We removed EVERYTHING from this car to make it faster. We carefully took out the seats, the carpet and even the rear wiper to try and shave seconds off of our lap time.
We’re trying to beat a supercar with just £15,000. We bought a Subaru Impreza for just under £4000 and since then we’ve fitted a new clutch, a set of coilovers and some semi-slick track tyres.
With Scott off being a racing driver, we put the Subaru on the scales to get the benchmark number. But before we could do that, we had to figure out how to actually use it.
Scott was overtaking SUPERCARS well over 50 times more expensive than the Subaru. With one Porsche left behind, Scott went after a Ferrari 488 Pista.
Not content with shaming supercars, Scott overtook a Radical before passing the Porsche AGAIN.

Firstly I'd like to say that I love that you've gone for the "it's now a practical van" approach. Secondly: removing the sunroof and welding the hole shut could save a few crucial kg at the highest point of the car. Also: I can't exactly remember how adjustable the suspension is but I'd also suggest to retune it since it's now set up for a car that's 135kg heavier.

I have almost that exact same car (cloth interior instead of leather). The front passenger seat has been out for almost 1.5 years because I've been building a new house and from passenger wheel well to hatch I can get about 9.5 feet (2.9m) of lumber. On the rare occasion that my wife needs to ride, she actually loves the back seat with tons of leg room. WAY more practical without all of those interior bits!😃

I'm afraid they went in backwards. You start by getting it to "fighting weight". Cage it and skin the doors. Then you get the suspension and tire compound working. Once you change the weight the spring rates will be all wrong and the tires might not heat properly. Also if you are light enough you might even downsize the brakes and wheel width because you are fighting less mass. Use a lawnmower/Honda size battery located centrally in the car. Cut 10 Kilos/20 lbs of copper wiring to accessories you aren't using out of the wiring loom. Lose the roof rack and the fog lamps. Remove the alternator from engine and run it off the rear diff. Moves weight lower and weight bias to rear.

Don't forget to remove the motors for the sunroof, rear wiper, and rear windows. Getting the A/C system properly drained shouldn't be too expensive. Either that or maybe the A/C already had a leak when you got the car. You could probably replace the sunroof with an acrylic panel and some silicone to seal it.

The video should be called Bell ends go wild. Love your work. But, the bar under the rear seats that weighs 3kg is a structural stiffness bar. You might want to keep that one. And in a Subaru weight in the rear is better. Removing weight from the front is more important. So, 86 the air-con system, relocate battery to rear, and plug and remove the moisture collector under the air box. Also, due to the loss of heat protection. I suggest cutting a section out near the a and b pullers on the inside of he front panels and putting another hole near the mirrors will vent the heat out. As a bonus your mirrors will not need to be defrosting. So you could get a practicality point from that. Oh, and rear Sway Bars in Subaru are more important especially in wagons.

Being a kid born in 86, I was a junior in high school when the WRX and STi’s came to America along with the EVO and Dodge releasing the SRT-4. My best friend at that point in time had an 01 2.5RS that he kept N/A but added the obligatory intake and catback exhaust along with a cam and injectors. What he did that surprised everyone was spent $8k on the top tier suspension, brake and wheel/tire mods. That car, while in the straights would get its doors blown off by even a stock STi, more than made up for it with its ability to blow through corners with what felt like limitless grip and just the right about of over/under steer. Even at the limit that 2.5RS gave me confidence that even a 911 Turbo S couldn’t match in terms of subjective feeling. 36 years old now and I recently finished building my own 01 2.5RS but I went with the EJ25 route that’s relatively tame, however I took the same route as far as suspension, brakes wheels and tires and anyone who has driven it fails to stop smiling their entire drive

I agree, especially because it's 'unsprung' rotating mass. It would effectively put more power to the ground & help it turn in/change direction better on top of just reducing overall weight.

The air that we want to bring in will get out through the cylinder, manifold, turbine and exhaust. I’m talking about getting ambient air to the compressor instead of hot. The duct will be sealed. You’re talking about air pressure in the engine bay generating negative downforce. Different argument with a different solution for a different reason.

I love this Series I have an 03 WRX wagon that I’m going to be stripping down and making it into a street go kart type vehicle so basically cutting off the whole body and building a real cage I’m doing extreme weight reduction so it’s interesting to see the build on this and how much weight you lose with just interior stripping!!!

the track that they took the base lap times was a power track so less drag makes more sense but trying to beat a car that has at least 300hp more than you around a power track doesn't, if they can add some downforce and take the base laps in a downforce focused track, they will have more chance

You guys should of done at least 5 laps each, cut the first two off then average the last three, Anytime my club has a meet or a timed event both the car and us warm up to the track in some cases going from 1:42 time to a 1:14 time lowest during the day with car running nominal the whole day.

Damp track is a huge equalizer. My brother has FTD at the SCCA Chimney Rock hill climb once, driving a vintage Lotus type 61 Formula Ford, beating purpose-built hill climb cars from the likes of John Finger. The pros retook all the podia the next day of course, when it didn’t rain, but it was cool while it lasted.

Tilt the sunroof up for a stepped roofline profile closer to the ideal teardrop shape silhouette. Also turn up the HVAC blower so it pumps vented air outward reducing boundary air in front of the vehicle. Like an air bridge out the roof.
