So new ecu is here (been in a draws at work for a while now) just waiting on all my loom kit to get here so i can start ripping every bit of stock wire out of the car and then to make a new complete race car loom, fun times! also whilst that is all happening im getting my backside into gear and making a new tube diff cradle so i no longer get any slap, along with new front lca's so i dont have the same issues i did at matsuri.

 

the very start of the cradle, solid mounts! 

[Rustyrobertson]

because we all love spool noise

So starting to design new rear hub assembly, so I can run dual rear calipers without anything hitting

[Adam]

This is awesome

Both the toys sharing the garage. I'd like to say that they both get equal attention but that's not true. The race car gets most of it

[Rustyrobertson]

Got to love when random parts fail, was a real wtf moment when i started it and it did this:

If anyone else experiances this issue its the reg on your alternator that has failed, mine about 3000rpm was charging at about +20V and it fried my adunio computer

[Matt]

Hahaha trippy lights much?

All fixable obviously

[Rustyrobertson]

So its been a while since anything has actually been done to the drift pig, due to me moving to a new place of work. Now that i have settled in, i've got the drift here to join me and to get some much needed loving  

 

 

 

 

Ive found a new set of rims i love  

 

not even had it been here for an hour i had the new redesigned front lower control arms in  

 

I want more lock, yes i know its something a subaru owner should not really need to deal with, but lets face it, i'm not your average subi owner

 

so in the near future we will be seeing it put on the dyno at my shop, in its stock form first and then i am installing a haltech, 1000cc injectors and e85, lets see what figures we get with that combo  

[Matt]

Awesome! That rear end will need some pumping to fit those rims! Im excited

[aekOne]

those rims are sweet!

[Rustyrobertson]

So the drift lib broke its dyno virginity this arvo, made an impressive 168Kw on 10psi not bad for a 24yr old and 350,000km engine

 

 

Now its time for a Haltech, injectors, new up-pipe and e85

 

 

 

 

And the other night i was playing around with it

[Matt]

forking love this lol.....its every thing i want to do to an rs...but my ocd would never allow me hahaha

I don't know if you know Nick's story but he's been around high performance builds for many years.

yep yep we did our history checks before purchasing the business, nick has passed on as much knowledge to me as humanly possible so hopefully i can build my own rep  

[Rustyrobertson]

so whilst waiting for other stuff to arrive i got bored and made the rs a little more angry

 

 

 

 

 

And the best thing is they are RGB so i can make them all the pretty colours
