The one you saw at Laguna Seca is one of the Formula D cars for Ken Gushi. They showed the race ready version at NAIAS today. It is confirmed to be EJ25 powered. New WRC rules call for a 1.6L not 2.0L, hence the 1.6 DIT engine that Subaru had on display at TMS in November. I wouldn't be...

Maybe in a year or two, but both companies have been quoted very clearly saying that there will be no Turbo production version of this car.

Neither is getting forced induction. Both will be N/A, the goal of the car being lightweight, RWD, 6 speed, responsive handling, and very affordable. Price tag is expected to be under $25k. Weight should be around 2700lbs, I realize this doesnt' seem all that light when looking at cars from the...

I'm buying one in the spring.

7 January, 2012 FMIC is remounted, new lower brackets made for it, headlights and corner lights are on, still need to be wired up, need to trim the airdam for the front bumper cover to fit around the IC. She's getting closer!

I'd say go ahead and drop the tank. I had a similar problem with one of my 240SX's, rubber lines replaced, fuel pump replaced, sock, filter, injector O-rings, all replaced. Turns out there was just enough trash in the tank that after a few miles of running under load the sock would get clogged...

You said the fuel pump and filter were replaced, did you mean the fuel filter along the fuel lines from the tank to the engine, or the fuel sock on the pump itself? What you described really sounds like a clogged or overheating fuelpump, which could be caused by trash in the tank. In fact, you...

Thanks. I plan on doing a similar log if/when I find a nice MkIII. May end up selling this to start that project

28 December, 2011 Got a little bit done today. Properly mounted the intercooler to ensure there are no piping fitment issues, plenty of headlight clearance, and the intercooler shouldn't be hanging below the bumper. I also fabricated lower brackets to help stabilize the FMIC, they're currently...

18 December, 2011 Got a few small things done today. Pulled the speakers out of the donor car and got them into the good one. Fully reassembled both door interiors. Installed the wiper motor and linkage (F that linkage btw), as well as cleaning up the cowl and reinstalling it. Not pictured is...

16 December, 2011 FINALLY did some more work on this thing. Passenger door handle is on, I can actually lock the car now. Got most of the front end on, though I still need to sort out the passenger headlight and corner light. I'm very pleased with how the front bumper turned out. I was a...

24 July, 2011 Getting ready to pull the old rear end out. Dust, dirty, open differential and tiny brakes, boo New rear end is in, with the z32 e-brake functional, then I ran out of motivation for the day. Now, progress stopped for several months at this point. On July 25th, I...

My kingdom for a hoseclamp! Dear diary, jackpot. She's starting to sort of look like a car.

New plugs Coil packs on a string Everything up top is put back together. Braided stainless clutch line from agency power should keep the pedal feel solid

23 July, 2011 Time to put the wrinkle coated valve cover on. New gaskets Set on Locked down

22 July, 2011 The old gasket has been scraped off of the pumpkin. The robot face has ears again! Cover is back on, locked down, sealed up, and just about ready to go back into the rear subframe.

17 July, 2011 That was a fairly productive day. I got the radiator properly mounted, radiator hoses on the car, half of the holes cut for the intercooler piping, one of the Z32/r33 e-brake cables installed, new pads and rotor on one of the z32 rear brakes, 3rd brake light installed, I'm beat...

First coat of VHT, she got the second and third coats, and is curing now. 11 July, 2011 Crappy cell phone pics This one is a bit better. The letters will need a light sanding to be perfect after the VHT fully cures, but I'm pretty happy with the results.
