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,
,
Started making full roll cage to fia spec,

,
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 :-).

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 :-).
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 :-(.

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 ;-).

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 ;-).



let me know when jgm is coming might get him to do mine too. Tim
