Hi All,

So got myself a track car and decided to put together a seperate thread so it doesnt take over my Foz thread... very different cars indeed!

Im enetering in the WRXclub motor sport season, in the lowest class possible... lol! .

The Car is currently completely stock, suspension, brake & body wise.

But does have;

A Stage 1 Rigoli Engine
Forged pistons
Balanced crank
Race bearings
Kevlar timimg belt
Turbo timber
Boost Gauge

I'm looking at doing;
Coilovers (now done)
New rotors & pads (now done)
Power FC (now done)
Fuel pump (now done)

Edit: Have also now done front & rear swaybars with HD Endlinks, rear with HD mounts aswell. STi carbon fiber front strut brace, been corner weighted! Probably more but can't remember ATM... lol!

Few Pics the day I picked it up














So my first question would be to ask if anyone can recommend the best fuel pump for a MY99?

And does anyone have a Power FC for a MY99/00 that they want to sell? lol!

Id love to have the Coilovers, New rotors & pads, Power FC & Fuel pump all done within the next week and half so it is all good for the 1st of Feb.

This is the 2014 Season which Ill be entering, I'll update each of the below as they happen with best lap & the like. This is going to be awesome!

7th/8th June
Wakefield
WRX Nationals Event

This event was not in the championship so classes were not relevant.

Lap time at Wakefield was a 1:10.05 (so a flat 10) which I'm fairly happy with.... Yes, reviewing my footage there are a number of place I could make up some time...... My perfect lap should of been a low 1:09 for sure (maybe even in the .08s). Out of the two Sprint class cars that were similar to me I split them and fell .4 of a second short of taking the win.....

Love your work H. Looks like plenty of awesome days ahead... Subscribed and still insanely jealous
I actually started looking at GC8's on the weekend, just looking

Nice Holy canon batman exhaust though

Cheers bud, the power FC seems to be the go i think.



Youll be in one soon then!

But cheers Russ, it should be an awesome year of fun!



Cheers, yep its terrible but it does sound good!

Theres no way Id be rocking that on the street.

Awesome. To become full track spec? ie. gutted, caged and a/c is for cheaters?

There is a cage on ebay for gc8 at the moment.

I'm ruling nothing out..... ATM I want to make sure I'm in the lowest class possible, not sure if gutting it will attract points or not....

TBH the heaviest thing in this car is me ! In a way the wieght stripping has already started.... I've done a 3km & a 5km run since picking up the car because there's no point pulling foam seats out of it when I'm 12kg heavier than I should be......

Actually, I'm going to add my runs to this thread too... Might make me stick to it. I'm 107kg now, want to get back down to 95kgs..... This will have a big effect on how quick I get this car going as I don't plan on massive engine mods, this year.

Good luck 'H' ( I am still alive ) don't forget the basics you have learnt on OZFOZ but now it it does not have to be street legal just pass stewards!

Take the bake seats out,
17" rims
Bigger brakes,
Suspension,
Bracing,
Engine,
Gearing,
Tilt the horn,
And BALLS!!!,......

Good luck from me and my wife and you might want to talk to Micheal from MSR for some tips.

Rowie

Saw that. I reckon I'll score one for less somewhere. (hopefully!)



Cheers Rowie

Horn rotated easily 5kw there.

All those plus more mods are possible but everything attracts points and I really want to be in the lowest class possible this year.

Also, Ive got to say thanks to Aleck, out at Gotitrex, who gave up his time to have a quick look over the car today
