Nick@TD.co.uk Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Well i've been a member on here for abit, and have been a long term member on TGTT.com so thought i would post up my own members car page on here to show everyone what i've been doing, basicly bought the EP82 in November 2006 and has been a on going project since then, passed my driving test last febuary and its been my first car, love the GT to bits and now its being focus'd on a Track Car although i wont be stripping the interior as i've tryed it and it doesn't fit with my driving style (not enough weight over the rear wheels).When i got it it was pretty much standard apart from the Tom's Alloys and the Fujitsubo Exhaust, I've added everything else since then and before the majorm project of it it was running a Standard CT9 at 0.9bar boost with a Greddy Emanage Blue setupWas Dyno'd When Mapped on Stock CT9 before it seized making:182 BHP @ The Fly182 IB/FT Torque @ The FlyBoth figures were at 0.9bar with no ignition advanceThen about 3week's after i tweeked the boost to 1bar it seized the turbo up so then the major project began, i decided to bite the bullet and loan some money and build the TD04 beast which is now running today, I have alot more planned for this little beast but it will remain standard internal's for awhile and i dont want anymore power as its more than enough, im now focusing on improving the braking and cornering of it.Here's the Spec list so far:- Engine -Subaru WRX TD04 13G Turbo (with Internal Wastegate)Wicked EP Racing TD04 Stainless Steel Downpipe (Braced and Heat Wrapped)Wicked EP Racing TD04 Evolution Mild Steel Manifold (Heat Wrapped)Wicked EP Racing Front Mount Intercooler Kit (Including Piping)Custom Front Mount Intercooler Section (from Turbo to Intercooler Core)Speedvision Custom Made Braided TD04 Oil + Water Lineâ??sSpeedvision 1.2mm Multi-Layered Metal HeadgasketCustom Port â??nâ??

Nick@TD.co.uk Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Quick UpdateJust thought i'd post up whats happening with the project at the moment, basicly not had much time to do much on the GT atm but the Caliper upgrade is going on next weekend which should be interesting can't wait to see what result's they give.Also i've been to Demon Tweeks today and had 4wheel laser alignment done on the GT, everything is aligned as it should be and has made the car feel alot better on the road which is ace.And ive been to my wheel refurber's unit today and dropped off my other 3 tom's wheels from my second set, also got chance to view the first wheel thats now finished and its incredible! i love it and the car's going to look awesome with these new wheels And to go with the freshly refurbed wheel's ive got afew exterior parts that are going on to make the GT look that bit more like a track car and should have a sweet look with them No picture's this time as the exterior parts are being kept quiet until i get everything finished and fitted and let the pictures speak.~Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
potge Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Nice project i wont repeat all the good things mentioned previously, but as a proper track car shouldnt be a set of semislicks dot R tires and a roll cage on the current/future equipment and most important some safety equipment?
