Cheers for the warm welcome guys 8-|
Basically bought it back in August 2005 from a mate as a standard EK4 and started stripping it within hours of buying it. It took 13 months to build it into a tarmac rally car and competed on a few rounds of the Cotswold championship. Then I did a track day in the middle of last year which made me decide that it might be worth trying a bit of track racing. I heard about the Nippon race series back in November and spent the last few months converting it to race spec ready for the first 2 rounds at Silverstone this Sunday.
Spec? Quite long but not huge engine wise as I was restricted to 1600cc for rallying, although due to change at some point this year.......here goes
EK9 B16b (baffled sump, adj cam gears, BMC panel filter, Fujitsubo EX manifold, Custome de-cat, Buddyclub spec IV exhaust, Magnecor leads, Koyo Alloy Rad,
S4C gearbox with 4.785FD, Quaife ATB lsd, Fidanza flywheel and Exedy clutch.
Tein Type-RE coilovers, Skunk 2 front camber arms (3.5 negative), Omni power rear camber arms (2.75 negative), Whiteline front 27mm ARB, Whiteline rear 22m ARB with H/D mount kit and polybushed droplinks. DC sports front and rear strut braces, Megan Rear LCA's
Willwood Dynalite calipers with 298mm discs and bells, Hawk Blue 9012 pads (standard rears) in-car bias adjuster.
Fully stripped including ABS, Power steering, sunroof, inner door panels and crash bar. Carbon fibre bonnet, full 5 piece perspex window kit, Odyssey lightweight race battery, all lines run inside the car and then all the obvious safety equipment etc etc
Probably missed loads but i'm sure you get the idea
As for cost..........loads but it has a purpose so I dont mind and yes, it goes very well although plenty of scope for more power (just no money to do it) >:-(
