- Background
- This car used to belong to a close friend of mine and was a long term project of his.
He wanted a 1G AWD that he he could take out to the road and autocross course, with less of a emphasis on straight line (drag) racing.
With this goal in mind, he began to build the car up.
After a few years, he lost interest in the project and migrated to Miatas. This car sat for many years before he mentioned early in 2017 that he was going to start parting it out.
I had just gotten the 1G DSM "bug" back in my system after selling my GVR-4 and hated seeing a good car get parted out, so we struck a deal. He unloaded his automotive "albatross" on me and I was back in the 4G63/DSM game.
Most of the mods were performed by the previous owner, but with more of a mindset for a car that could turn. I wanted a street car that could possibly be driven on a track while he favored to build a track car that was just marginally street legal.
What mods, you say? No front crash beam. No factory seatbelts, in favor of 5 point harnesses. Gutted heater ducting and heater core from under the dash. Gauges mounted where the A/C control knobs were among other things.
*Sigh*
So, of course, some changes were made by me to make it more street friendly.
The front bumper support was modified to clear the Intercooler core. I reinstalled the under dash heater and air ducting with associated components. Swapped out the cracked dash, Reinstalled rear interior panels and seats. Rewired the factory seatbelts to work again. Removed a 3 in thick custom radiator and installed a 2 Core Mishimoto Radiator, new fans and Electric Fan Controller. 90 OFH and Air/Oil Cooler. All new gauges, head unit and speakers.
My goal is to have a fun street car that hopefully I can take to a HPDE event and not have it self destruct on the track or stuff me in the dirt.
Mostly I just want to drive it and enjoy the feel of AWD and the song of the 4G63.
