy to work on and neat I cannot stand a messy bay so a lot of time was taken in tidying and making it look as good as it can it yet still being functional to say im happy is a understatement Car is awaiting a new can expander to be wired and mapping this week the goal is 1150kg and 800bhp+ for this stage hope you enjoy and sorry for rubbish pictures they was never intended for a build thread:brickwall Attachment 32253 Attachment 32254 Attachment 32255 Attachment 32256 Attachment 32257 http://i310.photobucket.com/albums/k...psfyxkaylf.jpg Attachment 32258 Attachment 32259 Attachment 32260 Attachment 32261 Attachment 32262 Attachment 32263 Attachment 32264 Attachment 32265 Attachment 32266 Attachment 32267 Attachment 32268 Attachment 32269 Attachment 32270 Attachment 32271 Attachment 32272 Attachment 32273 Attachment 32274 Attachment 32275 Attachment 32276 Attachment 32277 Attachment 32278 Attachment 32279 http://s310.photobucket.com/user/mat...b4dba.mp4.html http://s310.photobucket.com/user/mat...lql7h.mp4.html http://i310.photobucket.com/albums/k...psdgtcujhm.png Attachment 32280 Attachment 32281 Attachment 32282 Attachment 32283 Attachment 32284 Attachment 32285 Attachment 32286 Attachment 32287 Attachment 32288 Attachment 32289 Attachment 32290 Attachment 32291 Attachment 32292 Attachment 32293 Attachment 32294 Attachment 32295 Attachment 32296 Attachment 32297 Attachment 32298 Attachment 32299 Attachment 32300 Attachment 32301 Attachment 32302 Attachment 32303 Attachment 32304 Attachment 32305 Attachment 32306 Attachment 32307 The semi finished product for now any way:) Attachment 32308 Attachment 32309 Attachment 32310 Attachment 32311 Attachment 32312 Attachment 32313 Attachment 32314 [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] |
