turbine13 08 February 2009 07:02 AM

Some more photos, let me hear your opinions about the build...

Little bit color for the Intake manifold:

Before:

http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/6915/s5002263fe8.jpg


http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/2204/s5002268du2.jpg

Fueling Issue:

Had the Walbro 250LPH, little bit gentle for high specs for my opinion,
Moved to the Bosch 023 In-Tank Fuel Pump :


http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/7554/s5003085kq2.jpg


Need to have some modification for the fuel tank holder first,


http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/8013/s5003086sz5.jpg


http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7395/s5003087bp9.jpg

turbine13 09 February 2009 08:02 AM

OK !!!
Time for Brakes , Suspension , Wheels , Tires & Drivetrain:

Remember the broken gear ?
http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/5712/s5001577kj1.jpg

So i decided to go with STI ver.5 RA type gearset,
If this will broke as well,
I will go with STI 03 6SPD Gearset ( KILLING GEARBOX !!! )

http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/807...2006416uc0.jpg

http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/695...2006415ea3.jpg

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8269/02012006409lp6.jpg

STOCK susspension is CRAP !
Making my car bounce and move back and forward when i change gears at full throtle ;)
( better not mention the cornering issues ... )

So... Moved to Tein SuperStreet !!! HAHA !

This is how the STOCK susspensio and brake caliper look like:

http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/6421/s5002271di2.jpg

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/6461/s5002238fr6.jpg

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/7048/s5002234fo2.jpg

http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/7894/s5002235pc9.jpg

turbine13 09 February 2009 08:03 AM

WITH THE EDFC : ( Electronic Damping Force Controller )


http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6472/s5002230vv6.jpg


the motors:


http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6066/s5002228eq6.jpg

http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/776/s5002282qn4.jpg

http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/2498/s5002277tv9.jpg

So probablly will have nice power, and probablly will control it by the TEIN and tires ( tire pics soon...)
now the car needs to be able to STOP !!!!


So ... Stock Brakes:


http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/4729/s5003495pd2.jpg


Upgraded to Prodrive 330mm BIG BRAKE KIT:


http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/8297/s5003433wz5.jpg

http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8483/s5003499ng9.jpg


PRODRIVE BRAKES WITH O.Z Superleggera Wheels !! ( need to fit for the BIG brakes )


http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/4074/s5003501hm1.jpg

http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/5362/s5003509yg6.jpg


StopTech Stainless steel brake lines of course !!
