RoughStilin & _Daz_'s GF8 Track Hack
So, the story goes that I do not wanna risk smashing my STI on the track & have been talking to a couple of good friends who suggested buying a separate cheap car for motorsport purposes.
This arvo Darren & I picked up the GF8 in pretty much stock form, apart from a 2 1/2" cat back exhaust to today from Robbie (thanks mate) & straight away have started to get parts together to make it go a little quicker on the track. The car has already been gutted interior wise, so that is a great start. Thanks to seagull we managed to pick up a Apexi resonator delete, some seat rails for the passenger side seat (already has a recaro fitted to the drivers side), a host of gauges, boost, voltage, oil & water temp. A plug in computer that does something???? A new P/S pump as the one in the car has a bit of a noisy bearing & a battery clamp. Also I picked up a couple of 3" OMP harnesses today from GOGEAR, ready for the Rally Sprint on Thursday night. Tomorrow the car will be fitted with STD coil overs (massive thanks to Mao for doing this with 14 hours notice), get a minor service done, including engine oil, brake fluid etc & hopefully grab some 4 pot calipers and rotors to swap over too. Need a passenger side park light. Bigger inetrcooler thanks to the Weir family & gonna grab some dry ice and get rid of the factory sound deadening. As mentioned the car is in pretty much standard form & to be honest for now, we do not intend to do much to it performance wise, as we think it is smart to keep the car on pretty much standard boost, not break it & enjoy it for what it is, have fun, get out amongst it & bugger being competitive for now. Few pics of the car below. Will update in the next couple of days as to what we manged to get completed before Thursday.

Nice! Giving the old girl a new life.
Might have to turn the missus' 99 into a track beast if it doesn't sell.
