Frayz's 550bhp+ Prodrive edition Impreza build...

frayz · Dec 13, 2014

Think I'll just leave this here.

Mr R. · Dec 13, 2014

Oh.

Hope you find that £1 coin.

BoatNonce · Dec 13, 2014

Someone's nicked your everything mate.

frayz · Dec 13, 2014

Someone's gonna be removing a whole lot more too. Lol.
Fat cow is on a low calorie diet for Xmas.

frayz · Dec 14, 2014

This is as far as I've got today.
The sack of sound deadening alone was 10.2kg. Which I was quote surprised about.

dmallett · Dec 14, 2014

Was it not fast enough? lol

frayz · Dec 14, 2014

Nowhere near.

frayz · Dec 17, 2014

Something ive wanted for ages but never found a solution was a front splitter to fit the Prodrive edition front bumper. I've a few ideas and the first one of those ideas arrived today.

Genuine WRC dry carbon composite tarmac lip. Think this could look pretty sexy riveted to the front end.

frayz · Dec 18, 2014

Trial fitted the WRC splitter tonight.
No doubt this will split opinion, also have a UK300 splitter on the way. Quite like this though, looks aggressive.

Jack-C · Dec 18, 2014

I think it looks awesome.

frayz · Dec 18, 2014

Cheers Jacko

Dano' · Dec 19, 2014

Yes!!

Philip. · Dec 19, 2014

Lip looks the dogs. :up:

Inequality Street · Dec 19, 2014

Lip doesnt do it for me

tuningmeisterjj · Dec 19, 2014

Thats alot of win with the splitter fitted!!!

Gareth · Dec 19, 2014

Makes it look like a bumper car.

frayz · Dec 24, 2014

Following this up, I've carried on and done some more.

Complete AC system out.

With that in mind I got the trusty bathroom scales out.

Complete AC system was 13.2kg
Space saver & jack 20.1kg
Approx 15kg in misc parts (couldn't get them all on the scales)
11kg sound deadening.

So there a good 60kg before looking at bumper beams and the U brace is still on the car.
I'm yet to start on the doors too. It sounds daft but it's noticeably easier to push by hand.

I've also got a steel alternator bracket on the way so I'll dump the big chunk of ally too.

Mr R. · Dec 24, 2014

This car makes me wish I'd of bought the 02 plate JDM that was on here for sale.

Looking forward to seeing this again mate.

BoatNonce · Dec 24, 2014

That carbon splitter... I couldn't handle cracking that!

Haha. Well it's a genuine WRC tarmac splitter so it's incredibly strong and flexible. (It's not pure carbon, it's a carbon, kevlar, aramide mix)

So should be okay

Thrust-Rated · Dec 24, 2014

Looks great. Didn't realise you was stripping it all! It'll be fun that's for sure!

frayz · Dec 24, 2014

It's an absolute heap of work. However I hope it's all worth it.

frayz · Feb 7, 2015

Well her she is almost ready for her little trip away.

I've been sketching cage designs too and I think I'll be going with something along these lines... Ish.
Dunno yet, Lol

frayz · Feb 7, 2015

Well that's it, she's now living in Wales for a month having the cage done. Looking forward to building it back up once she's done. Cage is full custom T45 so should keep the weight down. I couldn't believe the difference when holding the tubes compared to CDS. Amazing!

Mr R. · Feb 7, 2015

I was going to say poor car, fcuk that its epic. :smiley:

We used to use T45 for the cages in our Aston Martin V8 race car, its very light and very strong.
Being as its so strong means the tube can have a thinner wall. Cant wait to see it again mate.

So i take it its not being sold now?

frayz · Feb 7, 2015

No mate, she's not going anywhere. I'm just gonna go as mad as my budget will allow. Lol

With weddings and houses taking priority.. I can see why you ended up in Swansea !!

Christopher. · Feb 8, 2015

There aren't many word that can discribe th amout of 'want' I have for this car....... I don't even like them that much !!!

imprezaworks · Feb 8, 2015

Call me whatever, but I had a dream about this car last night!. For some reason my dad drove it and he rolled the car off a slight hill, no damage and you (who I've never met) was smoking and laughing. Odd isn't the word

Lol, that is strange. As I don't smoke and I certainly wouldn't be laughing. Lol.

Haha, I don't like em either. I guess this one is just under my skin and I can't leave it alone.

JackJack · Feb 8, 2015

Cage design looks awesome.

Cheers dude, just a sketch so I could show DMS roughly how I wanted it. My Doorbars will be slightly different with some nicer angles to make getting in and out a little easier. The a pillar straight down tube will be a slightly smaller diameter, again to make access a little nicer.
Harness bars will be staggered heights and there will be a few other little WRC style touches thrown in. I can't wait to see it come together.
