update time!

 

 

I wonder whats happening here

 

 

What starts as a flat sheet, will end up as two fuel cells, should have them done within a week  

[Rustyrobertson]

More updates

 

 

Not 100% about the position of the light bar, but will change it when i get a new front bar

 

 

 

so with the new fuel cell comes a new fuel pump only the best for the drift lib

 

 

 

 

we've done that one thing that we go once its done, how the F*&k did i do that???

this is the birds nest ive got to work out atm

Update time  

 

Switch panel all wired up and tested.

 

 

 

Swapped out the projector HID's for led floods 

 

 

Just some quality shielding this takes about twice as long but proves a much better result i think.

Seems like people have lost interest in the car, but ill post anyway.

 

A lot has happened since the last post, so ill try to get the good bits

 

i finished the wiring and then the car started nicely after i fixed my stuff up on my injector loom (main harness plug the pins weren't connecting fully cheap bloody plug) 

 

finished engine bay shot. we rotated the turbo compressor housing which removed about 450mm of intercooler lenght, which i picked up boost about 250rpm earlier

 

 

after we adjusted the rear track and with the installation of the tube rear cradle it ended up stretching the passenger side cv shaft a little too much so we made up a spacer to fix this.

 

 

 

 

new fuel cell was completed and installed with a custom cradle

 

 

then it made it back onto the dyno for me to tune it

 

 

I tuned it really safe so i wouldnt have any issues and so it was reliable still made a decent 175kw atw (pic below isnt final powerfigure)  peak power was @ 3100 rpm as well. which made drifting the lib such a pleasure

 

I rolled it off the dyno and straight onto a tow truck heading for queensland raceway! talk about cutting it close to a deadline

 

 

Because of the tight deadline i left the cleaning until the morning of drifiting

 

 

I may of destroyed a few tires and lost a side skirt and broke an exhaust hanger

 

 

NOW for some action shots!

 

 

 

 

With the safe tune i was happy to sit the lib on limiter

Hope you all enjoyed the read.

Definitely havent lost interest. This thing is awesome. Good to see someone do a drift baru properly instead of just welding the diffs and exploding shafts. When do we see an update on the gen 3 H6 plan tho

Thanks for the kind words and support, the gen 3 should be getting some love and attention soon, now that the drift car is basicly dialed in and performing very well

Matt i didn't actually end up going E85 due to time and couldn't get the rails and injectors i wanted, so she made that power on stock injectors with pump 98  

[Matt]

Thats even better mate!!!!

I have heard that somewhere before, i did get some spectators yelling at me from off track about my smoke tyres not drugs sticker  

[Rustyrobertson]

DO IT!

[andrew_k]

This is totally mad. Great build, thanks for sharing the details

[Richo]

DO IT!

Someone did years ago over here and a mate of mine was an "instructor" (just a bunch of the higher level guys n gals helping the noobs) at the race track for drift events. Said they're a nice car to drift.
