Race car look on a budget
 

Picked up this 1996 wrx a while ago was real rough round the edges but with a bit of time on my hands decided to build a race car look on a budget,

It's currently running 368bhp on a 2.1 stroker engine with a 6 speed box in need of a map once I get bigger injectors will be getting JGM in :-),

As it stands its a working project that 99% has been done by myself in my spare time so it's not near the finished article.

Then managed to get a ABW rear diffuser and made some stiffis, exhaust has now been tidied up and not so low,

Then on to the front end made up a splitter and fitted induction feed kit,

Fitted bonnet pins and raised the rear up a bit to allow better air flow,

ABW arches and spacers on the way with a set of these wheels i am so in love with the colour and car off for full respray in 5wks to tidy it up round the edges,

Loads more to do and in total I have spent the grand sum of £350 minus wheels and arches :-).

What cage is that ? How much that diffuser ? Where splitter from? Looking good

Made by a friend who does race cars, been made to full FIA spec it's just the front the rear part goes in next week, Diffuser is a ABW one which I had given free of a race car, and splitter was made by myself :-).

Looking nice there Steve. Saw the wheels on sc, should look nice on :) let me know when jgm is coming might get him to do mine too. Tim

Will do m8 going to be a while after some git broke into my garage and stole a box of treats, including the simtec ecu, Knew wot their was after the pigs :-(.

Those wheels going on under standard arches?

Nope did say in thread ABW arches being fitted :-).

What you make the splitter from? Winglets they abw to?

Winglets made myself along with the splitter made from 12mm reinforced plastic, was made of 12mm ply real easy to make the brackets are the biggest pain.

1st mock up in ply

Where u get the 12mm plastic mate ? Does no 1 make one like this ?

No idea if you can buy them, I made mine from scratch total cost with bars £19.50. If you have a company that publish books ask them as its used to protect the books whilst on a pallet ;-).

Great job, and the splitter looks tidy. I've been looking for some plastic to make one myself but it seems so expensive. Book publishers you say:wonder:

Subscribed! Looking good mate

Yep book publishers :-) comes in 6x4 sheets before their cut it down to pallet size.

Where did you get the wheels from?

Howes wanna make me one tell me a price ?

wheels look amazing!!

Bit more done today cage fitted and sprayed, And front top splitter sprayed,

Cheers bud, off to track some down:thumb:

Splitter
 

Think there could be a group buy going on here

;)

Howes cheers mate.

I can make as many as wanted from 12mm ply and supply all the brackets to fit the original holes, I have had mine way over 100mph and didn't budge a inch, but getting hold of the plastic on a large scale I will have to have a quiet word with my m8 ;-).

any chance of one for newage ?

Got 2wk holiday coming up soon will look into it, I not promising anything but will do my best to get hold of the required materials and come up with a price.

Excellent work, I love that ABW rear difuser!!!!

Any more pics of diffuser mate

Only other pic I have sorry not the greatest.
