Mooarrr pics of the the electric p/s setup please! Very inter das ting! ;)[/QUOTE]
Its a Hydro/electric setup from an MR2. I was planning on going this route with mine originally until I saw the Cobalt full EPS set up. Heading to the junkyard this weekend or next to pull one and make it work.
This is fun when somebody takes a normal DD and turns it into a track car.
Purpose built DA track car > ANY of the cleanest DA show cars
It’s a no brainer.
Electric rack? Is it similar in dimension? Sounds interesting.
I wounder if a civic si or tl 09 rack can work it there bought electronic
It probably isn’t worth the trouble considering that the toyota pump is so simple. All you have to do is make a mount, replace the original pump, plumb a hose or two and run some wires. The other way around would require much more and for the simple benefit of removing the hydraulic system from the list of possible failures…I’d say the time and effort would be better spent on improving other areas of this chassis.
well said

Nice! What tire and wheel setup are you running? You have the 12.19" rotor right?
the luck guy i was to be with at the track, it was a good day we were so close to 3ed place but happy with the 4th finish, next i hope to be on the track side by side with our k20 swap da lol
here is a little video i got http://youtu.be/hkhhmgCtEEk
15x9 with 225 BFG Rival. Discs are 11.75x1. I started with the inexpensive Wilwood kit that comes with the 12.19x0.81 discs but they weren’t so great and required 16 inch wheels.
Nice ride man!
Thanks!
do you feel the rear end sliding a lot more with the front splitter and no rear wing?
also whats the car’s current weight?
oh and what rear brakes are you running?
I cant wait to get my da on the track this spring. I love your build. keep it up.
The rear end is stupid loose. Autox loose. At anything above 140km/h I have to nail my entry speed and keep the throttle flat if I want the front end ahead of the rear. The suspension is basically tuned for use with a wing…I just don’t have one yet. Keeps me humble lol
Weight is 2340 with driver and half load of fuel. Rear brakes are stock with Hawk pads…more than adequate.
Good luck with your build! Got a thread?
…
keep up the good work
This is the build of builds damn! Props

Wow! That’s a hopeful wing! 
I really appreciate how you mounted it though. Functional.
Out of curiosity, why did you choose to put the tow hook through the hood? Nice work regardless.
2 Questions for you, if you don’t mind. How did you wire your kill switch? There’s a couple different ways from what I’ve been reading. Also, where/what is the series of vents on the original hood from? The one you fabricated between the other two holes, front and center.

Tow hook location made the most sense to me because there isn’t anything on the front end that’s solid enough to weld a metal tow hook. Plus my shins and everyones rear bumper covers wouldn’t appreciate it. I don’t like the strap type hooks since they need to be mounted in a large opening like the radiator inlet to allow for miss-alignment while towing. Also the car can still be pulled in the event that I crunch up the front end. Aaand I think it looks bad ass, wanted one ever since I saw it on the JGTC R34 GT-R.
Center vent is from a 07 WRC style Impreza hood. I chose it since it’s the only prefabbed vent out there that resembles the integra’s hood line. Took me a lot of head scratching to come up with that idea.
Kill switch is wired to disconnect alternator from battery and also cut power to the main distribution box.
