Prajekt L: 2700lbs of Fury

You need to change columns to fit the WRX steering wheel or what?

 

i'm not sure if we can move all the wrx stuff(key hole, harnesses, etc) of off that column and onto the L column

 

the switch is so that all of the wrx stuff, dash, wiring, key, wiper, turn signals, etc. just plug right in without splicing.

although i am not positive if justin got that part of the wiring too since it sounds like he did not get the column or rack with his goods.

edit- looks like he has the column but not the rack.

 

hey!! Let me know if you need any assistance, I'm around all weekend long. Sounds like you made some good progress since Tuesday!!

 

looks awesome man, i will be around monday if you want or need some help

 

unless you want some SUPER GO-KART Steering like mine.... hehehe

 

I want your fogs.

 

lol the coveted L fogs...one mealllion doll hairs

 

I think we should look more closely to see if its possible. Might be easier than some of these other options.

 

sounds good to me

 

single stage booster, monster master cylinder, and tranny installed...

 

oooooo aspen colorado white

 

I will start shaving barbies for you then.

 

did all the brake lines clear the Tranny with enough room?

 

yeah we have about an 1" in one spot...but everything cleared perfectly

 

so tonight she had a 30lbs weight reduction from the rear...anyone guess what it was??

 

Back seat? Spare tire?

 

I know what it was but I'm not telling

 

nope and nope

 

lightweight bumper beam number 1 of 3 left in the US?

 

yes bumper beam or perhaps the trunk-less conversion.

oohh maybe you removed teh gas tank (fuel cell coming?) or are doing a FWD conversion.

 

dead hooker torso?

 

I don't know if I'd call it a "beam" exactly. More like a piece of tin foil for the rear bumper cover to hang from.

 

^

I'm willing to guess it was this. Where's my cookie:biggrin:

 

lets just say that if i get rear ended its not going to be pretty lol

need to take out the rear tail lights



stock beam removed


jdm vs. stock beam


actual jdm beam weight...4.5lbs!!!


Overall install wasnt to bad. You cant take the bumper cover off while its on the car, you need to take the whole cover/beam off at the same time then you can take the cover off.
The jdm beam is nothing more than a bracket for the cover to snap onto to hold it in place...no crash protection whatsoever.

 

sounds safe. lol

 

My guess is its more for the US's 5mph crash requirement than overall crash safety. I ditched the ugly 5mph bumpers on my Merkur XR4Ti for the european sierra cosworth bumpers and you end up getting rid of the beams like that.

This is the same reason the european BMW's (well alot of cars for that matter) in the 80s and 90s look way cooler. The US ones have the fat lip.

 

no wonder the shop stank for weeks...:eek3:

 

yeah, this is true... thats also another reason we dont get alot of the cars other places do as well

 

That should be a quick little car

 

whoa there is a huge difference between the bumper beams. hope you dont get hit.

 

you should've saved that extra 4.5lbs and zip tied and ducktaped on the bumper

 

ya know getting a lightwieght exhuast will save you alot of wieght. IIRC the buddy club racing spec 3 is only 13lbs for a cat back. that would save like 40lbs from the car.

 

^ dude just add a turn down and eliminate exhaust, weight reduction should be free.

 

you better not get stuck at the ice race, I would hate to rip your bumper off

 

tow hooks ftw!

 

the way justin gets stuck sometimes you cant get to them

 

^just run it through the trunk to the harness bar ;-)

 

:banana:

integrate a muffler into your downpipe, and end it there :yumyum:





or forget the muffler

 

^ indeed, and also, justin when are you guna bust out the hole saw! i mean seriously!

 

lol its polka dots that are see through

 

time to play 'whats inside that box'!! all of you that were in the shop today that saw cant play

 

hmm... 66lbs.

full coilovers. perhaps BCs?

 

DAAYYYUM martin. you are good. more pics to come

 

w00t! I am pretty good at the whats in the box game. guess it comes from receiving alot of mystery boxs lately.

it helps when the weight is obviously posted on the box.

P.S. i still want those fogs.
