Thanks a lot, i have a few ideas about the suspension..... The rear upright from the MCD, turned upside down, a homemade shock, but i am still in desig mode......
The engine i started with is the O.S. 320 FF Pegasus, 4 cyl. 4 stroke boxer. It has a sweeeeeet sound,

And you are right about the hassle...... and again my budget is not suited for this engine....

Den lyder da bare superfedt!;)

This would have been the perfect engine for your car soundwise,but what about the torque?Does it have enough?Ask Martin at FG Hobby in Middelfart if he have a cheap engine for you,i have ordered from him many times,even been there last summer,very nice guy.

Looking forward to see more updates on your project,i just love this scratch built cars.

C.lyra 12-08-2008 03:03 PM

RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
 
Ja, den lyder rigtig fedt.....
I know Martin, he is my hobby pusher #1, cool guy...... i have a 28,5 ccm Zenoah.....
The O.S. engine have about 4 hp, but i don´t know about the torque....

Lars from Norway 12-08-2008 03:54 PM

RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
 
Ok,so you already have the Zenoah but want this O.S. engine?As it is about 54 ccm displacement and a boxer construction i guess it will have a good amount of torque.You will have to design some kind of clutch for it,it has max rpm on 8.500,this is about where the clutch engage on a Zenoah engine,hehe.All that aside,it will look very scale as it is to be used in a Subaru;)

I didnt have problems using money at Martins shop,i just stood there drooling on his floor and looking at all the parts on the walls:D

RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
 
I started the projekt as a full scale model of the Impreza, but when i found out how much the O.S. engine costs( 11000,- dkr, that is about 1500 Euros) i went with the zenoah....
I never been to Martins shop, if i ever get there, i need to have a lot of money with me......:D

Lars from Norway 12-09-2008 04:58 PM

RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
 
You certainly have to!I ended up with a bit more than i was going to buy:DHe has a dangerous shop,hehe.

The chassis is made from 10x10mm tube, i am playing a little with the idea of making the chassis in carbon fiber?????
insted of the sheet metal...

Thats awesome, love the jig. Thats just like a full scale jig.
CF, very nice. I like that idea. Cut the wieght down dramatically and still be very strong. I say go for it :).

You should check out selectproducts. com they have tons of different products for forming and molding, like kitty hair as well as many different fiberglass applications. I'm pretty sure they have CF to.
Good Luck, keep us posted.
Lookin forward to this build.

RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
 
Hey TIG, i was looking around at selectproducts. com, and there is a lot of cool stuff. One of the guys at work has been making a lot of work with fiberglas and carbon fiber, and he will help with it....

And thanks for the feed back on my jig and my projekt...
You guys will be the first too get updates:D but i am still working on my house(the wife is on my back to be finnished, it is not as hard as it sounds:D)
