Well another introduction thread for Spektre and kamimages...
Whilst browsing gumtree for parts for the blue GC8, I came across a add for a front impact 2000 RX impreza. For the price, I couldn't say no. So a road trip evolved and Kelly, MJ (my daughter) and Dave all travelled down to Mandurah to pick the car up.
Car on trailer and ready for the trip home. Thanks to Quexy for lending me the trailer!
So get it home, have a look at it and realise that obviously its alot of work to make it a fully fledge WRX racecar, but the year is long and the project will come along nicely.
First up was new years day and sporting hang overs Dave, Bob and myself started pulling everything out that was broken or non-essential for a racecar. Headlights, front bumper and bumper support, bonnet and battery all gone. Seats, carpets, boot lining and dash mat are all salvageable and will be in a for sale thread soon. Airbags had gone off but doesnt matter as I have to take it out for CAMS regs anyway.
before removal of stuff
after removal of stuff
the boys hard at work, found $2.75 in the car so its cheaper than i thought!
Engine and gearbox are from a RX impreza so a EJ201 and the gearbox is a RX 5 speed aswell so that will all have to come out and get sold on.
Needs/wants list at the moment:
Rear hubs for 2 pot conversion - sourced
2 pot rear and 4 pot front brakes
rear end linkages and sway bar
dba5000 fronts and 4000 rears with project mu pads
obviously gearbo, engine, engine loom etc etc but am getting th ecage and interior up to spec before engine process...
wish us luck and thanks to Dave, Bob, Quexy and kel for all the help so far!
