hey everyone. rob from racefab in new Zealand here. after a good mate/customer has pulled out of a evo build we were doing for him ive decided to take it on as a shop car build and will do a build thread on it

this is to give people ideas, get ideas from others and also to show all our custom parts we do for the evo 7-9's

this car will be built for time attack, superlap and drag type racing so the plan is to get it nice and light

 

because we plan on making custom tubs and front support panel we've made a brace to show all the factory engine mount and head light mounting points, so once its all cut off we can make mounts up to those points

 

radiator support panel is off and same with the factory engine mounts

 

here's one of our custom front frames made in chromoly for it. runs all the factory steering rack and swaybar mounting points. this is the first of the weight savings with 5.1kgs now saved

 

front frame sitting in place. we plan on fitting everything up and then completely stripping the car for painting of all parts

 

here's roughly where the rear guards need to be cut to get this thing nice and low with no clearance issues

 

now our custom rear subframe made in chromoly ready to be fitted. we plan on running the rs version diff so this frame is to suit one, but also have another frame to suit a 3000gt/ gto rear lsd diff for drag racing. (only because we make the subframes and also have a gto lsd diff)

 

rear subframe sitting in place so we can work out where some toe arm mount support bars can go. also the spare wheel well is soon to be gone

 

Looking good so far guys!

 

Great work subscribed

 

i was told by someone at racefab that the front chromo sub frame was 15lbs ''7kg'' lighter then stock. this was the version that retained OEM steering rack and sway bar. is this true? this was the one i am going to buy if it is. otherwise i may get something else.

 

Your steering wheel will be on the right (No pun intended) side!

 

pimp!!

 

looking good Rob keep up the good work mate .

 

keep the updates coming Rob!
