GC Impreza
Here's another Masterpiece nearing completion. It's a 93 Impreza L, came to TMS as my car, but I've decided to let it go to my home Nig-ita Rafael. After a small power-slide accident, on our favorite local dirt road, his bugeye WRX was laid to rest. Soon after Rafael came across a 1991 Subaru Legacy Sport with 2.2l turbo, 5 speed, and ABS. He logged some flight time and proved the Legacy chassis wasn't quite fit for him either, so we've decided to swap the EJ22t and drivetrain into the little red GC. Our intern Jessee has been the relentless swap master of all the Legacy body and engine harness'. I've been erecting the roll cage following FIA specifications, however using 1026 DOM tubing. The cage is built with .120" wall thickness throughout. 1.75" diameter was use for the main hoop, front lateral hoops, fore-head, rear down, door, sill, seat belt and A-pillar re-inforcement bars. 1.5" inch diameter tube was used everywhere else, still thick wall .120".
