August 25, 200520 yr Before I really starting mod'ing it...way back in Dec of '04 CCR Autox back in...March? Thanks Timmah for the Pic! At a CCR event... The day it happened... Finally got it torn down...it sat like this for the next 6 weeks or so... All the parts from the donor car (1987 GL-10 Sedan, also white ) ready to go on... RX loaded with spares and other parts...along with the transmission project on the ground there...and MORE stuff behind it. Finally, all emptied out and on the lift to get put together. YAY! Its welded on!
August 25, 200520 yr Author Lights and fender on...Tom said get the grinder out...I said no, it lines up perfectly. "Holy ***** it does!"-Tom Bumper, trim peice and hood latch/center support. Hood on...awaiting night to fall for more parts to be installed... Grille, Airdam.... My "new" boost guage.... All de-decaled (cept for Solo2 stickers) and mostly clean... Mad T1T3 JDM pics! Next...a good wax job, and some proper autox stickers....and an intercooler.
August 25, 200520 yr Well done mate,.. good to see it back What are you gonna do with it? 1/4 miles? Track times? Or frightening ricey teenagers? Goodluck Gannon
August 25, 200520 yr Wow, thats awesome... props for saving another soob... alot of people would have scrapped it.
August 25, 200520 yr Car looks great but polish up those rims man. Every time I see your car it looks sooooo good then I see the rims and they are just covered in brake dust. Are you using a really dusty pad. Curiosity is just killing me.
August 25, 200520 yr I'm sure most pads would generate that much dust if Will is driving Nice work dude!
August 25, 200520 yr dude if i ever hit somthing i am calling oyu that is awsome it looks like it was just driven of the showroom except for the rims what is the lever behind your shifter for?
August 25, 200520 yr Looks awesome, Will. Congratulations on an awesome job. [That lever is the Hi/Lo selector for the FT4WD D/R transmisson - damn I want one.]
August 25, 200520 yr SWWWWWEEEEEEEETTTT! Looks like it never hit that tree:banana: YAY another Soob saved from the crusher:grin:
August 25, 200520 yr Author This is an autocross car...and daily driver right now. I'm WAY too hard on the brakes for wheels to ever be clean.
August 25, 200520 yr This is an autocross car...and daily driver right now. I'm WAY too hard on the brakes for wheels to ever be clean. you could always get those dust covers that go under the rim.
August 25, 200520 yr you could always get those dust covers that go under the rim. Unnecessary weight
August 25, 200520 yr Author the plan is to stick the good hooisers on the white rims, the other hooisers on the set thats on there now...I have another set of rims like that with Khumos already on them....and put streets on the steelies i have and run the stock RX wheel covers.
August 25, 200520 yr eh, just scrub the rims really good, then use a high quality wax on em, that will keep the brake dust from sticking so easily and make em easier to wash the next time.
August 25, 200520 yr Thats soooooooo sweet:headbang:. Good work man, about how long did the tear down / rebuild process take?
August 25, 200520 yr What is your steering column gauge pod made for? Who makes it? Any modification required?
August 25, 200520 yr Author took 2 months....with about 60 hours of actual work in it. its a stock factory boost guage from SUBARU(WRX and STi)
August 26, 200520 yr Bravo! Nice work and pictures. That was worthwhile and probably a lot less work/hassle than parting it out and building a new car.
