looks nippy

[Jonny1984]

It's a bit subtle, isn't it?

Mental, love it!

I too think this looks like it might be 'quite brisk'

[wackojacko]

Looks serious, any videos ?

[JollyGrnMonster]

It does tend to attract a little attention.

Weight is estimated at 1100kgs, yes its rather rapid

Hoping to get some sprint, track, drag time in it this year.
Its fun in the road but not really able to use any throttle lol

Sort of.

Have a vid of it on the dyno and have a vid of just sound when I took it down a runway, wasnt allowed to video as it was an raf base so just the roof lol

Stunning. Absolutely lovely and must be insane to drive.

Seats don't look overly comfortable!

[JollyGrnMonster]

Dyno run at 721bhp 680lb if I recall correct.
Upped the boost slightly since hence estimate 800bhp

this was recorded at MLr 30-130 at RAF Marham, hence only the roof and sound..

trickling along in 2nd gear and then floored, up through the box to 170mph..
it was wet hence a lot of wheel spin

they are actually surprizingly comfy.. everything on the car was done with weight in mind.. or lack of, only glass is the front screen, doors are fibreglass, cage is chromolly, bonnet is ally, boot has had the inner skin removed, no heater, dash is only a fibreglass shell, fuel tank is ally and only 22litres..

very nice.

looks like you have spent a fair bit in it, carbon door inners, wide tracks, engine etc..

What do you use it for? Track use

Well my track car/road car (another impreza) was getting a little tried and this 2door shell came along, so it was built to replace the other car and took a year.. it just went a little more extreme with complete custom looms and no road friendliness at all.. only done the one event with it so far, got a sprint booked next month, hope to do TOTB and possibly some other sprints this year and maybe a track day.. its going to have to be a jack of all trades really..

starting to consider aero next for sprint and track work, spoiler, splitter, flat floor etc.

its a subaru svx 3.3litre eg33 engine.. subaru built them for a while in the 90s


standard it is normally aspirated..

So my engine has had forged pistons, rods, and race bearings added, along with some pinning to the block to stop the cylinders moving, 14mm head studs, the heads have been ported and polished alot..
had some billet cams made and machine work to the heads to allow them to fit, new valves, spins, buckets etc.. wasnt a cheap engine
