Evo 5RS

Scaled and aligned for this Thursday’s Tarmac Events rallysprint!

Subaru parts on the Evo?? I feel dirty..

After seeing the monster that is SJ 1000 at Goldrush hollclimb in Queensland last month, I stole his intercooler tank idea and promptly ordered one to replace the mini beer keg in the engine bay that feeds the intercooler spray bar.

In its place will go this shiny header tank to keep the cooling system in check.

Fabrication And Performance knocking it out of the park with the hard lines for the ABS install - super clean!!!

Another belated hard line appreciation post. Some sexxy stainless hardline brake lines we made up for this lucky Evo 5 RS and its new #boschmotorsport ABS unit. As part of an overall birthday/ clean up effort these fresh lines really POP! Hardline can be a bit of a headache to get right but its all worth it in the end 😍 If you want confidence in you stop pedal come and see us and we can see what we can do for you!

Spent the weekend dressing the spare motor getting it ready to go in the hole.
Decided to run it as wet sump to save pulling balance shafts.

Plan is it will do Malaga and maybe Bunbury, we are waiting on when the big motor pistons arrive from in the US. Then we see if the stroker can get rebuilt/fitted/tuned and tested in time!

Back to regular Evo related programming 🏎️

New billet front uprights just arrived from the US to suit the later CT bearings and front driveshafts.

Big thanks to both SSB Designs for the uprights, and ERS Evolution Racing Spares for the driveshafts and bearings!

Welcome to the stable - Kermit!

Since I saw the original racing back in the day at Wanneroo Raceway as a 10yr old, I’ve always been a big fan of the livery and shape - when this came up I just couldn’t say no.

Plan is to build as a tarmac rally car in Classic class and run in Tarmac Events WA, with assistance from Advanced Motorsport Solutions and Auto Sport Electronics as always!

The fox is out of the bag 😉
