Here is a few more pics of bits and pieces

dump pipe flange lightened


Thin wall 3.5" dump pipe


And the twin plate clutch and flywheel, this actually weighs less than the bare stock flywheel alone




And the new wheel and tyre package (another set of rpf-01s) with Z221s

 

Wing mount is coming along now, frame will mount to the body as the boot lid will not handle any load at all

carbon fibreglass boot hacked

 

got a gold box today, a decent upgrade from the old SMC. and also allows a loom/coil upgrade too





Also fuel tank is in, just need the last couple of lines run now and the filler hoses

 

At this point I managed to strip out the rooted old engine loom ready for the new custom tefzel loom for the motec,
mounted the new air temp and water temp sensors too.
Because a lot of stuff is run though the dash it should be a fairly simple/basic rewire.

I also test fitted most of the fibreglass panels again too, this is the first time I have really had most of the parts
on all at the same time.

 

The weight loss obsession and upgrades continue on.


The fuel tank is now also completed, just need to add the filler system now.




Replaced all of the brass t-pieces and barb fittings with alloy ones.




And finally have these on the way, They have 20mm extra inner clearance(i should now be able to fit a 10" rim on the back),
3kgs lighter than the stock arms (per arm=6kgs total),
They accepts the late model bolt on bearing/hub assembly(4-9) and its already fitted with a bracket for the rear brembos(i currently run bolt on adaptors)
I no longer run the stock toe arm so these dont have a provision for them.
Toe adjustment is done on the front joint with a threaded setup, no shims.
The standard rear end binds badly on bump so the aim of these and removing the toe arms is to free it up a bit, no doubt there
will be side affects but hopefully less than the stock setup.

 

The bigger clutch slave was modified and installed finally, up from the stock size (18mm I think?)
to 22mm, it has reduced the throw a of the fork compared to pedal travel,
it was border line over throwing with the stock slave cylinder due to the twin plate.






The exhaust is pretty much complete now, it just needs a rear hanger and its done....yay.
I'll then remove the dump and screamer for coating as the dump (3.5") is pretty close to the sumo and transfer

 

And that is pretty much where Im at currently, still a lot of small things to do but looking good.

 

WOW crazy build. First time i see a Evolution 2 Looks good and good luck with the build

 

thanks mate, its coming along, power wise it wont be crazy compared to most but hopefully the low weight helps

 

What a transformation. This thing is sick!

 

track vids now

 

It's come a long way mate, been watching this build forever!

 

thanks, it has changed direction a few times thats for sure

almost there, hope to hit the track soon


cheers Benny

 

Very nice, Ive always had the thing for the original body style cars, and I owned a Galant VR-4 as my first car, despite blowing the motor in 72 hours of the purchase. I absolutely love the sheet metal work.. Gives me a little inspiration

 

Awesome work! What is the final weight goal? It seems to me that about 2000 lbs is in the right range but looks like more aero is needed to create substantial down-force.

BTW, who made the tubular front sub-frame and rear sub-frame?
