Starting build on a 182 Track Weapon!!
- Thread starter Ricky81 STi
- Start date
Evo IX GT, 172 Cup
Wheels arn't exactly 2 my taste either but they were cheap and they'll do in the meantime. As I say would like a set of Team Dynamics on her eventually. There's 40k miles on the car so would have needed to change the bushes for a bit of track work anyway so went 4 the powerflex items to stiffen her up a bit, hopefully make her a bit more positive.

Looks like a great project, definately rate the Team Dynamics wheels too. Light and take a battering!

Thought about doing that but fancied doin the work myself, plus I wanted a car which can be used as an everyday car if needed. Maybe a couple of years down the line once I've had my fun from this one I might go for a ex cup racer.
Nope not to bad depends how much abuse you give them.

Finally the car's home, cam belt done and ready to start the hard work!! Got a lot of the interior removed today so first job is gettin the cage in, gonna make a start on that tomorrow so if I get a bit of peace to work on it hopefully it should be in this week along with the seats, harnesses etc.
Here's the wagon in all her glory, gonna go for sum decals once all the work is taken care of.

Been a busy week so getting time to work on the motor was difficult but things are starting to take shape.
Cage sitting in the car for a dry fit just to check everything, all looked fine so the mounts will be welded in this comming week. Also got the steering wheel stuck on!!!
Poly bushes, engine mount, bilies, brembo disks, DS2500 pads and goodrich lines all fitted.
Cage mounts, oil cooler, strut brace and decat pipe should be done this week then just waiting for the ecu to come back from GDI.

Getting a set of team dynamics, hopefully they'll be here soon!!

Yeah mate it looks a nice tidy well cared for motor, It'll still be well cared for but maybe driven slightly harder!!
Anyway got the decat pipe fitted today in about 10mins, must have been the easiest and most straight forward part of the whole build so far!! Also got the oil cooler, sandwich plate and braided oil lines fitted...
Should have taken a photo once the lines were in place but sure you get the idea!!
Comming near an end now, just the cage brackets to tack into place and bolt in the seats and harnesses. Ecu should also be back in theis week.

Comming very close now. Just have the cage to finish then bolt in the seats and harnesses. Might drop the ride height another few mm but I don't want it to low. Also need to set the alignment gear on her to see whats what.
First trackday of the year is growing closer!!!

On those wheels...
Does the webbing (more surface area) help keep things cool?
Or does it suffocate (less airflow) the brakes?

Venturi effect cooling appartently, we'll see how well they keep things cool in a weeks time!!
