Project "Dougla" begins...

Postby Monk BANzai » July 21st, 2006, 6:39 pm

i've decided to have a running "journal" about project Dougla...have not really seen it done here.....

Image

..so last weekend we did the unthinkable.....broke the GSR LSD diff.....so we took the time to jack up the rear of the car and do some "structual inspection......

Image
Image

the car is 17yrs plus...so we expected to find strucual fatige..which wasnt as bad as we thought

Image

original GSR brakes...we're looking at an upgrade..just not sure what direction as yet as they do bring th car down in its current setup
Image

Karl found something that he cudnt immediately idientfiy..so we dubbed it..."Fuel Torque COnverter...." lol
Image

what was really funny is thaat the exhaust sytem is a 3 inch up at the down pipes but is then "REDUCED" to 2.5 inches....yeh....
Image

so a quick call to Navin at D n D (have yall seen his mad 200 Sx as yet?....wow!!!) yeilded us this...fresh off the container....this will be spliced on to the rest of th 3 inch set up we want to use..
Image
Image


thats it for now..hopefully tomorrow we'll scrap the diff and see what went "clunk" and make an attempt at fixing/replacing it.....we've installed the Recaros last weekend (actualyl it was this fresh feeling of compfrt that led to the diff breaking...)

Image

and ive swapped out the "blingers" for something lightweight....for now.

Thats nice, hear nah, banzai, that Nur Spec looks to me like it has WRX/STI hanger mounts, give men a bligh and sell it to a grateful subie owner and geh a nex 3" for the lancer nah, it would be worth your while, it would also be the 2nd time ive seen a subie diffback chopped into a box lancer!

Anyway, we want engine bay pics, and tell us, what are your options for upgrading the GSRs diff? Do you have to stick to the solid rear axle?

I don't know the Lancer, why is it XL if it has GSR diff etc? (conversion?)
