Impreza Group-N project.

[Miguel - Newera]

Cheers Dinges I have a few maybe unfair advantages, lol. Most of all, I just enjoy tinkering. More surgery in the form of pillow ball bushes, lower final drive and new diff, etc. for the RX-7 next week....Then it sould be even better to flick sideways

What's your login on the GTR forum (PM if you want)? I don't recognise you from there!

I think your project would generate a lot on interest on GTR.co.uk btw. Not necessarily in Imprezas, but in the level of detail & lack of compromise to which you're building this beast! - Lots of people build cars, but few to this level of thought and determination!

But I'll be watching it here, so look forward to the updates

Pillowballs are good, I will be putting my suspension on it, starting at the rear, they really improve the feel of the car.

I love RX7's too, a nice one with a Feed spoiler set is still on my want list, above a Skyline even.

My name on the GTR forum is dinges too, my actual name is Aram though.

I did think about putting this building proces on there aswell, but I did not think the guys would appreciate it much, Scoobies are not their cup of tea mostly.

Got me a fuel filter and a hydraulic parking brake today.

Fuel filter:





The hydraulic brake usually comes with a no-name cilinder, but I really wanted all my stuff from AP Racing, so the guy at the shop exchanged it for free, great guy!

[Aram]

Tried to do a bit again today but with this cold it's no fun, it is easter but it's snowing here!

This is what it looked like, and there is no heating in the workshop.


My old red faithfull:




My current white faithfull:




Anyway, I wanted to fix up the pedalbox and the 2 brake cilinders but it turns out the guys at Prodrive welded the attachmentplate on the firewall crooked!

Argh..., I'm not gonna accept that so I will be doing some more welding and grinding, thank god I didn't have much to do anyway....

But I can still work out the brakelines when they are a bit out of line, so no prob there.

Crooked:



Put them in anyhow:





Then I let the parking brake get used to it's new habitat:

Your white faithful is having a bit of rust on the right fender!!

[Aram]

Not only there I'm afraid.
I will work on that one after the Impreza is done, it will be as new again.

Dinges you have PM!!

Got a whirlpot today.
It's not the one I thought it would be, I expected a ATL in somewhat bigger size.
Ohh well, if it works it works.

[Aram]

Because the mastercilinder mounting on the firewall is crooked I had to adress this.
So I decided to incorperate this on a brake bracklet aswell.
I designed a experimental version on autocad from which I will develop the final version.
I will keep it steel for now, but the final version will be aluminium.









I began cleaning up the throttle bodies.
They are full of environmental valves etc. that seriously restrict the flow.
Today I started milling a bit on them.











More later.

Looking good. Man, you have a lot of time and patience!
