hi all well after seeing everyone elses threads on track cars have decided to tear apart the r and turn her into a little street/slag track racer for a bit of fun, currently took everything that isnt needed or doesnt do anyhting out so she is looking bare LOL. scraped of sound sealer or whatever it is what a hassle that was, relocated diff switch, also placed ecu in a more acsesable place got photos to post and any feed back would be good as first atemp at this

 

oh yes as current fitted 3"turbo back decat exh, walbro255, 550cc, greddy filter,gt2 headers, hybrid gt2 front mount,next is turbo change and ecu but what do i go for as dont want something laggy and funds are not massive . also looking for fpr or some opinoins on a good one as no theres lots to choose from ????

 

First thing fit the door cards you bought of me lol

 

dont worry they will be fitted before the sun goes down on monday, and if i does get dark still left interior map lights in...LOL
dont forget to bag the solaris up for collection too

 

LoL you wish

 

just a few quick shots of progress, and my new mounting for dccd swith

 

Aircon now gone too so should be few ounces lighter
also fitted turbo downpipe today so just headers to go and then decent ecu,
now need some advice on which gage bolt/weld/or both as seen some that are bolt and weld or does anyone have or is using a cga ethey can recomend

 

you going to be able to reach the DCCD if you have harnesses? Thats the main issue with mine LOL I can just reach it

 

Cage - I have a Sparco multipoint weld in.

Quite similar to a custom cages etc

Think they do a lighter one too (over CDS), and will cater for more custom needs (if you get them to fit it)

2dr bolt in - http://www.customcages.co.uk/Rollcag...&model=Impreza 2dr GC8&type=Bolt in

 

i hope i can reach switch or dccd will be for sale LOL, will have to do test run when get some harnesses or may be getting moved again!!

As for cage how much are you thinking about and is as pic shows
also anything else i can remove thats not needed to just to lose some more pounds a i weigh 20stone (not fat ) so what removed up to now probably acounts for me LOL

 

try these Roll Cages - Custom Cages Ltd, UK for a cage used them when i had land rovers very good cages and very helpful would love one for the scooby but kids say no

 

P555SBR - The 2nd and 3rd cage pics are Custom Cages

Scaume - The prices are on the links....

custon cages give prices for supply and supply+fit

Sparco is about 700, and budget around the same for fitting if not DIY.

Weight: What do you have left in? Junk the OE battery and fit a light weight racing gel battery in the cabin (behind pas seat for example) that will save about 6kg.
Electric windows.... glass!

 

Hi mate when you collecting these door cards?

 

next monday defo pal lost phone then had it retrieved via friend who was taxi driver, so bonus so got ya number back as cleared inbox so didnt have it stored . Have sorted today with pal if i cannot do it he will come on my behalf will defo comfirm sunday night if all ok with you , i need them as my doors look bare LOL.
And again thanks for letting me borrow solaris for next 6mths it was a kind gesture pal
i dont mind paying for remap for my spec dont worry about that LOL

 

Adam Kindness= not too much left in just need to remove oe door mirrors and have thought about windows but do you have a link or info as to were i can obtain some polycarbon or plastic items preferably with slide bit as may need to open windows on road days as removed heater/matrix/fan as discussed earlier......

battery is already in list of remove items, can i remove wiring for airbags, and air bag ecu as wasnt sure if ok to do and if it would affect ecu ???

 

Airbag wiring is fine to remove.

Have a look at P4P (Plastics For Performance) for plastic window kits

Plastics 4 Performance - Polycarbonate motorsport windows, mudflaps and accessories

 

No prob mate see ya monday.and as for the solaris errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr no

 

thanks Adam Kindness for link just what wheight watchers ordered LOL

 

Right she has been on weight loss program again(car not the misses) and a few more pounds shed airbag ecu wiring and all asociated items removed,also as much of dash as poss without losing clocks etc, just need to lose standard seats and get my self some nice replacements

 

make sure you go for GRP/Kevlar/CF shell seats and not steel framed buckets! They cost a wee bit more but are so much lighter!

writing my letter to santa now and you know whats top of list thanks for link

 

No worries, top quality btw so much better than Sparco, mine weighed 5kg each on my old rally car.

Just need to save up for my scoob, grrrrrrr

 

nice.. OMP cage is worth a look

Simon

 

right engine bling gone just extra weight also battery relocated to boot and cut off switch in dash waiting for external pull cable to arrive been in talk to simon(jgm) and think its simtek with als/lc fitted on switches just for the need to be able to if want to would love solaris but funds just dont warrent as still got seats/cage /susp/brakes yet £££££ to go, going for omp cage and then refresh up in white inside just to clean up looks , side skirts gone as just astheticly pleasing so not needed extra weight let ya have a look anget some more pics

 

the window kits are a good idea but i wouldnt really want to pay about 500 quid for them what about removing spare wheel well i was thinking of this i have abs on my 94 import grrrr to remove that be fun lol keep up good work get sum pics up mate need sum more ideas
