DMS Rally suspension, hood pins, mud flaps, steel braided lines skid
plate installed - stickers started... and Dave Clark is working on
the cage - these things take time!
As shown in the
photos the DMS use specialized adapters in the rear installation of
the WRX which allowed me to easily bolt the rear strut top in rather
than deal with fabrication - - all in all it took 15 mins to
assemble the struts
Sparco stainless
steel hood pins - stainless steel pins work best as they will not
bend and sway like aluminum pins may. We also created and welded on
a bit of steel to hold the bottom portion of the pin firmly in
place. Once the holes were drilled in the hood, and the pin was
stationed, I painted over the welded bits to prevent rusting. (this
installation in all took about 1-1.2hours)
Mud flap brackets
were made by cutting 3/16" section of aluminum into 2-3" long
sections - then drilling them out for pop rivets - then cutting out
the mud flap material to best suit the shape of the car - next
mark/drill holes into both body of the car and the flap itself -
finally pop rivet into place. (fabrication/installation took 1-1.5
hours)
The team is using
Goodridge stainless steel braided lines with Motul Brake Fluid and
Porterfield pads. Pull old lines off, install new WRX Specific
lines, bleed, flush fluid, installed pads (front only at this
point). (installation took about 1 hour
With every added
part, this rally car is really starting to take shape! more
soon.... - Jamie |
