Thread: Building 500+ Classic Impreza

Thnx!

A featherweight upgrade for today!



What will it be?



Fiberglass doors!


The body is finally complete now and is able to get painted.

Some adjustments...


As if its OEM!





You might be wanting to know how much OEM door weights?


This is however a "complete" door, with window and mechanics in it still fitted. My new doors will get Lexan windows however, so I hope to compensate the extra weight of the rollcage in the end anyways.

Finally we've put the baby 3cm lower to the ground.





Thats it! There might be a minor update on Saturday, but this will be the day when the body will get transported to the paintshop... FINALLY! Then you'll have to wait until further updates...

Yesterday it finally has come so far: off to the paint shop!

I borrowed a set of "matte black rims" from my "ex girlfriend"



The difference!


YOOO!


And off she goes...




Hard to think that we've picked her up like this exactly a month ago:


I would like to thank JT and everyone else who has made this possible.

End of chapter...

This is turning out to be an awesome build! I love these types of threads. Can't wait to see her all buttoned up and ready to race.

Thanks mate!

Awesome stuff! And you really should thank your builder, I've rarely seen that kind of attention to detail and such properly-fitting fiberglass body parts, especially the doors.

Спасиб! Но до "машины" она пока что ещё не доросла

Just returned from my holiday in my hometown Moscow, bought some stuff there:



And the project made some progress without me too:

The "old one" is being dismantled:


Flowing the heads:




Baffled sump:




And the rest:








This week the car is coming back from the painter and I'm going to pick up some new goodies..

That 2.2 is really gonna help with off-boost torque and minimizing lag!

And some update:

Just purchased LP FMIC/Rad combo set. I'm going to pick it up this Friday, but I couldn't resist the temptation to post it already.
