2006 Impreza STi "Time Attack" - RaceDynamix
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2009 8:53 pm
New year, new project .....
following on from last year's project: forum/viewtopic.php?t=8731
Plans have taken a while to set in stone and while there is still an awful lot that is not finally decided and lots that will change during the year, the general direction is clear.
The main emphasis will be: Lower, Wider, Lighter.
However the main changes include:
- ECU to enable me to run a 5th injector to cope with fueling for pure E85
- suspension modifications
- weight reduction and lowering of C.O.G.
Whilst still retaining it as a daily driver and a car that I can drive over to the ring - that is going to be the challenge.
Power is currently 545 bhp & 603 lb/ft so no slouch but the work will make the car more rapid on track and competitive within Time Attack 2009. Pilot improvement will also be a main part of the programme
I have been very fortunate to get some great support for this year - more on those later when the graphics are applied but I really appreciate the help, support and assistance given by all.
First port of call is off to ABW Coachworks in Essex (ABW) for some widening and custom work. Daren and the team there will be waving their magic over the car and handing back something unique, distinctive and fit for purpose
This year really starts tomorrow when it goes down there - cant wait
Progress pics will be added as I go and will be shown on the new Race Dynamix website Race Dynamix ... (once I finish building it .... )
