K20 powered 172



  172 cup, Impreza P1
As far as I'm aware they all do aswell! As you can see the door bars are still duck taped to the diagonal bar so I'd guess they won't give much protection being there. When I get round to actually fitting the cage I might weld them in the right place and use the platform plates I got in nicely packaged box that's not pictured. :rasp:

Did you get spreader plates or platforms? There doesn't look much room for platforms.

Haven't updated for a while.
Cars not really moved until last weekend when I pushed it into the garage and took to bits and ordered some bits for it.

Ordered another one of these to keep me warm

Standard heater system weighs far to much.

So does the battery so ordered a Varley Redtop 25 and mounting cage

Anyone got any experience with them?

Ive found the 2 bolts that go through the subframe are slightly too big so will need to drill or file the bolt holes in the subframe to take the new bolt.

This bolt

I started by losing abut of camber so the tyres cleared the shocks nicely.

I then fitted my blower fan under the scuttle pan and fitted the T7 heater and ran all the ducting.

Still got lots to do, just had to tax the thing as well.
 
Wow that is some build! I am impressed. Pretty much what I would love to do only mine will take months and months! So many lovely shiny parts. Must feel like it is Christmas every day!

I want to do something with my rear wiring and all these build threads is giving me more and more information of what to do. At least that is free to do! Lol

I managed to sort the wiring on the drivers side but still have the passenger side to tackle! Any tips??

I just feed it through the inner wing, think I used a bit of copper brake pipe to feed it right through as it was a tighter space
My earth points for the rear lights only just reach.
I can take pics tomoz night if I'm in the garage if that will help bud.
 
My issues was the passenger side loom splits into 3 so I would need to unplug the loom in the boot lid, bumper light and light cluster. The only issue I have with that is feeding it back round the boot after re-routing but hopefully will manage this if I pull a cable through when pulling it out. I think that's the better option rather than cutting anything.

Any photos of the entry and exit points would be good though to give me some ideas. Thanks.

So we have the Comp engine mounts, strengthened wishbones with bearing conversion and weather seals, low temp stat, stud n nut conversion and the preloaded top mount bearings :)

Should make a nice addition and work well with the roll centre hubs from the group buy. Can't wait to get them so I can get it rolling :)

Will update as the parts go on.

Lovely this. Good to see some things which haven't been done before. Using it as inspiration for my cup.
What did you use to wrap the wire with when you ran it down the sides? Mine looks grim at the moment because it's all running down the sides still.
