Spec B Nz Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hello everyone my names Kyle and this will be my first post , Ive had a few people request a build thread so ive decided i will create one. I also have a youtube channel here. http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpFdSyR9dxpMjmk_euyAcmg There may be no content as of yet but i will add content as time goes on and work is done on my car. Heres a list of what i plan to do with my car. - Hydro Dip interiors - Carbon Fibre parts ( mirrors , bonnet , trunk etc ) - Sti Recaro seats - Sti front lip - 3.6 tribeca engine swap - Rotrex Supercharger - New air panel intake - Upgrade stock McIntosh audio - Light weight clutch / flywheel - New bilstein shocks + STI springs - Damd steering wheel - Hella horns - Sti wheels - Escort passport 9500 CI - Brembo brakes ( might end up getting a 6 pot up front and 4 rear ) And heres the car now. http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt214/dsr2shot/15502855_10153984181552117_1001323140_o_zpsuvts3bnm.jpg http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt214/dsr2shot/16326437_733522963519006_682050806_o_zpssynhk4uo.jpg The main goal for this build is to hit 11 second quarter miles while doing something unique, I understand theres been similar builds but mine will be slightly different. Im willing to push this build further than others have with their and really see the breaking limits of these cars. ----------- EDIT Have made a instagram account where i will be uploading a mass amount of photo to, all build related stuff will go here, but my instagram will be for random sneaky pictures and pictures of my previous legacys ive owner. 2.0R , Blitzen , Spec B https://www.instagram.com/spec_monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated Too sigmafour Posted January 25, 2017 I Donated Too Share Posted January 25, 2017 I think this thread needs to be moved to the picture forum. I wish you the best of luck with this... It was hard to read your spreadsheet but I gather the gist is you are planning a 3.6R swap which has also been done of course by those crazy kids the next island over from you. However if you're willing to push it a bit more then that will be interesting however the internals on that 3.6R are mighty expensive and a neighbor of yours needs spark plugs at $32 NZD each! What is your expected budget for all this and why wasn't insurance already highlighted green on your spreadsheet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I must have uploaded the wrong image. Will edit and upload a better quality image later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a turbo H6 swapped wrx in my city pushing out 500wkw Where abouts in the country are you Spec B Nz? We have good mechanics here, infact im looking to do most of the work myself, although the engine swap will require assistance Im in north island. Although i may consider having the yoda himself involved in the build , i mean im estimating $15,000 - $20,000 to go into the engine. Ive seen this kind of build reach 420HP but im looking to hit 450. I realistically think i can hit 10s but since super gramps tried to hit 11s but failed [ think they did 12.1 ] i reckon i could beat that due to higher hp gains and weight reduction mods.
