Wrc Impreza projekt
1 Attachment(s)
i am just starting a WRC Impreza projekt, build as a 1:1 scale car. It will have Mcpherson struts suspension front and rear, drive train from my Mcd rally car. I was going for a O.s. 320 FF 4 cyl. boxer engine to start with placed at the front, but now i am using my 260rc engine, and in the org. place.
Some pics.......... more will com.... And please give me tips...... |

RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
No poblem, but when you get to it agin, please continue to keep us all in the loop.
BTW, great job in fabricating the chassis |

RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
Nice project!I'm looking forward for updates....I'm very interested to see the suspension work!Also,don't use a nitro engine...Too much hassle.You are better of with the zen.

ORIGINAL: Giorgos_cupra Nice project!I'm looking forward for updates....I'm very interested to see the suspension work!Also,don't use a nitro engine...Too much hassle.You are better of with the zen. The engine i started with is the O.S. 320 FF Pegasus, 4 cyl. 4 stroke boxer. It has a sweeeeeet sound, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA5AhhvlkUM And you are right about the hassle...... and again my budget is not suited for this engine.... |
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
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. |
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.... |
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 |
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.

RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
Nice project.

RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
May want to take a look at 1/4scale Berettas website. He has a bunch of scratch built stuff like this that may help you.

RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
Can you post some close up shots of your chassis?
What is the chassis made of? Lookin good. |
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt

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... |
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
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) |
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
Hi guys, just a quick update on my projekt, i been making some parts for the uprights, so i can mount the link arms.
I also have been doing some work on the body. Pictures are on the way... |

hey, updates: i just ordered the rims from the cleon and the tires and today plus some axel boots.... can´t wait to they get here...
i haven´t had time for more work the car, so no news there... |
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
what scale is it? in the first post unless im wrong you said 1:1 scale?
|
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
He said it is to be built like an 1/1 scale car,with the same suspension "system" and so on,lets say a more or less exactly downscaled 1/1 car;)The body is 1/5 scale
|
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
Thanks Lars, It is a 1:5 scale.....I am still thinking about alloy, fiberglass or carbon fiber chassis????? i think will stick to the alloy to start with.....
|
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
Make an alloychassi,then you have something thats easy to work with as it is the prototype;)
|
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
Yeah, you are so right...... alloy it is.....
|
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
Update: I just got a mail from my part pusher, that my new rims and some other parts are on the way... Can´t wait
I will upload pictures when i get them... |
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
Make sure to post pics c.lyra!How are you doing with the chassis?Any long time weight estimate?
|

Hey guys, just got my rims and tires..... they so awesome.....
Giorgos_cupra, i haven´t made so much yet because i have building house the last 4-5 weeks.... I started to look at the suspension today, here are some pics |
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
This looks promising!I have wondered about making some McPherson suspension at the front of my homemade car,but i havent found a way to make a combined steeringknuckle/damper solution yet.The rod in the damper is to thin to use as a strut too.But on your struts i cant see no oil filled damper,but just a spring?Am i right?
|
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt

Hey Lars, it is a oilfilled damper, on the picture the damper is not finish.
The damper house is alloy, 15mm tread outside. The rod is 8 mm steel, so i think it will strong enough. I also have to make new uprights, because the front driveshaft is 4mm shorter than the rear, so i can´t use the stock ones... Here is a pic.... |
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
Ok,i thought this only was a frictiondamper,but nooo;)Looking very much forward to see more of this,post as many pics as you can!
|
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
Sure thing, i am designing the new uprights right now, hope i can find the time next week at work to make a prototype....
I also have be looking at the chassis, but no updates there.... |
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt

Hey, updates!!!!
I have been working on the chassis, made a tool so i can make the uprights(pic.1).... on a lathe?? Note on picture 7, the standart diff house is very tall, so i am making two alloy plates, and using two bottom diff houses and the plates as the bottom and one as the top to save some height... |
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
Godt gået!
I like the tool you have made to machine the uprights in!Why havent i thought of this before?:eek:"How to put a square into a triangle",hehe.And also,the rest looks good too;) |
RE: Wrc Impreza projekt
Hey, thanks a lot, i fund out that i need to make the diameter on the wheel `arc` (i don´t know the right word i english) smaller because it is way to high...
And the machinetool was one of the guys at work who showed me that.... |
